Pubky is a Web2 platform with a decentralized protocol underneath it. The protocol may be open. The flagship application, the one they're actually pushing, the one with the invite codes and the landing page, is as legally encumbered as any big tech platform we all left behind. The tagline says "your keys, your content, your rules." The ToS says Synonym can modify, sublicense, and create derivatives of your content, retain it after deletion, edit it without notice, and make you arbitrate any complaint in London. One is marketing, the other is law. No, nostr isn't dying. There is no Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. That's the point. It's a truly open protocol, without permission.

"edit without notice" 🤣 Alex can I have Things That Are Impossible on Nostr for 1000?
