An interesting aspect of decentralised protocol design is how to avoid day-one community capture, meaning one relatively well-defined (but admittedly polarising or off-putting) community sets up shop early on, and in doing so kills off future growth.

Much of the focus to date has been on how to design the tech so as not to be exclusionary. But if the day-one community is exclusionary, then it doesn’t matter so much that the tech is not. You’re just trading one exclusionary vector (central ownership) for another (community capture).

The is a very hard challenge.

Calle himself is not super mutually consistent these days. First Cashu, then Bitchat, then this Claw stuff. Half-expecting bluetooth-powered Ugandan cashu mints that can solve for quantum gravity.

While I put the finishing touches on Horcrux I'm starting to contribute to Flotilla, and one of my goals is to get Discord-style voice channels added before their age-verification policies go into eff...

I'd advise against it, it's all about latency, discord voice is 90% for gaming, a world where 75ms latency is okay but 150ms is unacceptable. There's non gaming discussions, but a lot of them are just getting ready for a session, or post-session, you still need the session. Unless you put a big disclaimer do not attempt to use this for abcd, in conditions 1234, etc. I'd stay far away. Their voice chats, like those of Kick or Twitch, have over the years become just so insanely complex and latency optimised at every possible point.

Yeah it will be a challenge to compete. In particular in gaming latency in voice defeats the purpose of having voice Comms in the first place. You also need push-to-talk, voice activation for people with good mics, noise cancellation and - ideally - the ability to set the region for the voice serve...

Hm, yeah I'm not thinking of gamers specifically. But reading about Discord's tech makes it clear that it's very difficult to do well. I self-host a teamspeak server for my gaming friends and it works well enough. It would be nice to have better chat integrated in (like Discord) but other than that...

Hey, that might even take off for a minute... But then it would be inferior to Nostr, and as more nocoiners become bitcoiners, very much less attractive to them. Nostr may be slowed down by bitcoin ...

It's churn. The problem with getting more than 1% of bitcoiners using nostr is that a huge chunk of these potential users have already churned through nostr. The nostr churn rate is insanely high, for non-bitcoiners, but for bitcoiners too. A big chunk of the bitcoin community on X has given it a kick of the tires. Zooming out, hundreds of thousands of bitcoiners may have churned through already. So now you have to get them all back a second time, or a third time, it's almost impossible, usually you only get one shot with this, they don't come back for a second kick of the tires.
