The only thing close is some ethereum tools like these:

- https://github.com/status-im/nwaku

- https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2

But I think the real killer feature to me is the javascript target. It seems like a real dream for a fullstack experience.

The reason I just want a public key is because I don’t really own the account otherwise. I only own it if I self host it. If I rent from them, I’m just renting my account from these services. It’s actually worse than renting it from Twitter because people care less if smaller companies abuse you.

*if you know how to manage and maintain a server

If that is the “normal people” tier, it’s too much. I should not pay the same as McDonalds or even a C list celebrity.

I would swing $4 if they added encrypted DMs.

I just want a public key. You can name me what you want or I can buy an easy-to-read username and renew it like a domain.

It should cost more than that. Make it clear that this is intended for corporations / brands and that this subsidizes regular people.

> you can't trust a bounty system like this

You mean the accuracy of the data? I guess that is why a lot of systems have “validators” or something like that in place.

But it’s a problem with OSM and wikipedia in general.

Now imagine if Tomtom and Microsoft both paid users for map improvements. That would be super cool.

They could even make an app to submit the improvements and even show me ads, I don't care. I would still do it.

Consider: it’s easier to “be real” with random people that you dont know in real life.

With real life friends, people naturally self censor quite a lot.

But if you do want an IRL friend network, also consider a “friend” system. Because I don’t think fully public posts jives with your idea. If I just want to talk to friends, I don’t want to share with the world.

> Private likes.

> Private responses.

> Private subscriber counts.

> No status games. No trolls. No pressure.

This is the real differentiator. Do you still use algorithms around likes and follows to recommend users to each other and such?

Those data points actually are useful to get people more connected to the network and help them find their community

It is the fault of email, the protocol, yes.

If email was better designed, it would not allow these situations to happen. For example, if server operators didn't own your account, there would be no problem.

It is a protocol issue.

People lose their gmail accounts all the time for weird reasons. Maybe you are specifically talking about a world where everyone self hosts their own servers?

one XMPP server gets big and usernames get squatted and dealt with at the discretion of the server admin.

Only solution is something like how Farcaster does it where you at least get to keep your public key the same and usernames are optional.

Or go the urbit route and make the addresses totally user owned.

Argent’s “guardians” are the only consumer implementation of SSS that I have found and I love it.

I wish more apps used this tech.

I just want the regular Windows Movie Maker to come back. It’s crazy how good that thing was for making basic movies. Simple non-linear editing that just worked.

Then they got rid of it and replaced it with… nothing?

> but nothing about algorithms, data structures, architecture, patterns, how to properly structure your code.

To be fair, that is the fault of most programming textbooks and courses.

Maybe ONE programming course (Learn Go With Test) I’ve seen has focused on this.

Does this mean that writers use a branch and merge based workflow?

That would be amazing and it is the one major thing missing from other options like Statamic.

Nobody understood my needs around this when I was looking for solutions.

Anecdotally, the only “Web 3” that has improved my life is Monero.

It’s the best way I’ve found to send money to strangers on the internet. I’ve opened unofficial bounties and paid open source developers to implement them, as one example.

It really “just works” in a way where other crypto currency doesn’t.

I still support many other projects in this space, but Monero was the only one I felt comfortable actually using.

Is there a page that explains how it is built? or how it works?

There might be, but I can’t see it on mobile

An endorsement layer could actually be pretty cool.

If I could choose which endorsement agency to trust and then drop them for a competitor if they break my trust. Not bad.

Yeah I was hoping for something more like the Cruis’n USA racing games where the world is scrolling at you and your character stays stationary.

> you can move your account to another instance in about 2 Minutes of work

Maybe 2 minutes for the technical side, then 2 months of getting all your old followers to follow you at your new address.

> if you want more, use the IM of your trust ;)

Or use a different protocol...

What is the end goal? I see there is logic included, does that mean it will be a full game engine? Or maybe a fantasy console?

I was told to do Japanese first. Because you get grammar similar to Korean and Chinese characters both for free, or at least half off.

Much of the Kanji even means the same thing in Chinese (different pronunciations of course though).

Well yeah, if it is your culture to spit on the ground and be a menace to society, then your culture will be erased.

The US is “third world” in comparison.

Now you have to ask why that is, right? My guess would be the law & order mentality of the state.

Ive heard Singapore cited as the one instance where multi-culturalism actually works. The catch being that you need a police state to enforce the norms on everyone. And you enforce it equally.

You’re simply wrong dude.

The proof is all around us. People don’t want to use services run by their friends. Otherwise they would.

I trust my brother with my life, but I would prefer to use Instagram DMs rather than a chat service he is running on a VPS. There is so much that can go wrong with a service like that. No offense to him, but I’d rather a company handle it where people are getting paid to do it.

Generally speaking, if someone is running a service out of the goodness of their heart, they are doing it as a hobby. And you have to wonder why it is so fun to them? They enjoy handling peoples’ chats? Seems a lil weird. I love my brother, but just seems a little off.

People do think like this.

It would absolutely be a realistic line of questioning for friends and even family.

There is terms and service, legal systems etc for corporations. There is no such thing for individual server admins. They are right to feel weird about their friend running their private chats as opposed to a company.

I stopped using Firefox because of the poor text rendering compared to Chrome.

A lot of people here dismissed me, didn't believe me, or just said that I shouldn't care.

I can't help but think that the Firefox "community" is just kinda like that. They don't really care about things that regular users are bothered by.

Culture dictates priorities, right?
