 I'm having a real hard time seeing how, if he managed to get his hands on TikTok, he would transform it into the "good internet". Without losing all the users. Anybody else see what he apparently sees? https://gizmodo.com/tiktok-ban-frank-mccourt-bytedance-liberty-china-app-1851478825 5 comments
 @J12t his most recent idea for a "better Internet" was blockchain nonsense, so I don't see him actually doing anything good with it https://www.axios.com/2022/09/20/me-we-project-liberty-frank-mccourt @reillypascal I'm aware of the protocol. Even beyond the specific protocol, I have never understood why anybody thinks an (all-public, never-can-delete) data store is the right place for social media data. I don't get the all-public about #Bluesky either. (and I'm not understanding what they may or may not support in terms of delete) But re McCourt, he's not a geek, so he can only act on what geeks tell him, and they told him blockchain :-) |

@J12t It could be a pipe dream, but he might be able to pull it off. If he did manage to get it, I hope he learns lessons from the former BirdSite's happenings.
