Yes, my reputation is based on solid reasons. For example: when the federal government asked me to snitch on people, I told them to eat shit, went to trial, got the maximum sentence and created precedent protecting the rights of everyone that uses the Internet worldwide. I forged the law with my own flesh as a sacrifice. That’s pretty much the reason for my reputation.

This type of ad hominem makes it incredibly obvious that you are not addressing anything I said in my post, and are desperately trying not to do so.
> all open source and you can run it or fork it.
and? Bluesky is open source. It is incredibly centralized. Mastodon is open source. It is incredibly centralized. “You can fork it!” is not an argument, because it de facto assumes that your software is worthwhile to fork. It is not.
jaredlogan (npub19yw…322j) has done a great job analyzing the Pubky application and the multiple ways it is as centralized as BlueSky (thread nevent attached). He’s asked for comment specifically from you, but you are instead using your limited time to call me names. You can berate me and call me names all you want, but it makes it incredibly obvious that you want to use ad hominem and character assassination to silence anyone’s concerns about your extremely centralized service. If Tether has nothing to do with what a shit heap the Pubky app is, it is even worse. If you chose these architectural decisions solely out of your own designs and it doesn’t have anything to do with the subversive influence of capital, we can only assume that you are a demented sociopath that likes spying on people just for the fun of it.
quotingThe codebase has a Google Cloud Storage backend? Synonym's production configuration (which backend they're actually running) is not public from what I can tell.

The entire storage configuration in google_bucket_config.rs (the file that controls where your data lives) is this:
rustlet builder = opendal::services::Gcs::default()
.bucket(&self.bucket_name)
.credential(&credential);
Bucket name. Credential. That's it. So user data goes to a Google Cloud Storage bucket that Synonym owns and controls?

A sovereignty protocol that stores your data on Google Cloud is kind of hilarious at first glance.
