@_xyz what’s your discord and telegram group ?
@aznaurmidov @liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon you'd expect so since it's built on blockchain, but alas that's just another web2 use case
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon do you keep a tally of how many a16z partners who have blocked you?
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon how is it different to? @twetchapp
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon a lot of the social networks we use now were jumpstarted using a social graph from another app, right until everyone figured it out and closed it down (remember instagram x twitter wars). a decentralized approach would enable this by default.
@dwr @_xyz congrats bro
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon @twetchapp already exist on bitcoin (bsv)… if you can’t understand why you would want to own the data that makes the corresponding social media company worth billions i can’t help you.
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon i'm not saying blockchain is the way to solve this. maybe not. maybe centralized experiences will always be better and we don't have another option. but i'd like one.
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon if you can instantly access any new app and have all your contacts already ported in there would unlock innovation. letting developers build complete experiences on top of existing networks would solve a lot of problems whether it's stagnation or recommendations/censorship.
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon i'm not going to argue about a technical possibility (i'd leave it to a well-funded team to solve). but data portability that prevents any specific company from just owning a network seems definitely seems like a net benefit.
@y_molodtsov @a16z @_xyz @cdixon i’ve never been able to imagine how so. how can decentralized hosting, even in theory, lead to an equilibrium scenario different from what we already have. never seen anyone write up their scenario with same level of basic analysis as my quick post here. https://t.co/v2w0vjyggn
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon i think a platform like that would be a net benefit and can only wish them luck with this.
@nocashirl @a16z @_xyz @cdixon that’s actually a third-party client. the protocol is open yet their own client app is private beta 🤷‍♂️
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon the ui doesn't look very appealing
@gergelyorosz @a16z @_xyz @cdixon agreed
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon most startup ideas can - and are - mocked. then some turn into successes. i have zero problem accredited investors putting millions in an idea that seems silly. their risk! what i do have a problem with is if a web3 vc dumps this risk on unsuspecting retail by selling tokens.
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon i guess they didn't realize that people do not want the dumb sh*t they say to be on the blockchain forever 😂
@peter_onlife @a16z @_xyz @cdixon i wonder if a16z's investment memos literally say "????"
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon great idea! 1. copy a social media platform that's barely profitable after 16 years. 2. but it's on the blockchain! 3. ???? 4. profit
@liron @cdixon i wonder how much the user base of has grown since its inception
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon can he block people on fancaster?
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon i think the hip young kids call them collabs
@johnallsopp @a16z @_xyz @cdixon i think the deal when you get @a16z to pretend your twitter clone isn't a ghost town is that you have to pretend their twitter spaces clone isn't a ghost town https://t.co/e4gqb94jtz
@liron @a16z @_xyz @cdixon big clubhouse areas
the biggest risk factor needs to de-risk is proving that existing twitter users will jump ship. does v1 prove that users want a decentralized twitter? i don't see how. even the avid @cdixon posts 10x more often on his twitter. that's typical web3 for you.
you can see a handful of crypto folks have been chatting among themselves in like it's a crypto-themed discord channel: https://t.co/bue78v9pms my favorite thread is the one where they're struggling to come up with use cases: https://t.co/vdgtxbfdbm https://t.co/3j09ahbua6
today @a16z led a $30m investment in @_xyz. it's a genius idea: twitter, but on on the blockchain. self-described "avid user" @cdixon has been one of the most active accounts during the 50-week beta period, although that's not saying much. https://t.co/1tfs9bwtdr
@cdixon how does compare to activitypub ?

@everlastingos @_xyz @dwr is this built on block chain?
great to be on @_xyz and congratulations @dwr👏 https://t.co/nx65jxvqpy
@_xyz - decentralized social network by @dwr & @varunsrin
@_xyz nise
@dwr @_xyz congrats @dwr, varun and team!
@karsenthil @dwr @_xyz any apps built on yet that one can use?
@katherineykwu @_xyz @dwr looks cool!
