Isn't oversimplified dogma grand? The reality is that the tech tyrants, as very widely trusted third parties, are increasingly wielding their huge political power. Politicians and regulators, along with armies of political activists, are vying to influence that censorship.https://twitter.com/JCHERIAT/status/1026832260987854849 …

Nick, Are you on any other platforms right now?
@MastodonProject ,@peepethApp ? Wondering when the shift to decentralized social media will take place.
Mastodon's UI is inscrutable, until they fix it they won't attract much of an audience. Will check out peepeth.

Peepeth puts the IPFS hash of posts on the Ethereum blockchain, idk why you would want tweets to be immutable global state. Problematic design IMO
-
Why problematic?
-
Have you never wanted to edit or delete a post you put out on the internet?
-
You can achieve censorship-resistance without "an immutable record everyone on earth agrees on," i.e. a blockchain. One way to do it would be to pass the data around p2p and only replicate it among those who care to see your posts, secure-scuttlebutt style.

ssb feeds are also immutable chains. Pushing to ethereum is global, can be anonymous and doesn't go down (not saying its efficient). ssb doesn't provide such guarantees.
-
Don't like the append-only log aspect of ssb, like the local-first approach. Because unless you're Wikileaks, most social media posts don't need to be stamped into a global ledger. Only your friends care. Both are pseudonymous
