Agreed, but that is exactly how NOSTR identity works, and the reason I think NOSTR is such a great protocol.

You realize you’re describing Nostr right?
This is silly. The web is not in decline and Google is not at fault. Most of the web is garbage, and Google helps us find the information buried in a sea of ads and repetitively copied/reworded content. We are moving to a world where putting up a plagiarized page with tons of ads will not be profitable. The sooner that day arrives, the better.
How is nostr promoting crypto?
I agree. I also notice a constant push to ban anything that is deemed offensive, which in most cases is just a statement of opinion that someone did not like.
Nostr is ultimately the way forward and he knows it. Nobody controlling your identity other than yourself.
Do we know they are monitoring our usage of the launcher?
It’s not worth getting this upset about this stuff. That’s my 2 cents.
I think Mlem lets you go directly to reader mode.
Agreed but it bugs me that I need to pay Reddit to not see ads and on top of that they get paid for the content we produce. The fediverse is a better model.
I don’t object to my content being used for training. I do object to Reddit profiting from that data. It’s the reason I basically don’t participate on Reddit anymore. Anything I post in the fediverse I am aware I am offering it up for free to be crawled and used as seen fit as long as it is not monetized without my consent. I don’t consider model training to be monetization.
It’s this kind of nonsense that always makes me run back to my iPhone.
If RCS is such an awesome standard, why not mandate it for all EU phones? Apple already supports the current standard, which is SMS. The idea that they have to open up their proprietary software seems silly to me.
It is confusing. If you have two apps on your phone that do the same thing, how is the new user supposed to know what to do? I’m thinking of Samsung and how they insist on shipping their own branded stuff that, for the most part, brings nothing new to the table.
When I see people criticize something they have clearly not used I get motivated to try it.
Everyone needs to take more responsibility for the nonsense they read instead of blaming it all on the platform or Elon.
Just wait till the first security vulnerability are discovered in the code that now will be able to run on iOS and which Apple can’t control directly. Nobody will remember that the cause was forcing Apple to open up their system. They will just blame Apple.
As with everything Samsung tends to do I’ll bet the AI stuff is half baked. 
I really try not to judge on these topics. If I can somehow justify they’re not relevant to the job.
If you’re a religious person with a suppose, moral compass, when Trump cheated on his pregnant wife, with essentially a prostitute, doesn’t that raise all kinds of red flags? I don’t know. Honestly I’m just asking. I don’t go to church and I’m essentially agnostic but my moral compass makes me run the other direction when I see something like that. 
I suspect retrofitting a whole new identity system to Fediverse will never happen because server admins, or instance admins, will come up with all kinds of reasons why they don’t like the idea of not knowing who their users are. Some of them would probably allow it, but I bet a whole bunch of them wouldn’t, and we’d get into this fragmentation where some servers won’t allow posts from those types of identity, etc. It seems to me much easier to take Nostr and just give it the functionality you get inside the Fediverse.
