"not at the moment" ?

Maybe you never build on top of a social network and then lost all that effort when it went to shit?

We the people need to be empowered.
No more overlords to monetize our activities.

Bluesky is a step backwards.
They give you candies, but sugar is bad.

Nostr is a step forward.
Peer to peer would bring us even further...
Still, mastodon is great and at least somwhat properly federated 🙂

@mekkaokereke @dveditz @bbmin7b5 @root @james

I am making statements about bluesky.
You are making statements about me.

biases, preconceived notions ...and argue about superiority and inferiority.

If you like hiking, you might prefer a national park over a crowded city... so in the context of hiking, hikers might say cities are inferior to crowded cities.

People have other reasons for choosing cities.

I said stuff about bluesky, not people.

@mekkaokereke @dveditz @bbmin7b5 @root @james

Not what i said.
Bluesky is bad.
Bluesky users who are into people controlling their own data and means of communication with each other probably are just victims of bluesky influencer marketing or they might actually not care - hard to say - they would know best.

But everyone who does care should definitely avoid bluesky.

Mastodon isnt perfect - i'm not even a big fan, but it is more decentralized.
#nostr would be even better.

@mekkaokereke @dveditz @bbmin7b5 @root @james

I'm just sharin my opinion/observation.

I'm open to hear how you would approach improving the situation?

I can only see the most progressive discussing to figure out whats best or better, then adopting it and spreading the word.

@bbmin7b5 @root @mekkaokereke @james

google has more money and marketing budget so we wen from an email world to a gmail world.

of course, bluesky has more marketing budget and money, but if that is the argument, why not threads or facebook or twitter/X ???

Imho we should educate folks and for the long run.

@dveditz @bbmin7b5 @root @mekkaokereke @james

fair enough.

now the thing is, many people are ...something

naive?broken?privileged?... you name it.

The "mainstream" loves "pop music" even though the industry is abusive and all the people supporting it without knowing.
You could say the same about capitalism.

Now the thing is, at least those who learn more should lead by good example to be connected to their peers in better ways and keep doors open for others to join.

@dveditz @bbmin7b5 @root @mekkaokereke @james

it's always the early adopters who see a vision who do it first and when everyone that made the old/previous place worth being there has left to the new place, those same uninspired that only go anywhere when it's FUN ...will follow, because they then recognize the FUN is in the new place.

People who only operate on the level of "fun" will definitely not ever be early adopters - they just dont understand much what things are about in this context

@mcc @dansup

To be honest, bluesky os the worst.
1. nobody expects anything from X and we all know its shit
2. nobody expects much from threads. its facebook
3. same goes for all social networks

They are not fediverse or p2p

Nut bluesky pretends to be decentralized future, while it is just the same old crap we wanted to escape by joining mastodon and other decentralized alternatices.

Even nostr is better imho.

@vegafjord @aral

ethereum scamcoins?
proof of stake is literally plutocracy.
prof of stake means everyone who is already rich gets freshly printed money.

distribution is concentrated and core folks ate firk believer in Futacracy, including Vitalik Buterin who said this is his religion.

Countless people were and are still being scammed.

It is a shadow government authoritarian structure with large companies like microsoft and investors like peter thiel in their core.

Consensys is a core org

@vegafjord @aral ...and working actively towards a network state.

it creates scammers on all fronts.

you spit on bitcoin, but distribution is much better. energy prices empower mainly leveraging more solar ...and payments are cheaper and scale better with lightning.

also - it does not include a money printer for the rich.

@vegafjord @aral

oh btw.
you were really spitting on ethereum during your live presentation during wizardamigos in the past. i think you had strong points back then. what made you change your mind?

how much money did they offer?

@narF
1. cqpitalism = markets with moneyprinters

=> stop all money printers

2. end capitalism means means of production owned by people, by all, by workers...

=> end all employment. employment means you dont own means of production.

So whatever ends capitalism needs:
1. no emplomeny
2. no money printers

that constrains the search for options.
it means also we have to get a lot more collaborative, pay each other, higher each other, have networks of self employed. pool resources, etc...

Today I stumbled upon a very intersting (but also lengthy) blog post discussing currencies (crypto and fiat).

Thought provoking.
I definitely recommend reading it.
If anyone has any opinions on what is being said I'd be interested to hear them.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of the article, but points out a lot of interesting things which might be very relevant now that trump was elected.

@powersource

I agree that this is a rather funny comparison.

The main idea for it - i assume - is that there is no central issuer, it is decentralized and limited in supply. That has never been achieved in history, even if you wanted, nobody could create such a mechanism.

I think it could end capitalism

@powersource

hm.
you said number zero, fire, etc... meaning some sort of "fundamental thingy".

All rulwrs and opressors throughout history has money printers and called it capitalism or whatever.

i love p2p and permissionless world, open source and no access restrictions.

i dont think it doesnt just end with permissionless sharing data, but pwrmissionlessly live in all its aspect.

no gatekeepers. no intermediaries.
anarchism and community.

no billionaires ruling over us

@powersource

bitcoins main proposition is to make currency open source with fixed supply of at most 21 million.

making everyone equal. no more money print8ng for VCs and the billionaires

@zens

that is why the only answer is peer to peer.

https://docs.pears.com

if you know nodejs, all it takes is

`npx pear run pear://runtime` to get started.

no servers. no cloud.
this is the only way out of the mess

@nblr @mhoye @mntmn
and also, we will all suffer the consequences for decades to come. yay 🫠

@nblr @mhoye @mntmn

great, but that can always be said about every working system i guess.

i would argue trchnical debt is killing us on all fronts. ...it's how oil and coal were holdomg things together for so long and even old timers still work ... yay
