https://rossulbricht.medium.com/decentralize-social-media-cc47dcfd4f99
I'll be mirroring my X account here and hopefully finding some good conversations.
Damn, the legend himself is here? All I want is a YouTube channel with prison stories and you know... generally totally legal stuff about technology, privacy, crypto, etc.
Never understood why people are happy when governments or big companies buy #Bitcoin. You can see a tiny bump on the price from the media hype but in the long run? Just think about it... Simply less $BTC for the people.
Yeah, the crypto world is always stable. I choose cash over crypto and been in the game for more than a decade.
How many people you think will do all that when they are bored to even install a VPN? For the average user there's no such thing as privacy.

For some reason I think that centralized power has been part of human civilization since the beginning and will continue to be for ever. There can never be TRUE DECENTRALIZATION.🫤
You rich? I love my rich friends. But that sudden drop in the end doesn't look a little suspicious. No pump and dump of course 🤔.
I’ve been sitting on it for a month, but this conversation with nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet59uqzqun2rcnpe3j8ge6ws2z789gm8wcnn056wu734n6fmjrgmwrp58q3aus5zj is more relevant now than ever!

As vibe coding enables the creation of orders of magnitude more apps and media, the question becomes: how do I sort through this embarrassment of riches to find what I actually need? One option is to trust centralized entities like companies or governments. Franzap, however, has another idea. Using Nostr’s global identity, data commons, and micropayments, he’s designing a new kind of app store powered by a decentralized web of trust. I hope you enjoy! Here are a few topics we discuss:
- Fran’s vision for an open, permissionless alternative to Apple and Android app stores
- How Zapstore could help fund open source development
- Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) have limited path to adoption
- Is it time to build an App Store for AI agents to use?! An open MCP registry could be a good starting point
- IA (Intelligence Amplification) vs. AI (Artificial Intelligence)
- The future of AI and app development
- Why a decentralized Web of Trust matters in sorting information, apps, accounts and anything else
- How to build and use a decentralized Web of Trust
Do you really think something like that could work? Decentralized you say. So no human intervention. So it becomes full of malicious apps, gore, violence, etc. Who will check if the apps are safe or remove that app from ISIS or whatever recruiting and showing beheadings of unbelievers?
Are those volcanoes pumping Bitcoin yet so that the few who will use it are forced to use the government issued wallet? I give him credit for that huge prison though and dealing with MS-13 and 18th street.
"Sober curiosity" movement...
Who comes up with these terms? And I haven't seen such movement or ever heard anything about it. Just pushing the agenda.
Remember your self at 15 or 18 or something and someone told you do you want to join the sober curiosity movement? I don't know about you, but where I come from people would say GTFO or I'll show you the... Movement.
So these people have been all their life stoned and one day said hey, let me try to experience how normal people feel and behave.
Or just another fashion style to show how cool and different they are. I have sober friends. Their thing is not alcohol drugs but hooliganism, fighting other neighborhoods, or throw refrigerators to the police from the 6th floor. Anyway, just remember that the Mafia started just because there was a sober movement. And the ultimate question for me is if a government has the right to tell someone what he/she can put in their bodies. A journalist asked a Police officer how is going the War on Drugs. We lost the war since the first day he said.
Can they? Really? Think about it. Or name one.
What about me? I'm sure it was at least 400. Oh and as I have said before, imagine the average user reading your comment. I bet you $100 he/she/it/etc/etc/etc will leave in a minute. Don't understand why teams make the platforms more complicated instead of more simple. Not to mention not fixing a bug like this. Following another user is considered a basic feature.
Believe me, don't even remember why I wrote all that. But it happens. Sometimes I meet someone I like and will say a couple of things about me. But this was too ...long. Using any other similar platforms? Like the big ones, Steemit, Hive, Publish0x etc?
What kind of suspicious answer is that? Are you a member of the Illuminati or just use drugs.
I can help you selling you my course written by Chatgpt about leaving the Illuminati and quit chemical agents that look like innocent powder.
Here's a poem my cat just wrote to make you feel better:
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the Dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head
I guess I'm too wild and a bit crazy for the normal people. Also I didn't use Nostr often. I'm a member on around 100 decentralized social media platforms and depending on different factors I could disappear for months or like a lot just a couple of them and post my serious stuff there. Although eventually people start to understand the logic behind the madness and that the madness is used in specific ways to make a statement. Until now I have been involved in the closure, price. collapse, exposing my bosses on a dozen platforms. Always with Blockchain proof. Hidden wallets, under the table transactions for marketing or BS exchanges, non existent teams or offices, you name it. And people usually appreciate the fact that in some cases I was a moderator and could make a deal and make some money just to keep my mouth shut. And yet here I was trashing my boss in public. And some of them tried to get smart with me, I said if you want war, challenge accepted and would tell them that I used to work as a Search engine optimization specialist and what I could do with Black hat SEO. Imagine if every morning your social media contacts would get dick picks from your account, your home phone ringing every 10 minutes, posting on Facebook how much you hated your boss or have sex with your sister. And all that wouldn't even come from me but from a Russian selling me the cheap $50 package. Now imagine what I can do to you with $500 I would tell them. Black hat SEO is brutal, destroys lives and careers. All you have to do is give back the money to the users who supported you all this time and believed in the project. And they were usually terrified. Anyway, I think I said too much. Although I think I will go elsewhere, don't see any movement here. Or perhaps continue to be absent because my life is a Chaos right now. Thought writing what I experience every day at one point but thought people wouldn't believe the crazy stories and I would write long posts and earn a few pennies. Not to mention that some things shouldn't be public even offline. A woman from UK that I used to talk thought I was dead because I didn't use Telegram or anything else for a year because I lost my phone, ID, bank papers and had to run during the COVID-19 pandemic to get new ones while at the same time had to do other shit. Anyway I explained to her and yet she replied to me after 6 months. And that was it. And then I disappeared again and I see a message that she's losing her hair from the stress and can't stand all the drama in my life. That was the reason I insisted not telling you anything when you asked how was my day and you would say that you were fine I said. Anyway wrote to her yesterday just to see how she is .
The irony is that I also talked with a woman from US and she's the opposite. Been through shit, and I mean hardcore shit and yet would write me on Discord to see how I was doing. If she didn't get an answer would write again after a couple of months. Yesterday saw that I had missed 3 of her messages. Anyway I thanked her for the patience with me. (For some reason lately I became friends with 3 old women and for some reason they understood me better than the tough guys here, or users who know me for years. Stopping here because I wrote a fuckin novel.😄
Was ready to hit post and send you a photo of the first post but got a thing with privacy when my cat was with the Anonymous 😼 and I'm not familiar with this platform, don't know if I could delete it later etc.
Anyway, the fact that I shared this stuff with you the first day that I talked to you, although vague, means something. I don't trust people anymore. It's friends who betray you, not the enemy says Greene in his book, 48 rules for power.

