The Gossip model is also on Coracle (and therefore Agora). Those also happen to be 3 PWAs that aren't at the mercy of app stores.
This is one of the fundamental problems of the
Fediverse/ActivityPub model, where your chosen instance is the
arbitrator of what you see.
In comparison,
even if the operator of a big Nostr relay bans/blocks an account, users
who follow that account can still see their stuff because they're
generally connected to multiple relays at the same time.
On
top of that, even if every relay in my list blocks an account I follow,
NIP-65 makes it so that my client will find which relays that account
posts to and pull in their content. Only I get to choose who is blocked
from my feed, not the relays.
There is a strong rumour going round that some Fediverse developers and admins have held secret discussions with Meta/Facebook under NDAs.
The Fediverse is supposed to be an alliance of open projects built by a broad grassroots base. Its developers are not supposed to hold secret backroom discussions with people who have a horrific track record (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-sue-facebook-myanmar-genocide-us-uk-legal-action-social-media-violence).
Facebook/Meta is in effect a sociopathic corporation (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/growth-at-any-cost-top-facebook-executive-defended-data). Nothing good will come of talking to them.

Rare to find NIMBYs like this in the wild, they’re usually huddled in town hall meetings shitting themselves over the idea of people doing things with their own property that they can’t control. https://t.co/BqHueVGLN8

Fun fact: the Arabic word for the orange fruit "burtuqan" (Egyptian Arabic)/burtuqala (standard Arabic) is literally the Arabic word for "Portugal"
This is b/c when the Moors colonized Iberia, they used Portugal as a cultivator of oranges and shipped them across Europe & the Middle East

nostr:npub12tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anq59vnqc fedi admins meeting with Meta under NDAs is shit, that's what it is.
It's effectively giving Meta power over fedi, by giving Meta power over what fedi admins can and cannot share with their communities.
Which admins went, do you know?

This is the issue with the "feudal lord" model that exists with Fediverse instances, and why the Nostr model of relays makes it more resilient to things like this.

Well fuck #reddit (https://tane.codes/tags/reddit) \- they have just undeleted posts I made years ago that I'd removed when I did a purge a couple of years back.
So Reddit didn't actually delete the data - also these videos are no longer on YT so the thumb is cached
They are so fucked #gdpr (https://tane.codes/tags/gdpr)
