Confined authority is bound to corrupt a human. Whether it's Elon or Satoshi. That's why community owned platforms are the safest.
Whether it be money or information.
That dogecoin logo was the final nail in the coffin. I don't see myself posting again on twitter. Elon could've helped millions by enabling them to shift to sound money, but he chose to pump a meme currency instead.

Based on what criteria are the followers arranged in the follower list on damus/amethyst?

You don't truly own it if it has counterparty risk.
In 2023 if you park a major chunk of your life savings in a bank, you're as guilty as the bank.
They are they relays that have stored your note
People who lose their money in casinos are not bailed out by anyone, so banks are worse than casinos
Yes, 3 of 6 have already received and stored your notes properly. This is based on relays that were set on Amethyst.
