Kinda hilarious that Qanon weirdos think they’re userbase is going to know anything about alternate decentralized platforms. Best practices for UX is assuming the user is retarded, and the majority of that userbase are already going to be Gen x / boomers who only know how to use Twitter. It’s all going to be memory-holed as those guys age out. Case study in technical illiteracy I guess?

@0x0f I don't agree with this at all. Most topsites are run by boomers and they have among the best security on the internet (and have to)

You are seriously underestimating these people and that'll be a huge advantage for them. 🤫😬

Fair point, underestimating people is what got us into this mess in the first place.

@freemo @0x0f I didn't mention it I forgot but they are usually the ones running the darknet markets and sites as well.

Boomers are actually insanely tech savvy (some) because they've been doing this stuff since the beginning. They literally invented it in the days of BBS boards 🙂

@Wetrix @freemo top-level sure, but we’re talking about a populist movement. Consolidation of power to such a narrow group just feels like that it would defeat the point.

The really only feasible choices for these people is Matrix messaging and Urbit and the barrier of entry is going to filter out most users, not just your average boomer

@0x0f @freemo how is matrix going to filter them out? I used matrix and it was as simple as snap chat or whatsapp.

There's a little more to it. You should probably back up your keys in case you log out, or you won't be able to verify for encrypted messages.
