“FOSS devs are a return to an older system of development where the coders really know the code and stay with the project. Not simply patching bugs but crafting software. A return of the craftsman. image

Users are not locked into a client. Use. Can have cryptographs of autonomy from the data is produced if they don't like the client they're using. They can just use different clients. If users are unhappy with all clients, they can build their own clients. And also to complete the permissionless development environment, they want to build everything. @Ben Arc

And worse, perhaps than all that, is the algorithm, which exists just to capture profit, which has no duty of care to users, doesn't care about us or the impact it has on humanity. It really is just to engage users at any cost for as long as possible so they can sell you to advertise this or bully you into a paid plan. - @Ben Arc

That is how current social media paradigm works. A single CEO can wake up and decide to move the algorithm slider and screw billions of users into additional reality by showing them different types of content. And if it's not the CEO of the platform, it could be the government for the in the country in which the corporation resides in, leading on that platform. - @Ben Arc

#NOSTR is a commons. It is constantly under attack by centralised land grabs. We must defend the commons. - @Ben Arc

On #NOSTR, users control their own data. If a client goes bad they can choose a new client. - @Ben Arc
