Meta is reportedly working on a decentralized social app with a text-based format. Currently, the app is being developed under the codenamed P92 and the details about its release have yet to be determined. According to a spokesperson from Meta, “We’re exploring a standalone decentralized social network for sharing text updates. We believe there’s an opportunity for a separate space where creators and public figures can share timely updates about their interests.”

Decentralization in social apps would mean that data and control are distributed across a network of users rather than being held by a single entity like a corporation. This would give users the benefit of greater privacy, security and control over their personal information, all the while allowing more diverse and decentralized communities to form, with less reliance on centralized platforms.
