Somebody takes out the lemmy.world server and your identity is gone. So decentralized, lol.
Together we can build something that was lost to company execs, shareholders and modern capitalism.

The future is decentralized, not federated. That’s why I’m on nostr, even if it doesn’t deliver yet.
Key difference is that Bitcoin people want/need their numbers to go up,up,up as a measure of success.
Nah, you’re making the mistake of only paying attention to bitcoin short term when the price goes up, so you only perceive people who get in short term while the number goes up.
How do we know that?

Is there some api doc, or is it rtfs? :-)
They only copy posts afaict. I subscribed to some of their communities but unsubscribed rather quickly as the post feed without comments usually has little value.
I see. Yeah, it should be possible to federate/distribute that I guess.
I have multiple accounts, but after a few days I stopped using all except one. Not sure what would be the point of using all of them. As for identity, as long as you want to have a verifiable identity you should use some external independent mechanism, anything hosted can’t be trusted. E.g. GPG signatures on your profile if you’re somewhat technical.
You may also interact with countless bots without ever knowing, because creating fake identities is free.
Fair, some people value their identity.
For average people nothing changes, the app can hold their key for them and even offer email recovery.
That’s something having signatures and a web of trust solves.
Besides, you fail to see another problem: Whichever centralized, federated site you use can manipulate anything you read and publish.
Anyway, if you don’t see a need for tools like nostr you don’t need them.
