X Stage - Feb 19 - 18:00 GMT

Hey everyone!

This Wednesday, February 19, at 18:00 GMT, we’re hosting a Twitter Spaces Event where we’ll dive into Autonomi, exploring what an autonomous network really is and how it differs from the web we know today. This is the first in a series of sessions, so stay tuned for more!

If you’re already familiar, you know how exciting this is and hope to see you there. And if you’re new or just curious, we’d love to have you join us:

Why not Bluesky?

It may be challenging to influence the team regarding their preferred platforms, as they generally favor centralized solutions.

I think its more of the audience they are seeking.

X has a massive user base that we want to tap into. We want to attract new people and right now X is one of the best places to do that.

Why Bluesky?

The same type of people / community will create the same kind of platform:

"Over at Bluesky, “little by little, they [the users] started asking Jay [Graber, the CEO] and the team for moderation tools, and to kick people off. And unfortunately they followed through with it,” Dorsey told Pirate Wires.

“That was the second moment I thought, uh, nope,” Dorsey added. “This is literally repeating all the mistakes we [Twitter] made as a company. This is not a protocol that’s truly decentralized. It’s another app. It’s another app that’s just kind of following in Twitter’s footsteps, but for a different part of the population.”"

Nostr has the most promise as an alterative at this point in time. Hopefully someone builds something like Nostr on Autonomi.

Example. How do I tell people about this project.

I email them to a centralized email platform they use.

I point them to twitter posts. They all have twitter accounts and if I
mention mastodon they will just give me an even weirder look.

Centralized services are the nurseries of which distributed users of Autonomi will grow in to.

I am sure there are people on desentralised platforms but they are already aware and maybe not as much juice is delivered for the squeeze.

Our target audience are in the vast majority on centralised services and can only be reached there.

I dont want to have to,

  1. First educate people and move them over to existing decentralized services.
  2. Then educate them about autonomi through existing decentralized services… what a waste of time.

Pointing them to autonomi.com, this website, is enough.

  1. [I do want to spend my energy here] Let’s get them on autonomi decentralized services.

Because it seems to be the next biggest platform after twitter.

Probably best to stick to the biggest platform and one that doesn’t censor a lot.

Is this event recorded?

I can read bluesky without signing up for an account and I’m not forced to see the most depraved nonsense and can create a feed that actually consists of things that are relevant and interesting. It also doesn’t provide influence to a Nazi, which is always nice. The fact that Dorsey doesn’t like it, makes it a plus for me.

So Autonomi should move the stage to Bluesky so it can make one person happy that has a polarized ideology rather than using a platform that will get the most exposure? Seems logical and not emotional at all… :thinking::joy:

Wait a second @Sonder are you implying that social media bias and ideology is logical?

It should be… I see little of it :rofl:

I see team mentality mostly.

One that likes dressing in skimpy leather garments?

My dude, are you defending a service that censors a lot by saying it doesn’t censor a lot?

Yo. I’m saying X.com doesn’t censor as much as it did pre-Musk takeover, and that Jack Dorsey is saying he has left because Bluesky it is censoring like twitter did pre-Musk.

But ultimately the end goal for these platforms is a decentralized platform like Nostr… so if we should move anywhere at this point in time it should be Nostr, but that doesn’t make sense at the moment because it isn’t big enough. The goal is awareness at this phase.

Ultimately, that didn’t work out and Dorsey sold the social media company to Elon Musk in October 2022 for $44 billion.
(…)
Elon Musk purchased Twitter from Dorsey in October 2022 for $44 million and has since been transforming it into X, “the everything app,” similar to China’s WeChat.
:wink:
