Dorsey went back to Xitter!

Why would he do that 🤦

sorry, ignore my previous comment. This too! I need to read a little on this now. Apparently i missed that move

This tool was designed such that it had, you know, it was a base level protocol. It had a reference app on top. It was designed to be controlled by the people. I think the greatest idea — which we need — is an algorithm store, where you choose how you see all the conversations. But little by little, they started asking Jay and the team for moderation tools, and to kick people off. And unfortunately they followed through with it.

That was the second moment I thought, uh, nope. This is literally repeating all the mistakes we made as a company. This is not a protocol that’s truly decentralized. It’s another app. It’s another app that’s just kind of following in Twitter’s footsteps, but for a different part of the population.

Everything we wanted around decentralization, everything we wanted in terms of an open source protocol, suddenly became a company with VCs and a board. That’s not what I wanted, that’s not what I intended to help create.

Around the same time, I found Nostr. We don’t know who the leader is, it’s like this anonymous Brazilian. It has no board, no company behind it, no funding. It’s a truly open protocol. The development environment is moving fast. And I gave a bunch of money to them.

Day by day, I learned that this was actually the path. It emerged from something that was not Twitter-driven, it was a reaction to Twitter’s failures, and I thought that was right as well. That’s what I should help, and that’s what I should support.

So I just decided to delete my account on Bluesky, and really focus on Nostr, and funding that to the best of my ability. I asked to get off the board as well, because I just don’t think a protocol needs a board or wants a board. And if it has a board, that’s not the thing that I wanted to help build or wanted to help fund.

this sounds alright, no?

they’re not creating “another one”. Dorsey is already made and he seems to be immune to whatever is working elon’s intestines.

ps i don’t care a bit about Dorsey either. I just see a difference.

The backdoors they use are there for freedom and justice, the backdoors the “others” use are tools of evil and security risks!

did you forget to add “/s” or do you really believe what you wrote?

you’re hallucinating extra letters

don’t worry, robots will never cost less than construction workers

your comment doesn’t sound tolerant either.

Even if I disagree with views of some people, i would rather prefer them to be on platforms where their communications aren’t treated as commodity. So, yes, i would prefer everybody to be on fediverse.

people who live in Germany would have a better idea about the reasons but maybe AFD see Elmo as one of their own?

i do.

Their just getting of xitter is not enough for me. Is Threads, for example, an acceptable alternative?

no shit, Sherlock

if you’re comparing note apps and don’t want to try them all one by one like i did, somebody apparently tried them all and wrote reviews ☞https://www.noteapps.ca

• amount of backups to keep

also is a nice addition but i like the fact that notally is just 1.9mb. So i keep using notally and delete a dozen backups from time to time :/

🤔

• sharing - this one is key. I use a shared shopping list and we both need to add and edit.

i use and love notally but you can’t share/sync (export/import wouldn’t satisfy the above requirement)

they could have just demanded alcoholic beverage companies to monitor their bottles, right?

it’s illegal to sell alcohol to kids, right? Would you consider that too as “banning kids from accessing them”?

even “crash course” alone is enough of a reason to keep YouTube accessible
