History always repeats itself, all we need to do is replace a few words and we go back in time 40 years, hint: TCP/IP won, by a landslide

Love the spirit and ethos of TCP/IP, hope that it takes off. But it is ironic that Louis Pouzin is doing more to push back on lawlessness + better data protocols and so many people are trying to funnel people away, while not admitting that TCP/IP is more limited than CYCLADES

Isn't the idea that the potential number of protocols at least makes it more resilient?

That's the theory but it doesn't work in practice. If any protocol gains dominance (think the majority of the internet), then it will be constrained. And then designers have a decision to make. And when one design caves...what is needed is architects with power to push innovation. Not just a protocol.

quoting nevent1q…2j65What level of nostr derangement syndrome is this. Nostr won’t work because you can just censor the apps? What? This seems like an argument against X not nostr.
