Oddbean new post about login | logout Bluesky only works with Bluesky's own code. Thanks for reading my paper. nostr:nevent1qqs90yp42d0j0cfnj5r7ugjcdhtgcah9t02h9aa2flrhrfc8yy0jl6gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygrkcud2uwjfruweamz8ewshug5umfq38g9mkmn2u9mk6ajru2w2lgpsgqqqqqqsf35982
bluesky's code is awful, also, and it uses CBOR which is why i was hostile to the idea of nostr binary wire encoding using it, idgaf RFC, shitheads are using it and i had to deal with the awful, excessively complex data structure they used... (to be honest i don't really want to see nostr move to a binary codec unless it's fully bespoke designed just for nostr because of all the shitty metadata crap that we don't need)

Makes sense to a certain extent, for obviously illegal content
"Illegal"
We’ve submitted a proposal to an international society to organize a conference on decentralized social networks, with Nostr as the main topic. Fortunately, the proposal has been approved, and we’re now working out the details. I’m actively trying to align the conference dates and location with next year’s Nostr events. The goal is to introduce Nostr to academics and promote further research. Hope everything goes well.
