I'm not a fan of Elon Musk, but why would we celebrate Jack Dorsey rebuilding the same flawed system that went too far towards censorship in the name of "misinformation"?

- Pxtl 3y agoBecause Jack Dorsey may have funded BlueSky, but he's not involved in running it, he's instead focused on Nostr, the web3 answer to the problem. And as for "misinformation" vs "censorship", I think Fox News just demonstrated over $700 million reasons to care about misinformation.

- carlivar 3y agoI'm fine with the courts deciding what is misinformation. That's a huge improvement.
- capableweb 3y agoNot to say if it's the best or worst, but considering his experience of running a platform he himself say failed at what he wanted it to do, wouldn't he be a good person to have on your side in order to stay clear of making the same mistakes? He openly say he fucked up with Twitter, and his involvement as funder of both Bluesky and Nostr is him trying to correct his mistakes with new platforms that cannot be abused in the same manner.
