Biden announced he is not running for president on Twitter, a centralized company, via an account for which it is understood he doesn’t control directly.

When thinking about the future, this feels like such archaic technology in the present. This is a world where the SEC account was compromised not that long ago and posted market-moving false information.

If a president has nuclear codes, he arguably should also have a signing key for any important communications.

In a similar vein, the idea that people are pasting nsec’s, unfettered access to their digital identity, into multiple clients is going to look archaic. If it’s not-your-keys not-your-coins, the same holds true for your identity. Everyone needs FROSTR

Agreed - it seems like “forcing blockchain into everything” at first, but you quickly realize the very real use case with how many impersonators there are on social media now adays. With how often official updates are announced on social media in today, it’s not hard to see how it could be a ...

This is a very good point. Plot twist: Biden didn’t drop out but was hacked.

Yeah, but what if his NSEC got compromised?

Well, think about it: most senators, congress men, and politicians are well into their sixties at minimum, many at seventies and eighties. I think there has not been such a generational difference between general population and politicians ever. A sign of decrepitude and dementia, which is very appr...

ideally nuclear codes become just as obsolete as centralized media

It's just me or 99% of the people is sleeping on this? or perhaps there's a 10% that have no idea that Nostr exists and would cheerfully join in. The future is bright ⚡️🫡

Imaging a future where world leaders have private keys for Nostr communication is wild. We'll see it. We just need to be patient.

wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t even tweet himself. Too risky for his team in his condition.

Literally could have been Elon going: sudo -POTUS send_tweet

It is still NOT on https://www.whitehouse.gov/ :-) .. at least I couldn't find at a glance ! It should be front and center !

What an excellent note

Would be cool if he comes back today saying he got hacked and is still standing. Troll a whole news cycle.

Ten hours later ... GM from Europe. The Whitehouse has a website! Which they still haven't updated. https://image.nostr.build/18bb7de60f0acd6d6dd920c8c99fdf0ae5201bdadf58eb816b6e22bbbabb97a1.jpg

I have better and more secure coms than potus?

If he doesn't control the account what makes you think he'd control a signing key?

The same message also went to Threads and Instagram and whatever other ungodly corporate advertising supported surveillance media the office uses though right? Wasn't like a Twitter Exclusive.

and yet you can't leave your engagement bait habits back on twitter

This is the last time a president gives control over his personal social media to his staff.

Twitter is like Miami and NOSTR is like Paititi or El Dorado
