Resilient Social Networks

The author argues that social networks should be built for resiliency, meaning minimal single points of failure, rather than for decentralization, which they call a loaded and poorly defined term. The article says a resilient network must be protected from governments, institutions, third parties, users, founding teams, and its own moderators or operators, with feeds resistant to manipulation and content remaining under its authors' control. It states that blockchain currently offers the best means to achieve this, citing the DeFi protocol Aave as an example of resilience design, and it says the principles will guide the development of Lens V3.
