This article has a really wonderful list of questions that I bet lots of future & current users have:

Mental models of decentralization and networking in general

What data is stored where?
Where are the boundaries between apps, archives, mounts?

Agency & identity

Who else knows who I am? Can I be anonymous?
What happens when I lose my password?
Can I use multiple devices? Can I share a device with others?

Security & authentication

Who can see what, and for how long?
Why can’t certain data be deleted?
What happens if a device is lost?

Online status & synchronization & availability

Does this app require the Internet to work?
What does it mean to optionally use the Internet?
Will my content be available at all times? How reliable is this service?

Licensing & intellectual property

What does it mean to have other people’s data on my machine?

Governance & content moderation

Who has control over shared content and infrastructure?
How can I block someone?
Who can I call if I run into a problem?
