Good space time yall in this episode of The Citizen Cosmos podcast, I'm joined by Benjamin, a.k.a. xylophonezy. He's the founder of Decent Land a Tool for Building Decentralized Communities Arweave news and Permacast podcast Storage Protocol. Along with Benjamin, we discussed storage development Dao tooling, decentralized frontend, the state of web2 and web3, and the adoption of the latter. We also spoke about interoperability and whether or not decentralization should be the end goal of everything.

Benjamin
I kind of felt uncomfortable about the fact that we were like all about decentralization, price is almost like a crutch for, you know, a project that might just be an EVM fork that can't offer anything else. Having your DAO discussions on Web2 puts the transparency at risk. The incentives in Web2 are anti-user Social media is pretty much controlled by five or so companies, all of which use closed source non interoperable protocols.

And this is the crucial thing, I think in the beginning you need to make the developer experience as smooth as possible. Building a blockchain is not everything you also need to build end user applications. If something doesn't work, you are free to create something that is better, that has functionality that he wants, and you don't have to ask anyone. The decisions made through governance actually change the course of events.
