1/4 Welcome to Focus

For all newcomers to Focus and Decentralized Social (DESO), welcome to the future of social media.

You're the 0.1% of the 0.1% who have found your way to the only truly decentralized L1 Blockchain that is purpose built for social media.

You might have a lot of questions but here are some of the basics:

1, Your entire social graph from the moment you signed up lives on the DESO blockchain. Each post, each like, each follow... They are now forever and immutably inscribed in the ledger. And you own it.

2, Your social media identity is now completely and sovereignly yours. Just like you took control of your wealth with crypto, you've now taken control of your online social identity with DESO. Your followers and content are all valid across the multiple platforms built on the DESO blockchain including Diamondapp and @DeSocialWorld... along with all the other wonderful platforms that will be built in the future. There is zero friction in trying, transitioning and using different platforms within this ecosystem.

3, Many of you have never made a dime from voicing your opinions, sharing meaningful moments of your daily lives, or even actual content creation. The moment you receive your first diamond (tip) from fellow community members, you've made infinitely more than your entire time on traditional social media. Congrats, you're officially a content creator.

4, DESO is already tooled up with NFT and DeFi integration with @NFTz and @Openfund as well as the DESO Explorer for 20% APY $DESO staking. Integration of these toolsets is seemless across any platform on DESO that you decide to use.

5, You are officially free from the restrictions, predation and extraction of the ZuckerMusk Empire. You own your identity, you own your data, you own your content and you own your earnings here at DESO. Nobody can ever "shut down the server" and delete what you've created over the years... It's all here on the DESO Blockchain ledger saved for posterity.

There are so many innovative and disruptive features built into DESO and Focus that if given a chance, I guarantee will change your viewpoint of social media forever.

In the meanwhile, enjoy the community (many of us have been here since 2021), and feel free to ask any questions if you have them!
