Today is a good day to relaunch what #Ross posted on Medium almost 4 years ago: a proposal for a new decentralized architecture for social media, a proposal that will appear quite familiar to all Nostr users. A truly remarkable document that could potentially serve as a roadmap for Nostr development.

Some of Ross's design goals have already been achieved by Nostr. Others still require further work. Some may not be well-received by the community or may be technically challenging to implement within the protocol.

I am skeptical about the role of advertisers being as central as Ross envisions. In his vision, advertisers are considered an essential pillar, alongside users, content servers, and interface providers.

Nonetheless, it’s something I recommend reading to everyone.
And the handmade diagrams are just so cute! <3

Come on, this is amateur hour level stuff that you've shared from Ross here. Looking to Ross for original thinking on tech is cult level delusion, when his 'celebrity' comes from a different domain

If I may boldly suggest, my product might fulfill the “advertiser” product side of the equation. GordonRocketCompany.com. We should base a Real-Coin on building the company. Need investors now to save WNC. https://m.primal.net/NrZM.jpg

As long as advertisers influence your monetization, you cannot have a truly open social platform. Twitter made that very clear.

I would agree having advertisers be a central pillar is not probably necessary nor ideal. At most it might be good to have a pre-established path/integration for advertising that is user respecting and has some sort of incentive to be good.
