Hey Michael, Thanks for the comments, they're helpful.
A lot of this boils down to having two (or more) 'sides' of self. One for general public, others for the rest; this is doable. Grudge-friendly and jackboot resistant, in ideal world, comes with the 'distributed' and 'secure+encrypted'. But sure, seems to have been lost in the implementation of at least one social network i can think of. As to the grandmother compatibility, at least to me, this is not absolutely essential at first.