@dwr @_xyz lets gooo ✨
it's rare to find a compelling new social network for the web3 community and this is one of the best i've seen. proud to back @_xyz!
v2 coming soon
i've been on for some time now and i'm consistently impressed with not only the product, but the vision. congratulations, dan & varun! excited for what's to come, and i'm happy to be a part of the journey!
@dwr @_xyz congrats!!!
@davemorin @dwr @_xyz @offlineventures congrats
we have been looking far and wide for a web3 social project with technology architecture that is credibly neutral with the hope of building a healthier internet. @dwr and team at @_xyz have built something new and important. @offlineventures is excited to be on board.
@dwr @_xyz congrats!
@dwr @_xyz hot damn and hell yes
@dwr @_xyz seriously congratulations, this is exciting
@dwr @_xyz excited for you all!!!!
@dwr @_xyz congrats dan!
in all seriousness, couldn't recommend enough. dm @dwr your eth address for access
is it blasphemous to re-tweet casts? https://t.co/tcnfnocex5
@dwr @_xyz hell yes another “web3 twitter” protocol!!! i agree that four was not enough. thank you mister andreessen for funding this generation’s greatest minds 🙏
@damedoteth @_xyz should be better in v2 later this year by both allowing username upgrades / changes and the ability to bring an existing ens as your username https://t.co/ikzuzawlo6
@dwr @_xyz congrats!! purple > blue
congrats to @dwr + the @_xyz team for creating a protocol that has reproduced the authentic, high quality, "joie de vivre" energy of early twitter, instagram, etc. the difference? @_xyz was designed to leverage and amplify that energy, not limit it. bullish🚀
ah yes, using a instead of a bomb and swinging into the abyss and vanishing is one of my favorite mh rise moments so far. good shit https://t.co/lh1lgilfiy
@dwr @_xyz congrats dan and @varunsrin! 🚀
spent most of my social time on the last few months and it's a breath of fresh air. excited to see where it goes next.
i'm so excited to see the @_xyz annoucement! many, many years in the making. sometimes people talk about 'founder-product-fit' and @dwr is the <ideal> founder to bring a sufficiently decentralized protocol for social networks to the world. get it 🔥🌎
the best part about (aside from the community) is that you'd never know that it's decentralized -- truly the future of web3. instead of focusing on maximal decentralization, dan and varun are focused on sufficient decentralization.
@dwr @_xyz amazing 👏
want to join the team? they're hiring staff-level frontend and backend engineers. you can see their listings here: https://t.co/hotgnqhbzx if you're interested, send @dwr a dm with your github/linkedin.
dan and varun are ex-@coinbase crypto-natives who deeply understand this space and how to build something durable and compelling. they’ve put together a fantastic roster of team members and investors to support and i’m excited for @firstround to participate.
so far they've launched an initial version of the protocol and clients that people have been using for a little over a year. i’ve loved being a part of this early community! they're now building v2 in public and plan to launch later this year: https://t.co/rzquqqxqp8
@varunsin and @dwr are building to create a sufficiently decentralized social network. their open protocol is based on two principles: 1. users can always move their social identity between apps 2. devs can always build apps with new features on the network
@dwr @_xyz congrats! are you building your own decentralized network of nodes or relying on an existing one?
@dwr @_xyz congratulations dan 👏
great stuff! excited for the future of @_xyz and congratulations @dwr 👏 https://t.co/y1pzzornt0
@dwr @_xyz wahoo!!! congrats 🔥
@dwr @_xyz congrats!!
@katherineykwu @_xyz @dwr influencer vibes
@katherineykwu @_xyz @dwr welcome to the community.
@dwr @_xyz awesome news — congrats!
i'm so happy for @dwr @varunsrin and @_xyz team. i met @dwr months ago, and thanks to , i met my co-founder @pkayfire in la. we are now excited to build with them in the coming months as a company (tba). it's a magical time to join @_xyz.
is a wonderful community, and varun and dan are very thoughtful founders. lots of people talk in the web3, but this crew has been steadily building. highly recommend taking a look if you haven't yet.
