Replying to Avatar jack

We funded it as Twitter. It’s not my app, or ideally anyone’s. It’s a small team building a protocol. The current app is a proof of concept and reference for what can be built. The public benefit LLC has a board, which I’m on. It’s the main thrust building the protocol.

A different development model than nostr, which is much more decentralized and bottoms up. There will be a lot more bottoms up on Bluesky as more developers use the various APIs, but started completely differently. I think it’s generally good to explore different models.

I like the transparency and details behind the thought...

Maximizing decentralization and upholding as many cypherpunk ideals as possible is so* crucial for the world RN IMO... esp on the back end of so much web 2.0 control and centralization.

Nostr gets this right - minimal points of control and power concentration.

Agree in principle. There are tradeoffs of course.

i suppose we need to clarify what everyone means when they say "decentralisation". because: it doesn't mean the same thing across the programmer board, nor does it offer the healthiest use-case/mobility for individuals when it comes to actual usability of social media. if someone is accessing the blockchain through social media, it's necessary to have some sort of ease of navigation. the more scattered individual use, the more it entices predatory data mining by profiteers who see an opportunity is stuck users on non-linked or limited mobility platforms.
