The entire app could be a snap to set up

I refuse to use snaps

I don’t even know the point is stories. Why not post… A picture or video directly?

Chinese bots resting

Then use a key you never used before to encrypt it

How is that worse? You can always prove that you are the same person by encrypting a message with the same key. There is no way for me to prove whether my Instagram account is really me

I think tipping people for posts is really cool, though. They had a doge tip bot on reddit, but it didn’t actually integrate with the network, so apparently when it shut down the owner of the bot just stole everyone’s tips

The website gives 403 when accessed from China

Reddit blocks VPNs unless you’re already logged on

So you’re saying we should use Nostr

There are non-crypto posts on Nostr

Nostr doesn’t use a blockchain

Correct, it’s decentralized. I don’t even care about my Nostr relays. I am well aware of my home server, especially when it starts returning some kind of errors

Bruh, I’ve been tracking it for years and the fediverse was dead before the Reddit exodus. Now I can have discussions about fantasy football without going on Reddit or X

I literally got some errors yesterday, something was up with it

I get downvoted in every political discussion here. But at least nobody banned me yet. On reddit they banned me from the subreddits that are supposed to represent my views!

You don’t need to convince everyone to switch. You need to convince some people go join and build the user base.

Once there are users, more people will join. Even if people are not active, if they have an account it’s easier to convince someone to add you.

Think of it as a long term goal.

It will unshare the thing in the UI only, which is enough for regular people. Again, once you share it, it’s out there

You realize you can download it forever at any point, right? Your threat model should be “anyone you share things to has saved them forever”

Once you give up trying to unshare things, then encrypted group chats make a lot of sense.

Once you share a file with someone, they already have it. There’s no point in trying to make them unable to view it after the fact.
