For someone invested in decentralized protocols, it just sounds like people trying to reinvent the wheel. "let’s make it decentralized" "wow, very cool idea". Those guys are business guys but they have no idea what they are talking about. They don’t know the first bit about technical decentralization, about prior art, about the politics involved. They are so close of realizing that their companies are Frankenstein mo…

It's called the Media business model where we get the user to trade privacy for features and earn revenue on abusing privacy. Given Apple's moves in the iOS app space and the way young people talk and behave; the next social media platform will be a low paid app that has full privacy and is non-ad revenue based and is centralized. It will be some company that is super transparent but at the same time has figured out…

The chat thread looked so farcical that I had to double check it wasn't a parody account. Is it possible the text has been edited? It just looks too scripted, especially since Jack Dorsey had shared his thoughts regarding Twitter being intended as a protocol publicly.

Completely agree, none of the facts align with what they are saying. I mean imagine having billions of dollars in your pocket and pretending you can’t start a protocol that looks like mastodon or xmpp… These guys know their records are going to be subpoenaed.

I have to admit this is a bit surprising from Musk. I was pretty firmly of the theory that his real motive re Twitter was basically narcissism, and I'm still not sure that's wrong. I note he's not agreeing strongly with Dorsey, with the strongest phrase being "I'd like to help if I can". And I still think he would be better off using any money he might have spent buying Twitter on funding a handful of open source com…

Does anyone else find this conversation awkward / cringe worthy? "Hey genius billionaire, what's up?" "Oh hey other genius billionaire..." "Let's do some shit because you know, the morons on the board didn't get it, I just didn't get my way so I left to do bitcoinz", "Off to dinner, later bro, let's solve all the problems tomorrow"... "Cool bro, I'll try buy the company and forfeit at the last minute when I realize I…
