During SMC 2025, we explored the themes of decentralized social networks and publishing. I was impressed by Bluesky’s growing presence in the U.S. academic space, but Nostr and @YakiHonne are also set to become official communication platforms for SMC 2026.

truly grateful to the Yaki team and all supporters.🫡

Just finished some hand copying. So calming.

Love @YakiHonne upcoming feature: sharing notes directly with friends. Lots of cool stuff ahead!😉

Thinking about the scalability of decentralized social networks from three perspectives:
1. Identity — balancing user-friendliness and censorship resistance
2. Data storage — balancing unstoppable availability with fast loading speed
3. Better search and discovery

Optimistically, the first two — or about two and a half — of these challenges have already been addressed, forming the foundation for solving the third one. The third challenge is the key to enabling true network scalability.

The next focus will be on this third challenge.

Tested @YakiHonne ’s new version and was amazed by the offline mode. New version coming soon!
