Is the decent private group chat thing easily solved? I have hopes, but seeing is believing.
The second point will be interesting. This high agreeableness/low tollerance for disagreeableness crowd will self segregate by blocking, muting and blinding themselves from the outside world like they always do (and to be clear i think this is totally fine, legitemate and principally have no issue with this); but this time in doing so they wont marginalize others directly via bansishment from platforms.
However it would constitute more of a 'soft' attack on socialgraphs. So who knows how that will actually play out.
Decent means good enough for most of my crew, they're more concerned with exclusivity and UX than double-ratchet secure messaging protocols. A lot of them have podcasts and are only pseudo anonymous, having been doxxed more than once. If anything, getting constantly banned is more of a concern for them than super tight privacy, since they are using the bird platform after all. They're also a bit wary of the whole Bitcoin connection, since the particular sub culture they participate in is full of $hitcoiners and other crypto grifters.
