Twitter founder Jack Dorsey pumps $10 million into a nonprofit to build Nostr-based social media apps (techcrunch.com)

Having fucked up social discourse with Twitter and then Bluesky, Jack Dorsey claims he has seen the error of his ways, and definitely won't do it a third time with his new nonprofit aimed at helping developers build and deploy (OSS or commercial) social media tech built on the Nostr platform (with AI!). Yeesh, I might be biased. Maybe I shouldn't be writing these summaries.

Jack Dorsey should just fucking stop.

Why is he so hated here? Twitter model is one thing that is kinda fit for global-open-decentralized approaches without much difference for the user. I could never use it, but plenty of people do and seem to have a feeling of hivemind over it.

Figure head syndrome. Literally a man with money, otherwise completely unremarkable

Is "better than Zuck" a valid argument?
