I will always miss peak Twitter, but I’m not sure how much demand there is for such a platform today - as long as there are fragmented communities that feel much “friendlier” (because more folks think the same) people will prefer that. Maybe you can emulate that feeling with platform design, but that seems to have tradeoffs that make the virality of peak Twitter impossible/very rare.

I could just be over-indexing on today, but I also think a more decentralized Internet is good, and not just decentralized protocols, but many different platforms and protocols available to people.

(You might argue that there will be many platforms built on nostr, which is far, and insofar as they’re sufficiently siloed I think that would still be my point, even if they share a common backend)
