"In search of a digital town square" by Pete Zeldman

Nice! IFB = infantile fascist billionaire

Nostr is not mentioned here. I suspect Mr Zeldman isn't aware of the existence of the Nostr network (yet). So let me just ask it: https://nwb.social/@zeldman@front-end.social/111971087334219048

"If BlueSky is MacOS and Threads is Windows, Mastodon is Linux: a great choice for techies, but likely too steep a hill for Ma and Pa Normie."

Where would we scale Nostr compared to this? It's (still) very geeky as wel.

If Mastodon is Linux, Nostr is the Internet.

"...the price tag of mass acceptance is ease of setup"

lol, mastodon is so old it's pathetic, and there's nothing really new about bluesky or threads, so #nostr is really teh only one in the game

but neither side of the political divide is gonna like it, same as #bitcoin and #lightning

Nostr’s the only one I’m still on

despite it's problems, it is the only one that doesn't have an organised, malicious corporate entity behind it, just like bitcoin, just like lightning...

corporate registration = in league with the devil (the cult of government)

and that includes btw IETF, Mozilla Foundation, or any other NGO you care to name

oh i include HRF in that list of villains as well... they are deeply tied up with the spook backed puppet in moscow, Snowden who is just a pimp for mostly israeli spook crypto tech, idgaf what anyone thinks, just follow the money... and assange, his ties to the trump family are really obvious to anyone who has seen a pic of trump's uncle who presided over the confiscation of Tesla's work

trust no-one, no-one won't betray you
