Censorship resistance score card: ~2/10 -- twitter / x ~3/10 -- activitypub / mastodon ~6/10 -- nostr ~8/10 -- bitcoin ~9/10 -- bittorrent/pubky X relies on the CEO alot. AP is inconsistent, but you can run your own. Nostr is still reliant on DNS. Bitcoin has a reliance on miners. Bittorrent seems to be holding up with occasional scare letters from lawyers.

A fairly decent summary. I would add one thing. A nostr client could upgrade its censorship resistance with a relatively easy #pubky integration. The two protocols are complementary. image

Picture a relay-race baton hurtling around a track. Before each hand-off the runner stamps the baton with today’s secret code, then sprints ahead. Every swap is signed, time-stamped, and etched into Bitcoin forever—so anyone can replay the entire race and verify there was never a duplicate baton. That baton is a Blocktrail. It gives you contract-grade state changes, provable settlement, and full auditability—powered solely by Bitcoin, no new chain or side token in sight. image

Agents with multiple decentralized git repos? Don't mind if I do! image

Decentralized agents are here. They are just unevenly distributed. For now ... 🥳 image
