I mean, what if “we” just stop using various social media platforms all together? I remember the days when various people never really shared their opinions and beliefs about most topics to the general public. Maybe we should get back to face to face conversations about life topics.

I totally get where Cory is coming from on this. He's been around long enough to have actually seen these things happen, from a perspective that's effectively unique. I believe him when he talks about this stuff. I get his point of not putting effort into building up a platform that can hold him and his audience hostage.
but here's the good part.
People bailing on Twitter to join Bluesky is reasonably easy (there are tools available to find your friends on the new system). If it's easy to bail on Twitter to join Bluesky, it will be similarly easy to bail on Bluesky to join Mastodon, if/when that becomes necessary.
It's not outside capital that leads to enshittification, it's leverage that enshittifies a service.
A VC that understands that they can force you to wreck your users' lives is always in danger of doing so. A VC who understands that doing this will make your service into an empty – and thus worthless – server is far less likely to do so (and if they do, at least your users can escape).
Incredibly clear article pointing out that no individuals will ever be able to resist enshittifaction pressures indefinitely.
The only way to prevent people with power from emiserating others is to structurally remove any benefit to doing so.
Last 16 years of my life have taught me (though I had read that stated before, just without such experimental confirmation) that even such obvious mechanisms humans don't understand.
I mean, if you show the world as consisting of negotiating groups exchanging value in different dimensions, it's pretty clear.
Power corrupts. No news there.
All hail NOSTR protocol 🫡
No good clients.
And no clear intended usage scenario. That's also why IPFS is not very popular.
It's very promising, but I find it confusing
Yeah it’s a new frontier but it’s cool
Meh
It's even less cost to switch it there's nothing to switch
That's why some people just create their own instances.
Yes, but I didn't, despite running several of my own servers it's extra time I get little return for
I don't even know what nostr relays I'm using
