An answer given truthfully. I have also given an answer to this several times, unfortunately the reactions are minimal. The boasting and whale language has the upper hand on the platform that claims to be focus. In three years we are just as far as when we were on Bitclout. Give your energy to the communities on @deso and leave big capital for what it is. Enjoy the little things in life and together we will make Deso great again, even if it takes years. It can be fun and that is what it is all about. @StevoNagy @SafetyNet @DeSocialWorld @MyDeSoSpace @WeAreAllDeso #post2earn

the biggest damage from the Focus is that users using it don't see the diamonds i gave them. because i use nodes that were built on DeSo before Focus. i often go into shadow mode, not posting or commenting, but tipping so creators feel supported. Focus took that opportunity away.
DeSo was built to be decentralized and social.
But with the launch of Focus, the social component has faded into the background. Money took center stage, and the community spirit that once defined DeSo has weakened. Many members have left — and some may never return.
Still, a few dedicated individuals continue to build, engage, and keep the social heart of DeSo beating.
If you're reading this, you're part of this community too.
This is your blockchain — and it's up to all of us to make DeSo great again!
Focus is just one of the applications, at the moment not delivering what was promissed.
