Nostr, a peer-to-peer based social network, which essentially maximizes the freedom and anticensorship that a network has, over convenience, usability and strong safety features. I think that there’s a niche for that, but those sorts of design trade-offs mean that it’s much harder to get people on such a network. For instance, you have to know how to download what is essentially a crypto wallet in order to create an account.
Classy answer from #JayGraber in Barrons re: jack. She’s not wrong re: what she says about nostr too.

“Q: Jack Dorsey recently left the Bluesky board. What is he focused on now?
A: I’m not sure what he’s focused on, but I do know that he’s always taken a portfolio approach to watching social media evolve. He has cross-posted across multiple social apps for a while, and supported Nostr, a peer-to-peer based social network, which essentially maximizes the freedom and anticensorship that a network has, over convenience, usability and strong safety features. I think that there’s a niche for that, but those sorts of design trade-offs mean that it’s much harder to get people on such a network. For instance, you have to know how to download what is essentially a crypto wallet in order to create an account. But yeah, Jack has left the board and we’re really grateful for him helping us get off the ground.”

Wow she clearly has never tried nostr if she thinks you need to download a “crypto wallet” in order to create an account. Wtf
Right!
Shitting something that you never experienced is easy. That’s why they will fail in the long run.
