  a truly censorship-resistant alternative to Twitter that has a chance of working

  

Funny you say that. Now that Mastodon is gaining some popularity, people are finally starting to realize how chatty the servers are, and some popular bloggers are already complaining about being DDOS'd by the mere fact they got post with a link triggered a cascade of simultaneous requests from +1900 servers.

Personally, I started to look at nostr [0]. It gets rid of this idea of decentalization-by-federation and makes nodes mere relays of information. The architecture is infinitely simpler and it a lot easier to scale. I'm wondering how easy it would be to fork an Mastodon/ActivityPub client and make it work with a nostr relay, and I will probably take the christmas break to add a nostr relay to communick.

While we're on the topic of social media I'd like to remind everyone that Discord won't let you delete older messages without the risk of getting banned with no appeals process. So if you were considering leaving Twitter or Mastodon for Discord, DON'T.
