RE: Twitter to X. What Have I Learned from This?

in LeoFinance10 months ago

I don't know if there is a decentralized enough Twitter alternative that will garner traction.

BlueSky and Nostr have Jack Dorsey behind (funded Nostr) and are advertised as decentralized, but I believe he has control.

LeoThreads puts content on Hive, which is decentralized enough, but the front-end and middle-end are controlled by the Leofinance team. But if another interface is capable of reading and interacting with LeoThreads (this is where Ecency may have made some progress), then centralization is avoided on this end too.

Decentralized Twitter alternatives are likely to be slow and not garner enough traction. That's why even those considered decentralized have elements of centralization that make them faster. The question is how much that affects account ownership and censorship resistance. I wouldn't trust anything that Jack Dorsey proposes as decentralized, knowing how much censor was on Twitter during his reign.

Thanks for your though response much appreciated. As I am on a mission how about you follow me if Hive growth resonates with you.

It's unfortunate that you've taken this route on Hive, in my opinion. I checked out your latest content. You probably won't succeed this way... Good luck though!

Not very encouraging to hear your opinion. And you may actually be right that I will not succeed. In my opinion it will have more to do with the behaviour of wishing luck, but then being stingy with a follow, which would result in you even being able to follow if I do or not. Could be regarded as someone doesn't even care whether HIVE will have new records.

It's not about the records, it's about the way you approach the problem. I believe others already tried to give you some advice that aggressive Web2 techniques may not work on Hive. Maybe it will work for some, but it isn't convincing enough for me to follow.