And yet if you see the number of Likes, comments and reposts it's minimal. What do you think is the reason?

The majority of users who sign up, never came back. It's too complicated for them. Then you have the founders of the endless frontends attacking each other and behaving like those stupid trolls and keyboard warriors that if you see them in real life start running. Just check the posts Vitor Pamplona against Primal app
Also take a look at the average traffic and how low the number of DAU is.
Because when it comes to investors, ads, money, marketing etc., the number of Daily Active Users is what matters.
Bounce rate? 100%. People visit a single page and leave usually after 19 seconds on average.
Imagine if all these united their forces.
But never gonna happen because everyone wants his little kingdom and that illusion of "decentralization" would be lost of course. That's why the average user prefers Facebook and Twitter instead of having to read countless details for every site or app and ever-changing features and of course never earning that crypto that they were promised that would get paid for their content. I just discovered that hashtags are different here and I already forgot how should I write them. Anyway, just a few thoughts that the "to the moon" crowd will not even read. But I always do things wrong says my cat and spent 20 minutes or something writing this.

Remember one thing, people want simple stuff. When the average user will see something like this, he'll say yeah okay, you expect me to go and read FAQ, Support, articles and tutorials in order to perform a simple action. Don't they know that we , the cool new generation have zero attention span? Going back to Instagram.
