Does anyone know what this thing is? Some kind of decentralized, open source, anti-establishment, etc platform aiming to be an alternative to twitter, but we plebs aren’t allowed to see or participate in the development process or even see any source repositories yet.
To me there’s a bunch of red flags, but I can’t put my finger on what I reckon they’re flagging. It’s that combo of roll-your-own-crypto and promises of decentralization and secret-open-source-development-model all tied together with node.js and blockchain.
No mention of other decentralization efforts, their envisaged place/relationship with the fediverse, ActivityPub, Mastodon, possibility of extending their new blockchain protocol ideas with other platforms. Nothing even about how they’re better than the fediverse or whatever.
They were banned from twitter tho so they “must be legit”? The slides on the “tech” page mostly have this “COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE - NOT FOR UNAUTHORISED USE OR DISSEMINATION” watermarks, which is pretty weird.

It is an uncensored blockchain based social media platform.
Their press releases claiming Twitter’s consideration of a subscription model is motivated by PanQuake, ignoring the fact that Twitter forst floated that idea since June 2021.
I do not like such claims like uncensored because each single network I inspected claimed this got quickly infiltrated by nazi trying to spread their propaganda, it is also the reason why this got banned on my own list. Btw they got banned due to unclear connections to Russians and baseless claims against Twitter, I need to protect Twitter a bit in this case, I would have done the same.
Uncensored never works and never will be, solid fundament for a democracy is strong moderation, otherwise we have anarchy.
It still is beta but I do not expect something will come out of this.

Well, “uncensored” can definitely work. You (and definitely they, too) are conflating “uncensored” with “unmoderated”.

I’m getting a rough impression that… the blockchain is the moderator?
