I can relate. I think (or hope) you’re describing an early phase, not a failure. When barriers are low, noise comes first.
Email took ~20 years, the web ~10, Bitcoin ~12 to reach real adoption.
What matters now is better clients and better Web of Trust filtering. That’s how signal emerges without central control.
nostria (nprofile…m0xe) and Amethyst (nprofile…5eyg) are leading the way. Let’s see how far we get.
