> Why would I as a user prefer Twitter or prefer web3 decentralized microblogging?
I'm even going to ask "why do you need web3 for decentralized microblogging?"
What problem does this future tech solve that Mastodon does not currently solve? What is the current solution lacking and is easier to solve in a hypothetical web3 world?

The "use wallet for login" I contend has an even bigger problem than "reuse the same password" for the average person.
Losing a device with a wallet (e.g. phone) becomes an even bigger issue.
Wallet stealing scripts/malware would compromise even more of a person's identity.
Additional difficulties in being able to recover an account if a person loses access to their wallet (e.g. drive failure).
I believe that existing password management systems do a better job of this for the average person and it would be better to have people use those than trying to get everyone to have a crypto wallet.
That has the added advantage that password management systems work wherever there's a password rather than a mishmash of "this site uses this wallet" and some sites will never get to the point of using a wallet for account management (compare how many have a 'login with apple' even though that's been around for a while and is pushed by Big Tech).
