Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are all designed to be decentralized, but they exhibit varying degrees of centralization in practice.
- Bitcoin is fundamentally decentralized, relying on a distributed network of miners to validate transactions. However, over time, mining has become more centralized due to the rise of large mining pools, which control a significant portion of the network's hash rate.
- Ethereum is also decentralized, utilizing a network of nodes to execute smart contracts and validate transactions. It recently transitioned from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake, which some argue could lead to centralization if a small number of validators control a large portion of the staked ETH. However, Ethereum's governance and development remain decentralized, involving a broad community.
- Solana is designed to be decentralized, using a combination of Proof of History and Proof of Stake. While it aims for high performance and scalability, concerns have been raised about its level of decentralization due to the relatively small number of validators compared to other blockchains like Ethereum.
Overall, while all three aim for decentralization, practical aspects such as mining pools and validator distribution can lead to varying degrees of centralization.

Andrew Tate is a perfect analogy for how damaging social media has become. Confrontation creates more engagement. The people that choose to stick with Andrew Tate cling to the 10% of things he preaches that are actually good for society. There are plenty of content creators with this same messaging. The only reason Andrew Tate rose to the top because he leveraged the power of social media’s reliance on confrontation to drive engagement.

So mine shows @matt and I don’t have to do anything because it’s just a bug?

Is there a bug with account names not showing? Or is that apart of the protocol and my name won’t show unless I do the verification?

I know Trainwreck is really close to the rust mods, it might be worth it to try reaching out to them somehow

Is that a rust mod or just an example use case?

Why do you think Bitcoin it important to include in a decentralized social media platform?

Oh please please please separate out replies from posts completely, there’s no reason to lump those imo. Also, if y’all ever create a “retweet or quote tweet” function, please please please separate those out as well. Make every unique type of post it’s own filter
