What "awkward" coordination? Clients fetch updates from whatever servers they follow.

Same thing with email that you've been using for decades, doesn't get simpler than that.

Just like a RSS feed client or a podcast client that connects to multiple feeds to update your timeline.

> decentralization of power

Insightful! We struggle with containing true decentralised protocols like BGP, Bittorrent, and Bitcoin.

Email, RSS, and also Nostr are too simple. The core protocol does not contain any measures against spam, abuse and fraud. No accountability. Just launch a million fake identities and spam these network. Your Internet address got blocked? Try the a16z-funded startup that uses a USA-based phone farm. Decentralised accountability is unsolved.

My university lab has focused on decentralisation for decades, its hard. We need a decentralised trust framework (e.g. our TrustChain protocol), decentralised spam prevention (StarveSpam) and decentralised democracy (our TwoStepDemocracy protocol). Getting this deployed and do iterative improvements needs more resources then universities have. Another coordination problem for The Common Good.
