I took a quick look at Bluecry page the other day. Looks interesting but the talk about reporting "abuse" intrigued me as I wonder how they handle it without centralizing.
I don’t think they do handle it in a decentralized manner. Would Dorsey and company do it differently than they did Twitter?
reply
Dorsey funded BlueSky, which was originally meant to be a protocol. Dorsey wanted to integrate the protocol into Twitter so that he could tell the gov speech censures that he couldn't censure anyone because of the technical implementation.
The founders of BlueSky took Dorseys money then "pivoted" and launched it as a centralized Twitter competitor.
Simultaneous to this, Dorsey discovered nostr and deleted his BlueSky account.

Yes, Dorsey did this with the protocol that he funded and provided to Bluesky, right?
That means it is distinctly Dorsey’s responsibility for letting the monster loose and not controlling it. Shame on Dorsey! I wonder if he will fall for this trick again.

Twitter was a public company as well and I was an early user before it went public. Going public was a big factor in many of the issues. Dorsey has been very vocal about the mistakes. I feel like he gets a bum rap for it and is doing penance with his work with Nostr.

I'm honestly not trying to white knight for Dorsey, he doesn't need my help. He's doing alright lol. Just get tired of this story getting missed. Much context is missing.
I've found over the years we to often focus on the men instead of the incentives. Incentive structures will almost always win and do what the incentives lead toward. Not to excuse man. But in my view man is weak and its just an easy whipping boy to point to the man instead of the system. You replace the man and you haven't solved the problem.

In Dorsey’s case both the man and the system were badly mistaken. Considering he was the man to set up the systems in both Twitter and Bluesky, you can observe the results in both cases and draw your own conclusions on what he is doing.

He didn’t get a bum rap, he is only trying to excuse himself from the consequences of his actions. They were his mistakes he’s is whining about, weren’t they? He did them himself.
So, is he keeping Nostr censor free? I am not familiar with it.

I would be leery of what he will build on Nostr, seeing the results of his work at both of the others.
Did he quit in exasperation? He let the jinn out of the bottle, didn’t he?
He left the censors in charge of it, right? It is still his doing.
