Here's a design for a better Fediverse:

Mojo!

Thanks for the constructive criticism. Addressed one concern in a reply above this.

What is the Fediverse? https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/fediverse-explainer-1.69058...

Thanks for your constructive criticism. Addressed this concern a couple of replies above.

Does Zuck like to be handcuffed while being drilled? There will be handcuffs for sure, for that kinky bad boy.

Thanks!

How is the Fediverse funded?

- You don’t have the public reputation to convince people to trust you over others.

I'm a geek, not a social media influencer. True technological meritocracy over image. Good ideas speak for themselves. Maybe even the people we don't know/like/trust can teach us something, if we're willing to separate the idea from the person.

Here's one related idea: https://blog.ownlifeful.com/2021/12/direct-democracy-re-imag...

- It’s unlikely you’d be able to host a fediverse instance able to handle that many users.

Maybe the ad on FaceBook will have an onboarding quiz to ask the user about their interests, and hook them up with the right Fediverse instance.

- You can’t export their whole social network, it’s nothing unless everyone in their network migrates and is properly linked on the other side.

Maybe there will be a registry ( I haven't thought about implementation details. centralized/decentralized. how is the authorization handled? ) that lets people seamlessly connect with their former facebook contacts. Like going to heaven to unite with your loved ones. ;-)

- Your ads will be denied as is their right to do so.

Is that right? This looks like a job for me. So everybody, just follow me.

- Free speech gets real ugly, real fast, without moderation and the tools to moderate at scale. The people who stick around unmoderated spaces will actively push out others.

Again, I really appreciate your constructive criticism. Please ask me more questions.

jgrahamc, your point is well-taken. I managed to create a convincing, yet superficial, case framing myself as Satoshi Nakamoto too. :)

How do we determine whether this is real, or a hoax? Can anyone suggest an experiment that doesn't involve paying 0.25 BTC?

I came to the US as a student. I believe this is a very common background story for foreign entrepreneurs.

There are many good reasons for this move: http://bit.ly/chinalinux

Invite Google to take a stake in your project. It could be the first showcase featuring Google Glass. Every customer who wants them, is loaned a pair of Google Glasses during their visit. Just imagine the kinds of specialty apps you could offer! Imagine the kind of positive publicity this could generate for both companies! Invest in a Google Glass developer's kit & whip up a prototype to show Google when you pitch this to them. I hope you live on, as the first AR bookstore!
