Glad to see you on nostr. The protocol.
Did twitter really have plans to abandon a centralised server and become protocol driven with decentralised relays?
This is my first time hearing about it.
There was atleast a decade of Twitter before Elon.
Were these plans in the making for a whole decade and then blame elon for not doing it within a year?
No disrespect, just honest questions here in the spirit of authentic journalism...
