It's kinda exciting. The social media status quo has its upsides but a lot of downsides. I'm hopeful that the change will be good. We'll have to figure out a way to authenticate the people we're talking to, which will encourage tighter-knit communities.

This will end with the only way to authenticate the people we're talking to is meeting them at the coffeeshop in the morning.

  That might be okay. We'd lose a lot, obviously, but if you could 100% trust that the person you met at a coffee shop is real, and you could 99% trust that the person they met the day before is real, and you could 98% trust the person that person met is real, you've got three degrees of Kevin Bacon.

    But can you trust that the things they say aren't just laundered AI blogspam?

      Well I trust that the things my friends say aren't laundered AI blogspam. And if they trust the things their friends say, I can likely trust that too.

  is anyone using keybase any more? i put it on my website and socials to do just that but it doesn’t seem to have stuck around.

    It's not really the right kind of authentication. A bot can use keybase too.
