This is what Dorsey and Musk discussed in private according to court documents[0].
<jack jack>: “I believe it must be an open source protocol, funded by a foundation of sorts that doesn’t own the protocol, only advances it. A bit like what Signal has done. It can’t have an advertising model.”

- rhn_mk1 4y agoWith Signal given as an example, I don't think your conclusion is right. Signal is famous for disallowing federation in the network they own. (I'm guessing that there's no provision for federation in the Signal protocol for that reason, either.)
- dane-pgp 4y agoSignal is equally (in)famous for using this lack of federation to then force advertising for its cryptocoin into all of its clients: https://www.osnews.com/story/133275/signal-embeds-shady-cryptocurrency-in-its-service/ https://www.osnews.com/story/133275/signal-embeds-shady-cryp...

- woojoo666 4y agoThough of course, Jack Dorsey doesn't want to build on an existing protocol (like activitypub) and instead is rolling out his own (https://atproto.com https://atproto.com)
- girvo 4y agoAs someone who talks to Simcom and other modems all day, calling it the “AT Protocol” leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Totally unimportant of course!
