There are such niches to take with open protocol, distributed and lightning integration

Yes. It must be aimed first at solving the money problem. Using it to combat propaganda now is not the battle. It needs traction first and there are plenty of money problems to be solved and traders waiting #civkit

I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Twitter (X) isn’t exactly a technological wonder when it comes to software design. They actually got it easy when it comes to the underlying infrastructure, with it being centralized. It’s much more difficult to make a client work well with an open protocol...

Having for example, followers/following so prominently in a user’s profile, is just a copy of the corporate social media. The following/followers feature is basically a social credit system.

What makes it stand out for me is that (using amethyst) I have tabs that emulate telegram, instagram, twitter, twitch, spotify etc all in one app seamlessly and then I have access to countless other experiences with one identity and community that move across all of them. It is something special.
