Having fucked up social discourse with Twitter and then Bluesky, Jack Dorsey claims he has seen the error of his ways, and definitely won’t do it a third time with his new nonprofit aimed at helping developers build and deploy (OSS or commercial) social media tech built on the Nostr platform (with AI!). Yeesh, I might be biased. Maybe I shouldn’t be writing these summaries.

      There was Secure Scuttblebutt, but it had issues that hindered adoption.

      Nostr does actually seem like a more usable version of it, but the only people I’ve ever seen use it are cryptobros, so it’s got a kind of anti-network effect.

      Edit: Honestly a “SSB2” running over something like Veilid could be real nice, but it’s still early days.

      Nostr really isn’t about the platform, it’s about the simple, platform-agnostic keypair setup that identifies you.
