I find it so funny that people critique the culture of each decentralized social media. Oh, all the Farcaster people are doing NFT scams, and... the Blue Sky people are...

LGBTQ... cancel culture... censors. And then the Nostr people, all they do is talk about Bitcoin.

And the Mastodon people are, like, Reddit mods that are neckbeards and love to just ban people for their own amusement. Like, these are these cultural archetypes being assigned to each social media... quote-unquote protocol.

But the thing about a truly socially scalable protocol is that it goes beyond genetic and social boundaries. It expands so far that the diversity of users becomes so... wide... that there isn't a single culture that you can assign it... with.

The technology underpinning... its capabilities in being able to perform... consistency... consistently... like the C in the CAP theorem... synchronize data, spread it across relays... spread it across users... and then making sure that data is available, the A in the CAP theorem... making sure servers can be easily discoverable… that's what... should be... considered when assessing these protocols, not the culture. Because if one scales, all the cultures should be sucked in.

It's not who's there right now, but... how many people can it handle? How many people can it handle?

Without running into these... bottlenecks... and vectors of control by the third parties. These are the things that matter.

It's the trust of third parties and how much control they have... over you. The culture is just a temporary thing.

There are so many different types of people using Bitcoin now. It was all nerds in the beginning, but... we have... different countries and institutions that compete against each other... all interested now.

That... is social scalability.
