I need an Urbiter to come and fight me about their goddamn club. This screenshot is from their operator guide. In place of *actual* credible guarantees of sovereignty or privacy, users are still beholden to their service providers for their data! What the fuck! WHAT IS THE POINT

Urbit through hosting ever promised privacy or sovereignty? It's not black and white, it's a spectrum. Are you using a your own full-node to access Ethereum or are you using a centralized RPC providers?

What about Farcaster? Do you also run your own hub? According to FID, you were here long before Farcaster was permission-less, and the centralization of whole system (esp. Warpcast) is quite apparent

Personally, I've been interested in new decentralized networks for a long time. It's very interesting to watch Farcaster, Bluesky, Nostr, Lens and others... I'd be quite interested in your opinion on this. Because given how upset you are about Urbit, I wouldn't exactly expect you to be on Farcaster, to be honest.

You make a salient point. I don't use Farcaster that much, I'm mostly here because this is where the Ethereum folks are async. I did use Mastodon a fair amount, which is more open then Farcaster, because the cybersec people are there, but the Ethereum community isn't there.

Mastodon is fine, cybersec people like it because it is self-hosted, however it has its fundamental flaws in terms of mass use. Each platform has its own specific audience: - Mastodon: leftist FOSS people - Nostr: ancap BTC maxis - Farcaster/Lens: mixed ETH people - Urbit: dreamers/non-conformist
