#catallax — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Some "one year on Nostr" observations:

💜:
* Organic, ground-up community building: No "celebrity star-f**king", big drama around follower counts, etc... Just "hey this person seems interesting, I'll follow."
* Zaps. The ability to make money from social media without intermediaries is absolutely revolutionary.
* Really cool ideas around what to do with a decentralized, censorship-resistant social graph: Web(s) of trust, service marketplaces like #catallax, etc
* Interoperability with the only other truly open protocol #mastodon via the #momostr and (when it works) #mostr bridges
* Independent, timely news sources like @npub1f4uyypghstsd8l4sxng4ptwzk6awfm3mf9ux0yallfrgkm6mj6es50r407@momostr.pink -- still early days, but this model of journalism will become more and more important
* The memes are, to quote the vernacular, quite "dank"

🫤:
* The endless waves of hype over vibe-coding. Bit of irony here that the advocates of a decentralized platform should be so excited over AI systems that are centralized into 2-3 companies?
* Overton window is pretty far to the Right. Like, outright white supremacists with pretty big followings. But fortunately it's easy enough to mute and move on...
