@cwebber with one of my big concerns about Bluesky:
"Part of the concern I have with Bluesky presently is thus that people are gaining the impression that it's a decentralized system in ways that it is not. There are multiple ways this could end up being a problem for the decentralized world; one irritating way is that people might believe there's an "easy decentralized way to do things" that Bluesky has discovered which isn't actually that at all"

@rwg for me: I donβt want to be #googled again, where they start with #donoevil, wind you into a myriad of useful but interconnected apps that you come to rely on, go public, become beholding to shareholders, reduce functionality, charge for things they promised would be free forever, have zero support, reenforce #echochambers, (I could list problems all day) and no easy way to get out.
Never again.

@blackburied You're not alone, as you probably know.

Take a look at Nostr, really decentralized, truly censorship resistant, no possibility to implement ads or to buy it since itβs an open protocol free and accessible to all

I think recommending Nostr to Christine is like recommending playing basketball to Lebron. She knows a thing or two about it already...

It wasnβt directed towards anyone in particular, my bad if misunderstanding, also I donβt know her, nor you, Iβm just doing my job as preaching the best network protocol
however, I do think that oneβs who knows how Nostr works wouldnβt stay on another social network

@chimera @cwebber There's more to social networking than the underlying protocol. There are also social elements, such as governance, moderation.
As someone who has written extensively about various alternative systems, encryption systems, I know of Nostr but have little interest in using it or promoting it.
