Building Decentralized Social Networks with Braxton Woodham
In this episode, Braxton Woodham, co-creator of DSP (Decentralized Social Network Protocol), joins us to explore the future of social media and why centralized platforms are starting to lose their grip. Braxton shares his insights into how DSP empowers users by giving them ownership over their social graphs, offering a new, decentralized approach to online interaction.
We discuss why centralized platforms are falling short, how decentralization can bring a more user-first, equitable future, and what the shift to decentralized networks could mean for the way we connect, share, and communicate online.
If you're curious about the next generation of social media and how decentralization could change everything, this episode is for you.
