When you make an assumption based off nothing, it’s likely a projection. All I did was ask a question instead of blindly accepting a random stranger’s baseless opinion. Your opinion could be right but I’m asking for you to prove it.
Why would they coerce Jack to fund a decentralized protocol that they can’t control?
I feel as though I did answer your question in my statement above.
All you said was they want to harvest data but it’s an open protocol. What do you want him to do? If it’s a closed protocol you’ll accuse him of centralizing the content for data harvesting. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
All you heard was "harvest data"?😑 The collection of certain data is fine as long as it's not stored for extended periods of time on a private server. But they collect search history from users on Primal and we have no real clue what they do with it during that timeframe. Don't forget that they still have to make a profit for their VC masters. That comes first for them, regardless of what they may say. This also allows them to regulate trend lists and control narratives through an open-source platform. Actually, no. It's not a damned if you do, damned if you don't type of scenario. The devs at primal could just not collect and instead actively ask for feedback and not turn into a bunch of Sensitive Sallies whenever they hear a complaint or a critique🙄.
What the fuck does primal have to do with Jack?
LOL are you joking? He funded it from what people have told me.🤣
No he didn’t
Then who did? Because that's not what I've heard.
You know not everything goes on over here at nostr? I'm part of simplex groups with plenty of nostriches if you wish to continue this. Or we can start our own chat over there. I'm just tired of discussions like this being done only over socials. Socials are tiresome in general.
Moving the goalposts. You said Jack Dorsey funds primal. That’s not true. Going over to simplex doesn’t change that. You can hate him for whatever reason you want but you’re misinformed about a lot of things.
Not moving the goalposts. Just trying to not use socials medias as often. The reason why I brought up simplex is because I want to continue this discussion on there, if you're willing to do so.
Do you know who made a donation to simplex? 😂
So what? He made a donation. Big deal. You still haven't explained what I'm misinformed about.
I did but you’ve made up your mind that Jack Dorsey is evil so this conversation is pointless
I wasn't suggesting that he's evil. That's extreme. I was suggesting he's ambiguous with nostr-related matters. For example, I like what he's doing with the Proto-Rig but that has nothing to do with Nostr.
You suggested he’s creating a surveillance network which is evil
It’s a way to circumnavigate the cellular networks, but it poses a lot of security concerns of authenticity and I am cautious before engaging that way. Just my 2 sats, which ::echem:: is more than nostr:nprofile1qqsytuv4el7t3jtjfm7zfrc9q730ked40806he7dx5uctxqk8j4hvfcpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmny0vvl0f is willing to cough up.
No idea what you’re talking about
I muted jack cause his motives are misaligned. Always have been.
Misaligned with what?
With twitter he banned free speech (he apologized publicly), with Cash App they close accounts at will and force selling btc, with square they gauge free accounts. This is not a changed man, this is someone who is ahead of the curve and capitalizing on it. If he posts something all of nostr goes crazy. KOOL-AID.
He didn’t have a choice with Twitter
Listen to his viewpoint on it here:
Cash app, strike, swan, and all the others have to comply with KYC bullshit. Do you buy KYC sats? He’s not getting ahead of the curve, he’s doing the same thing as all other regulated exchanges.
No one has donated more to nostr development than Jack Dorsey and his donations are no strings attached. He has no say in what nostr devs do with that money.
It's sad that you just blindly believe everything he says.
Give me a good reason to doubt him instead of your feelings and misinfo
He limited freedom of speech and didn’t tell people that it was against his will. He closes accounts that try to take measures to preserve privacy. He charges more than most credit cards in fees for square. Goose collects data, bitchat collects data 👀 let me say that AGAIN, BITCHAT collects user data.
He doesn't want to listen, man🙄🤷. Don't waste your breath.
Maybe. But I think he listens to me sometimes. Probably cause I have gay memes I share with him
#ProofOfGay 😂
Me says things so I’ll reply with gay memes. #proofofgay 😂🤣
Why do you have so many gay memes anyway? Unrelated, how big is your closet?
They all have @mahdood for the header. But it’s bigger than my steam library 🤣
How many times a day do you think of Mahdood?
14/24 maybe 15
No, gay is an insult in this context
It’s an insult if it makes you feel uncomfortable. I only do it cause it makes gets under his skin. Other than that I could care less what meme.
The correct phrase is can’t care less. Saying you could care less implies that you care too much.
Love you nostr:nprofile1qqsytuv4el7t3jtjfm7zfrc9q730ked40806he7dx5uctxqk8j4hvfcpz4mhxue69uhks6tnwshxummnw3ezumrpdejqzxthwden5te0wdjkuerfwshxummnvekxzun99e3k7mgn7scnj
The gayest on nostr. The only one that could make satsmcd give up a trolling contest.
I'll believe it when I see it 🤭
The gayest on nostr. The only one that could make satsmcd give up a trolling contest.
And you assume that he could have publicly disclosed that?
He follows KYC laws. All regulated exchanges do that. All of them. They all do the same shit. Blame government for it.
Also bitchat doesn’t collect data. You and Luke are sharing false information.
If that is your source of truth you need to read up on privacy. They collect a lot of data.
Where is your source of truth? Where is your evidence that they collect data?
How many chats are happening in #9qw right now? If your number is greater than 0 they are collecting data. Same goes for chat text.
Idk what that is because I don’t use bitchat but all these claims are made with no evidence
Not safe. Use wisely
You can figure out a way to operate outside of it if you want. He didn’t choose that path. FOSS was secondary to vision.
But you haven’t proven any malicious intent. So you haven’t given a good reason to assume he’s evil.
If I stop you from saying what you want to say that’s not malicious? If I stop you from moving money as you wish that’s not malicious. Get with the fucking program. You’re brain dead.
