#fedeverse

I spent a few months exploring the +/- of revisiting Twitter post #TwitterExodus.

Why? The fact of the matter is I still have 10x the connections on that platform, many of whom have 100x what they can get on here. That sunk cost is felt daily on the #fedeverse.

The conclusion will be satisfying, however. It’s unequivically awful to be there. The tone is toxic, the ads are divisive and delusional.

I miss how easy it is to connect with people and I still don’t think it’s worth it. I’m all set.

#bluesky #socialmedia

Bluesky is relatively new but they managed to achieve over 5 million users since its start.

This is not to be underestimated.

In comparison, #mastodon is being used by about 15 million users to date. Not to speak about different #fedeverse services like #miskey and #sharkey where you can have a similar yet better user experience but with a lack of app support.

nostr - Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays

The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all.
It doesn't rely on any trusted central server, hence it is resilient; it is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, so it is tamperproof; it does not rely on P2P techniques, and therefore it works.
