During SMC 2025, we explored the themes of decentralized social networks and publishing. I was impressed by Bluesky’s growing presence in the U.S. academic space, but Nostr and @npub1yzv…rf8q are also set to become official communication platforms for SMC 2026.

Thinking about the scalability of decentralized social networks from three perspectives:
1. Identity — balancing user-friendliness and censorship resistance
2. Data storage — balancing unstoppable availability with fast loading speed
3. Better search and discovery
Optimistically, the first two — or about two and a half — of these challenges have already been addressed, forming the foundation for solving the third one. The third challenge is the key to enabling true network scalability.
The next focus will be on this third challenge.

From an efficiency perspective, combining AI with social media might not really work, since social media isn’t designed as a workflow tool. Instead, leaning into fun and playfulness could be a direction.

2025-09-07 03:11:27 UTC

A lot has happened recently, more complex than anything I've faced before. Through these challenges, i’ve come to truly understand the path of releasing attachment, beyond just persisting or giving up. When you release attachment, the craving and worrying vanish, your perspective widens, and you can approach things with a long-term mindset.
Reflecting on what’s happened, this is a misjudgment of human nature’s weaknesses. But it also answers one of life’s biggest questions: capability vs. values. This answer came at an immense cost. Yet, at my age, having gone through it all while handling everything with kindness and composure—this calm courage stems from the full support of my team and family.
Life teaches us to be more pragmatic. But in this process, it’s easy to lose sight of dreams. I’m fortunate to have solidified two key directions: holding onto dreams and walking alongside those who share my values.

Academic conference and journal management systems (such as PaperCept) may be complex, but their organizational structures and role definitions are very clear. For systems that require a certain degree of closed-source design and confidentiality, adopting Nostr for optimization may offer limited value. In other words, Nostr is not well-suited for academic management systems, but rather for publishing systems.

This is a super hot trend in Asia right now. they’ve coined the term RWA coins. On the flip side, after new U.S. legislation, a reverse trend is emerging — tokenized projects are merging into public shell companies to tap into the U.S. stock market for higher upside. This model is being called a “Digital Asset Treasury (DAT)” company.

Seven years ago, research on blockchain/smart contract governance mechanisms from the perspective of computational/parallel governance faced constant skepticism.
Now, research on decentralized social protocols, due to the sensitivity of "social", makes it difficult for researchers to openly collaborate or claim authorship.
However, time will prove everything, as research from recent years continues to be cited.

In sociology, a central perspective holds that how people perceive and interpret things often matters more than the things themselves—and this meaning-making process is also a key source of individual well-being and reconciliation with the self in society. This idea has profoundly influenced the development of framing theory in media studies.

This past week, I stepped out of my familiar Freedom Tech lens and began to observe freedom in life itself.
Across several dance classes, Muslim women taught in a mixed-gender public space. Such a scene remains difficult, even controversial, in many cultures.
Yet they stood there: teaching with confidence and joy. Women of different religions joined as well, sharing the space with kindness and openness.
It was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had. Not about technique, but about freedom, kindness, and shared humanity.
It made me reflect on how freedom grows and seeks space for expression within existing cultures, social orders, and boundaries of power.
Freedom Tech is one force that helps enable such expression. But in the end, all forces ultimately distill into something simple and precious: joy, kindness, calm, and compassion.
