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.

    At a certain point, people stop telling you “no” and then you end up with a gold nose ring and hippie beard. Dorsey probably hasn’t heard a “no” since 2006

      These guys are the ones who went to burning man when they were young and it was cool, but kept going, got old, and ruined it for the next generations.

      Makes me sad as a member of the Oregon Gen who missed the heydays of that kind of stuff, but read all about it as it was in its prime.

      If you tell that that’s a hippie beard in my local metal bar… You might be politely corrected because we are awesome.

      Also, punks and metalheads get beards and rings too.
