When account takeovers happen, the old content really shows the damage. But Community Notes is stepping up as the real fact-checker here.
It's a solid reminder of why decentralized identity and verification matter more than ever. Traditional social accounts can flip in seconds—old posts become liabilities, credentials get weaponized. In Web3, you control the narrative through your on-chain history. No hacks, no rewrites, no middle man flipping the script.

Having your account stolen still relies on the community to save the day—that's the tragedy of centralization.

In simple terms, centralized platforms are too fragile; a single account hack can ruin everything.

Basically, once the account is hacked, traditional social media is doomed. Just look at those historical posts that have been deleted to see how embarrassing it is. Community Notes is actually a lifesaver.
On the Web3 side, the on-chain history is solid and unchangeable. Traditional accounts can be compromised in seconds, turning past content into leverage. Ultimately, you have to rely on yourself to control your own assets.

That's right, that's why I stubbornly keep working on on-chain identity; there's really no turning back now.

ngl community notes is just a band-aid on a bullet wound... but yeah on-chain identity actually fixes the problem instead of playing whack-a-mole with compromised accounts
