When hours of technical glitches occurred on Twitter on Wednesday, Dorsey expressed frustration on Nostr.
Dorsey's comments
Dorsey has been posting frequently in Nostr. Twitter Inc. co-founder Jack Dorsey has joined a new social network and is using it to target Twitter's new owner Elon Musk.
“Used to be when anything went down, people went to Twitter to talk about it. Now look,”. Dorsey posted on his Nostr profile, which is identifiable by information he posted on his Twitter bio. He added later: “Twitter went from real time to 1 minute delay,” an apparent reference to a glitch that briefly prevented users from tweeting normally but allowed scheduling a tweet to post later.
Dorsey's comments are notable as the two businessmen appear to have had a friendly relationship, with Dorsey initially rooting for Musk's takeover.
Dorsey has largely not publicly criticized Musk's tenure on Twitter. He only tweeted critically about the renaming of Twitter's fact-checking feature to Community Notes, which Dorsey said was "the most boring Facebook name ever" from Birdwatch.
Last year, Dorsey tried to facilitate Musk's takeover of Twitter, according to court documents released as part of a lawsuit over a planned billionaire takeover. Documents show that Dorsey exchanged text messages with Musk and helped arrange a phone call between Musk and Parag Agrawal, who was Twitter's chief executive at the time.
Nostra and more
Dorsey Nostr's interest is consistent with his recent statements about making social media more decentralized and immune to what he called corporate and government control. In a December blog post, Dorsey said he blamed himself for giving Twitter too much power to regulate speech.
Nostr is not the only project recently promoted by Dorsey. He said in a December blog post that he plans to donate $1 million a year to Signal, a messaging app, and will be giving grants to projects focused on open internet and protocol work.

Ford CEO Jim Farley said in a virtual meeting at City Hall on Thursday morning that he was working to simplify targets and performance metrics for employees, according to those present.
Farley told the meeting that tackling broader issues at Ford could not be done on one level and that clearer ways were needed to help individual employees understand what they needed. do to contribute to the overarching objectives of the car manufacturer.
Directors said supply chain issues and structural inefficiencies continued to hold back the company's progress.

Farley also pointed to vehicle quality issues that cost Ford warranty claims and recalls, and said that in some areas the company was employing too many people for the number of cars it produced.
In an attempt to streamline the business, Ford laid off thousands of white-collar workers last year, and Ford's chief financial officer, John Lawler, signaled last week in a pay talk that more job cuts could follow. Ford also shut down its Argo AI autonomous driving venture last year, a project that was initiated years ago by another CEO.
