Oddbean new post about login | logout Nostr is not competing with Bluesky. Nostr is the entire internet identity layer encompassing many more use cases. Trustworthy identity without identification. Bluesky is not solving this.
absolutely Media always refers to it as Jack's Bluesky 🙄 Thank you for the mute button nostr MSDNCBluesky
It’s especially funny that he left Bluesky board.
yeah weve known that, they haven't caught up 😂
Yeah 🤙
Totally agree ... funny thing is ... I've been thinking about #profileReputation. some sort of combo of profile age & some sort of post count or something... posting / tagging here, for anyone else thinking about it ... and wants to thread some thoughts.
I think reputation and trust go hand in hand. I like the web of trust concepts, where global trust scores don’t mean as much. We’ve found in the last few years that we vary in major ways by how much each of us trust public authority figures with established credentials or various conspiracy theorists. I don’t think it’s a stretch to find two people who sort a given list in exactly opposite directions. People are also incredibly ingenious about gaming reputation systems. If given enough time we tend to produce a situation where everyone is suspect and we just end up with zero reputation all round, then resort to buying standing and pretend it’s meritocratic. We should try to avoid the trap of social scores and any scoring authority, even in algorithmic form. I don’t have any solutions though, only wishes.
100% agree with everything you’re suggesting. Any “gameable” system or even a dictated system is problematic… I was looking at this site & thinking it’s gonna get figured out eventually https://www.nostr.directory
I was never into social media very much. Just landed in nostr and I can feel something intangible about it that is not only ridiculously appealing as it also itches me to think about big projects to make use of the protocol. AI didn’t get me this excited about a technology. The last thing I felt this motivated about something was when I first read the bitcoin blueprint. I can’t put my finger on what use case exactly, but I feel like nostr is destined to change the world.
Very well said.....cheers
