You're right. I am making an assumption. One I believe is correct. You haven't said anything to prove otherwise. Honestly, i don't care about that.
Intelligence agencies have mastered data harvesting techniques for decades. Long before the internet even existed. Jack could've easily been coerced by state and corporate partners to start a new platform over a decentralized protocol in an effort to make an "improved" version of Twitter on Nostr while replacing him with Elon over at Twitter (due to his rather distasteful rep).That plan is not farfetched in the intelligence space... AT ALL. That way you gain narrative (a.k.a. state) control from both ends of the social media spectrum.

The opposite argument can be made: @jack is funding Nostr precisely because he experienced the pressure of three-letter agencies while running a centralized social media platform. He learned from that experience and is now backing an alternative that cannot be co-opted or corrupted in the same way.
What if the Twitter Files were actually released to sow distrust in what Dorsey is building with Nostr, carefully curated and timed in a way that shapes the narrative in one very specific direction?
Without concrete evidence supporting any of these possibilities, it ultimately comes down to perspective. Whether you lean toward optimism or pessimism dictates how you interpret the “true” reality.
There are no certainties, only probabilities.
I didn't even hear about the Twitter Files being released. That would mean I distrusted him to begin with. I said it hear. I really cannot explain it in a more self-explanatory manner.
When you make an assumption based off nothing, it’s likely a projection. All I did was ask a question instead of blindly accepting a random stranger’s baseless opinion. Your opinion could be right but I’m asking for you to prove it.
Why would they coerce Jack to fund a decentralized protocol that they can’t control?
I feel as though I did answer your question in my statement above.
The Twitter Files were mentioned in the original post above.
I appreciate you adding more context from your earlier posts, but those weren’t part of this specific thread.
The good news is, none of us need to rely on Jack’s word about the protocol, we can look at the code ourselves.
Even with the added context from your previous posts, the point still stands: your interpretation of reality rests mostly on our limited understanding of the past Twitter events and on personal vibes.
