I kinda agree Twitter was born of a more innocent age, and he was just a tech kid with a good enough pitch to get Silicon Valley VC. The problem is that he did little to rein in powers that were purposely using the platform for social manipulation. Then -- when he already knew better -- he went and started Bluesky, which he specifically said was going to counteract all of Twitter's deficiencies, but capitalism got the better of him, so to make the platform attractive to VCs, advertisers, whatever, his team started to ditch what made Bluesky unique in favor of business tools to help it make money. Business is gonna business, it's not 100% his fault, but I can't imagine what will change a 3rd time around.

Neither was Poland, but both were very much in the "2nd sphere", effectively under the control of the USSR. My family had close friends in Czechoslovakia who flat-out were not allowed to travel to the US to visit their family at the time, for example.
Geez, it's like you go and get absorbed into one ostensibly socialist authoritarian eurasian empire and it's all anyone can remember.
ah, gotcha. I thought maybe there'd been some spicy fediverse drama that I had missed :)

if only we had a word for applying math to data to give the appearance of a complex process we don't really understand.
is there a story here?

Ah, the trifecta.
Damn, @[email protected], how do you find the time to post to Lemmy 2647x a day and then write a succinct critique of Laissez-faire capitalism?
The thing that I think kills so many of us is that there is an extremely small but extremely powerful contingent who are actively working to make the world shittier, and they have been quite effective at getting a lot of people to work against their best interests and drive that enshitification.
Looking forward to another fun read!
Plus speedrunning the financial failure of the USPS will let them dismantle and privatize it

I think the main one is that Nostr is supposed to be really simple, and derive some security/privacy from that simplicity. Whereas ATProto and ActivityPub store and forward content so that each rely has a copy, on Nostr nodes the messages are all ephemeral. So it has something of a following with crypto bros and privacy enthusiasts. With nostr IDs are also based on public/private keys unlike ATProto/ActivityPub that use a username@instancename scheme, so signing and identifying content that belongs to a user is easier and more guaranteed to be correct.
