When I first thought about decentralized social media, my vision was *not* the Fediverse, but something else entirely:

Peer-to-Peer social networking.

To make social media completely free, resistant to centralization, I began work on a peer-to-peer messaging app with microblogging capabilities.

It made it to alpha, and we managed to send and receive messages to recipients on phones.

But I after to trying to pitch decentralization to everyone, I found tremendous resistance.
