They built it to be another Twitter.
That’s what I was thinking. Wasn’t that the point?
Nostr is ultimately the way forward and he knows it. Nobody controlling your identity other than yourself.
It seem many here are against it.
Them promoting crypto is fishy. I don’t like Nostr.
They only use Bitcoin (optional) which is getting highly regulated.
How is nostr promoting crypto?
Everyone on Masto/Fedi has been memeing about this since the start: Whatever platform Dorsey’s on becomes Twitter, lol.
At least Dorsey is thinking about social platforms, problems. Did you even read the post or simply spouting what your tribe says in your echo chamber?
I was elected to meme, not to read.
No shit sherlock
I feel like he doesn’t understand that he’s the common denominator here…?
Has he heard about Mastodon?
It would be funny if he started a Mastodon instance with whatever his values are. The reason he would never do that is because it’s not for profit.
Why would that matter?
'Cause we gotta keep the fediverse growing, that’s why.
Why?
So then he went back to Twitter? 😵💫
He’s mostly on nostr of all places…
A regular Nostr Dumbass
Jack Dorsey quits Bluesky board and urges users to stay on Elon Musk’s X
I thought it was meant to be the new twitter, by design… wut?
He means they are trying not to be the Nazi bar, and added an homeopathic amount of moderation to the platform.
it’s meant to be twitter by ui and feel, for sure.
i’d also say it’s meant to be more like twitter from a decade ago when twitter actually had a functioning moderation system and kept toxicity away. the moderation system, which is open sourced and allows anyone to add on to, is one of the best.
i’m subscribed to https://bsky.app/profile/aegis.blue, which blocks or hides antisemites, bigots, racists, transphobes, you name it.
Not at all.

Too bad most commenting haven’t read the interview (what else is new, eh?). I like this, Jack Dorsey responding to a question on how the US government had its hooks into Twitter’s leadership before the buyout:
I think it was problematic, and I also don’t think the people who got called out in the Twitter Files get enough credit for pushing back on government requests. The U.S. is certainly one of them. Twitter has a track record of fighting the U.S. on free speech causes, especially around transparency reports. Opening the lens even broader to other governments, we had even more fights. Tons of fights with India, Turkey, Russia, Nigeria. These are all governments that threatened arrest of our employees, raided our employees’ homes, offices, asking for phone numbers and personal information for accounts that were critical of the governments. I think that was one part that’s overlooked and not appreciated.
Two things can be true at the same time: that Twitter & Nostr have become Nazi bars and that the large US corporate social media platforms (Meta, X, Alphabet, Reddit, etc.) have become constituent parts of the US military-intelligence-industrial complex.
Twitter is merely a Nazi bar when what Jack wanted was a Turbo-Nazi bar.
jwz: Blockchain Rasputin over here is mad that moderation exists
It has been obvious to anyone paying attention that the reason Dorsey founded and funded Bluesky was with the end goal of enabling Twitter to go [Spider-Man Pointing dot GIF] any time an actual Nazi showed up, because moderation was not their problem, they just outsourced it to a series of nested shell companies (that they fund) who act as reputation laundries and liability crumple zones.
Now he pouts and says the quiet part out loud.
Well stop trying to make twitter then you fuckin idiot.
He was on the board, it’s not like it was his project or anything. Imo he wanted to create a protocol, not a platform. “Improve Activitypub” like they always claimed. But then Bluesky realized that they can simply build their own platform and be Twitter 2.0
He should just contribute to mastodon instead.
Its community based so his opinion could be ignored, unlike when he’s on a board and his opinion was ignored.
No. He wouldn’t be happy with ActivityPub as well. He imagines a social network where no one can perform any moderation. He favours Nostr for exactly that reason. Bluesky has got moderation (just like the Fediverse) - which he dislikes.
So? Like Usenet was back in the day before it became a pirate haven. Then email lists became it. LOL, People tend to ignore the extreme nut jobs regardless. I never saw any child porn on Usenet, but then I didn’t go looking for it. No doubt it existed too.
Moderation should always be client side. Server side should not be able to interfere or even read public content
Moderation should always be client side. Server side should not be able to interfere or even read public content
Yup. I don’t know if I agree re public content, but perhaps private messages should be encrypted, client side, before sending? That issue is one that bothers me about Mastodon.
@interdimensionalmeme There are different opinions about this. And luckily people can chose networks according to their specific opinions.
Lmao who would have guessed! Oh wait
Why not sell it to the next fascist for billions of dollars and make yourself rich again?
I’m on Bluesky and my view of it, at least, is absolutely nothing like Twitter. I’m glad he quit it before he could really turn it into another Nazi-infested hellhole.
