There's also something called Lemmy that is supposed to be a decentralized Reddit on the Fediverse. I have not used either of them (Reddit or Lemmy), so I do not know how well it fills the need.
I'm also sure someone will figure out a Nostr based Reddit clone soon.
Did you get to try Session yet? It might also provide some competition for Signal.
In case you haven't seen it, https://fiatjaf.com/ab1127fb.html has inspired some discussion about #Bluesky and #ATProtocol both on #Nostr and in the #Fediverse.
Yes. Right after the incident and the Twitter suspension.
The elonjet tracker posts those locations after a delay of a few hours. If someone wanted to use its posts to hunt him down, they'd always be behind the curve. At least that's what their Twitter account does.
As a few others have already mentioned, the plane's flight information is public. If someone was really interested in stalking him, they can see near-real-time information on one of those plane tracker sites.
Anyway, that's not really a Nostr issue, as the exact same info gets posted to Twitter and the Fediverse.
I'm sure there will be at least one bridge between AT protocol (Bluesky) and Nostr, just like there's one between the Fediverse and Nostr.
I'm of the opinion that Nostr can "succeed" (whatever that means) even if Bluesky and the Fediverse also succeed. There's still lots to figure out about decentralized networks, and we can learn from each other while we also learn to kick the centralized corporate networks' donkeys.
Now that you're aware of this, you can work to find ways to speed up your decisions in time-sensitive situations.
It is indeed good. I'm wondering how much is due to hype and how much is people who intend to ride this into the future.
I'm definitely not a libertarian (in either 'small L' or 'large L' sense of the word), but I think you're seeing the impact of all our news sources being captured by extremists and of the efforts of various national governments to control the narrative.
Just as an example, I see people in the US and UK saying that "we could house all the homeless if we had as much money as we've sent to Ukraine". Most of them are the same people who oppose spending money on programs that help re-house homeless people, so they're making that argument because it is convenient, not because they'd ever support doing it.
Facebook's current business model relies upon centralization and data collection. I would not trust any Facebook "app", even if it claims to be decentralized and encrypted and private.
> Right. Stablecoins are only as good as the underlying assets. If those assets go away, like they just did 😂 then this is the result.
Their assets were in Silicon Valley Bank? I've barely read anything about SVB's failure, but I did see that most of its deposits were not covered by FDIC deposit insurance.
I heard everyone all the way through. I suspect it was probably network issues at some participants' locations. I don't think it was a problem at the server end at all.
That behavior is shamed on the Fediverse also, including most Mastodon instances.
