Woopdi doo they made a protocol that technically can be decentralized later on. Doesn't mean it is and they continue to significantly reduce the chances of it ever becoming freedom tech. It's still a twitter with no evidence that will change yet. I HOPE IM WRONG. Idc if it's nostr or bluebird I want to see government/elite resistant freedom tech and that shit is hard to build. How many Blockchains can be decentralized but aren't.

P

ironic. aren't you the master of stone throwing?

youtube is ceasing to be good at the only thing its for

Yeah I understand that. Thanks for your input.

What other kind of bots were on Twitter that you wish we had on nostr?

Not quite everyone, Rabble is very good. Will IMHO is one of the better ones, but he is certainly in the group that would rather throw stones, than look and learn, and make nostr better. It's sad that this toxic positivity has taken over so much developement to the extent where it's hard for nostr to improve. Bluesky did a lot of things well. Especially growth. They invested in infrastructure and it paid off big. They created a great UX with simple features that users wanted. Nostr does have a large investment 10s of millions from the foundations via jack. Its silly to say that nostr has to be 100x smaller than other protocols because reasons. Nonetheless there are some good projects in nostr outside of damus. Ditto and nos.social are two projects looking to learn and build bridges. Also chachi chat is great. I would target investment in the outward looking projects, rather than folks that want to mock projects that were smaller and grew 100x bigger.

Sure. But when did bluesky start?….

Zapping 1,000 npubs in progress https://www.nostrzap.com/npub1vwvwzh35zm0qjwuk8j3c0q7j5e4fv47tpr9m5ncz23kd64dk7xjq0r9tm0 nostr:note1yfqkcpw6kj98e5tdy569pqaynamnldwq2g2pthuknn2jk0ce983q2qkuum

Meh, every protocol starts with one client. That doesn’t mean progress hasn’t been made (most of the backend stack can be self-hosted with all the same data as the “official” backend, except one part AFAIU, which required a lot of work), nor that more progress won’t be made. Yea, Bluesky has moderation, but that doesn’t mean it’s some centralized censored crap - especially if they manage to decentralize further and lean into the decentralized opt-in moderation design they have!

Yea, sustainability is definitely a big question, I assume at some point they’ll have to add ads (or a premium option) like everyone else. If they manage to redundant’ize the hosting before then (assuming that’s something they want), though, they may end up just eating all of nostr’s features….

People complaining here are probably just salty Bluesky is doing better numbers, and that the majority of users don’t care as much about the things they feel people should care about. Turns out most people just want to post about their lives without being attacked by nazis and bots.

I disagree. Anything that is a “protocol” but has only one client isn’t a protocol or decentralized. It’s not intellectually lazy, it’s just true. The fact that censorship is possible at all is a contra facto against bluesky.

Don't let short term price action excitement cause you to toss aside your long term goals you set. Chamath has lamented on the most recent All in podcast, all the bitcoins he has sold leading up to this current price action. #bitcoin

Why not?

Absolutely! 🙌 They’ve been grinding hard on their decentralization goals and dismissing it as “Web 2.0 centralized crap” is just a lazy take. Let’s give credit where it’s due! 💪🔥 #Progress #Decentralization

Stainless steel or cast iron only, friends. And switch out that plastic spatula for a steel or wooden one while you're at it. Easy swaps that will reduce your toxin load!

Package pickup you say??? 👀👀

My main annoyance with a while back I checked in on it for some months and the discord felt like nothing was happening, and that it was a big tech project with no spirit. SourceCode repos were tumbleweeds. So them at some point they built out this thing which is in the marketing sense decentralized. Meanwhile the speed and algo layer is all due to some huge hidden compute cost which is being paid by someone/VC. Feels like a trap. I'm checking it out and enjoying it but my key reservation is with hidden cost and ownership. Feels like my persona there is a product. The nostr response that is like to see, if there is one, is for all the big relays to go paid and let us know and pay the cost of a bulletproof social network.

Soon you’re gonna be able to afford a medium USA home for 0.001 (100.000 sats) It’s not me who says, it’s the math! Buy #bitcoin

Alright, nice chatting with you 👍
