[LARGE APP SCENARIO] Decentralized Twitter (Dewitter): what does an EDV-based, fully decentralized "Twitter" platform look like?

Here's what an EDV-based, fully decentralized Twitter (code named Dewitter) platform might look like...

Here is the full description of the 50+ assumptions and use cases that comprise the current version of the Dewitter app scenario: Click Trusted Content Storage (TCS Stack): Decentralized Twitter (Dewitter) App Scenario

NOTE: In a subsequent variation of the baseline fully decentralized use case, the addition of centralized servers and server-hosted EDV Server Instances will be considered. This variation is called “Distributed Twitter (Distwitter)” because it runs across multiple centralized servers in addition to local, personal EDV server instances; that is, Distwitter is not fully decentralized.

I think of decentralized use-cases in terms of Separation of Concerns. Twitter, like other platform business models, combines a bunch of concerns into a platform to get platform lock-in. For example:

    • Storage of one's tweets
    • Discovery of one's tweets
    • Moderation of tweets twitter can see
    • Policies for moderation
    • Identity provider aspects including verified identities
    • Policies for who is a verified identity
    • Audit and accountability for all of the above

Decentralization of twitter could mean making any and all of these seven activities separable and substitutable.
