> mocking other projects that have been way more successful is wrong that's where we disagree. I will happily mock bad designs. should I give praise to facebook because of their excellent marketing? what? no, I will criticize nonsense and bs marketing, especially when the project is decentralized in name only.

Information is matter and energy… in formation.

Not seeing why they have to. They could let the individual tusks decided for themselves deleting content illegal for them to host. They don't though. Then again is another beast where the users seem to want it. 🤷‍♀️

is the expectation that the client servers would always look at the whole network?

I have a large bag of seeds I collected before I went carnivore. They're probably 6+ years old now I'd wager most are no longer viable. If you're not growing annuals each year & refreshing the seeds, they tend to become useless. I don't eat most vegetables now so it's not a huge loss for me. The good thing about the genetics I connect now is that they're stored living perennial plants. As long as the plant survives, so do the genetics. As I was driving back from the markets I couldn't help but draw similarities between genetics & information. We can share genetics with others infinitely. Like sharing ideas & information, it comes at very little cost.

Will was not around when we built nostr, he came to it quite late. I totally agree that his work on damus was, and continues to be instrumental. As I say he is one of the better ones. But the group think is around slagging off projects like blue sky and not trying to learn and make nostr better. Mocking other projects that have been way more successful is wrong. It should be rejected. Nostr needs to transform from an insular project to a collaborative one. It's the only way forward.

That would be nice at point-of-sale. The cash register displays a QR-code encoding a bitcoin address and amount on a screen and you photo it with your mobile.

Bluesky separates the concept of the server that hosts your posts from the server(s) that clients connect to to fetch posts to display. The second group of servers intends to connect to every possible first group and download everything. It’s not like nostr where relays don’t sync.

Yes and the design of the system is very much that. There’s still work to go but just saying it isn’t and writing it off is naive imo.

Seeing how fit Tyson is at 58, kind of surprising he didn’t launch a fitness brand. Would be a good fit i think. Could go beyond apparel - into supplements and gym equipment. I mean, his nickname IS iron Mike …

Bluesky’s separation of moderation from hosting does reduce the chance of that pretty substantially. Unlike mastodon, where everyone is constantly screaming for servers to block each other, users can opt to do so without the operator taking that decision. Sure, the operator could as well, but the fact that they don’t have to (even if they think the content is objectionable) is pretty important imo. But the only thing that sets nostr apart here is that clients connect to multiple servers. That’s….a very simple feature to add to any social protocol? They could just add that and be done with it and then we’d have nothing. Not sure they will, but…

the irony spiral seems to just keep going and going

it was hard to watch. Sacrifice legacy for fiat. Really tragic

yeah relay innovation and focus is a great step 1, 2 and 3

Imagine protests in the West, with lefties against the war ending 😆

sync all data? from where? sorry, i guess i'm learning still.

this is nothing to do with the nostr client.

Ok wasn’t sure. It seemed at odds with what you said. But regardless if you come up with a good strategy that’s aligned with your needs I’d be interested to hear the breakdown if you think it’s valuable. The optimum split versus the savings versus the monthly obligations might be an interesting topic for exploring.

Hope they do but many may fear they'll start from nothing more than a server and no connections if Bluesky deems them dangerous for whatever reason. Take the risk and self censor with Bluesky for access to more content, or build on nostr and allow total freedom knowing you'll be able to connect to at leased %90 of the more limited user base.
