.Pirate Network States 🏴‍☠️

Sovereign Subreddits and TikToks, pseudonymous and provably human.

[.Pirate Network States 🏴‍☠️ @pirate_ns]

@balajis introduced The Network State, and every state requires a top-level domain (TLD), a definition of citizenship, and a place for citizens to coordinate.

.PIRATE is building that foundation on Handshake @HNS and @spacesprotocol.

Gate your state's subreddit with @ZKPassport, @selfxyz, @VeryAI, or @HumnPassport. Set eligibility, issue subdomains, and build an economy on @datafdn.

Become sovereign 🏴

@TeaganLoomis @zemotion The entire Western legal system couldn't do it for past 25 years, but maybe you can. Good luck!

@SamuelDeats 1930s, hello again

@zemotion Anna's Archive disagrees. Great for lawyers! But artists will get a few hundred bucks in 2-5 years. Symbolic yet futile. Scrapers will just move out of the jurisdictions

[.Pirate Network States 🏴‍☠️ @pirate_ns]

@zemotion "Taking legal action" is just a way to spend money pointlessly.

Anna's Archive runs at petabyte scale against the entire Western legal system.

AI scrapers are like pirates, they do not care about copyright. The only path requires aligning incentives between artists and fans.

@rhymincymon @XVdomain @domainsea @HNS_token @brave @AttentionToken @HNS @ensdomains @w0ts0n @shakeshift Thanks. I wrote this in 2022 and still like Handshake but also think to get past Metcalfe's Law, you need a server-side scale player to promote it and keep the DNS in sync as a way of closing that open race. https://t.co/JURw8lIRYh

Interesting conversation with a growth lead at a $100M+ ARR AI company. They run about a 100 seeded Reddit accounts driving 15M views/month, for them to be cited in top 3 of their category on Claude, GPT & Gemini.
LLM citations are the new mass discovery channel.

@adelghorbani @thsottiaux Same, I've never gotten one

[.Pirate Network States 🏴‍☠️ @pirate_ns]

@DuckDegen .eth is owned by Ethiopia, that's why they had to apply for the crappy alternative .ens

Same with .ton, which is owned by Tonga
