The (main) criticism of the Mastodon model is that your identity is still centralized. The federated model is fine, but the whole thing still depends on domain names which can be seized. And this issue is not just about moderation. Let's say that you have been a model citizen on a server, but one of the moderators woke up in a bad mood, found something they don't like about you and kicks you out. Now you are locked out of your account and can not even migrate it away. FYI: not an hypothetical, this happened with some of my friends who were working with crypto. > the biggest problem with big tech is that they're just haphazardly censoring ideas they don't like To me, the problem is that they are too big, plain and simple. Too big, too powerful and too far removed from their actual customers to even care about the individual customer or anything that slightly deviates from the norm. I don't like them much like I don't like the EU-style of bureaucratic government. What (I hope) nostr is trying to build is something where the centralization is outright impossible first, then come out with the mechanisms to tackle content curation/moderation.
