Do we have a 3 Body Problem?
Easy packaging hasn’t arrived yet on Nostr.
Could be a bundle of setup (onboarding) tools, moderation, infra (relays, file hosting & storage) etc. This becomes more pronounced with video content.
For the end-user, it should be as easy as making a centralised social media account. The difference might be in the payment model (no-ads (subscription) / ads).
If the composable service elements can be bought separately there could be even hosting companies offering these for more advanced uses and small-businesses but Wordpress.com type consumer offering is a more likely path.
An interesting idea, how to replicate the Mastodon instance in Nostr? The community would mainly interact within its instance (private relays) but with moderation could ”federate”.
”AT Protocol will be able to support other kinds of apps, and then users will be able to move between them with the same identity and relationships, and then that will just make it a lot easier for other people to build. And so that was part of our idea was just build an app, and then we get this positive feedback loop going of developers and users coming into the ecosystem.”
”Dataminr pays for privileged access to X through the company’s “firehose”: a direct, unfiltered feed of every single piece of user content ever shared publicly to the platform.
Watching everything that happens on X in real time is key to Dataminr’s pitch to the government. The company essentially leases indirect access to this massive spray of information, with Dataminr acting as an intermediary between X’s servers and a multitude of police, intelligence, and military agencies.”

”Personal data custody, or Personal Custody, means that the information (images, metadata and derived data) generated at the orb and used to generate the iris code during World ID verification is held on your device. This approach gives you control over the flow of this data—not just deletion, but any future use prior to being deleted.”

Mastodon users are the most active based on my posting responses.
10x less follwers than in X.
The rest are relatively inert, listed in descending order:
Nostr
X
Bluesky
Threads
Kicking third-party devs out of the API, blocking outbound links & seeing content without logging in seem to have consequences
That sounds a client issue (to filter them out)
TruthSocial seems to be compromised:
”allows attackers to create and overwrite any file Mastodon has access to, allowing Denial of Service and arbitrary Remote Code Execution”
”X’s revenue from in-app purchases last month was about $9.5 million, including for X subscriptions and payments to creators. ”
”Redis, the popular in-memory data store, is switching away from the open source three-clause BSD license…
Under this new license, cloud service providers hosting Redis will need to enter into a commercial agreement with Redis. The first company to do so is Microsoft.”
”Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the dark fleet of old vessels that lack proper insurance, have opaque ownership, and “flag hop” between different permissive ship registries has grown explosively, to an estimated 1,400 ships. Their presence poses considerable risk to other ships, to the environment, and to countries experiencing maritime accidents caused by the vessels.
In addition to serving the transportation needs of Russia (as well as Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela), the shadow fleet forms quintessential “gray zone” aggression, causing tangible harm that targeted countries can do little to punish. If countries do try to block dark ships from their waters, or escort them away, it could prompt retaliation and escalation by Russia.”
”Nadella’s novel twist is to hire the people and leave the company behind.
This week, Microsoft announced that it had recruited two of the three founders of Inflection…
following its $13bn investment in OpenAI and its more recent partnership with France’s Mistral, highlights the company’s intent to ally with ambitious AI start-ups and command the market. It had also been an early backer of Inflection.”
