Whoever wins between #nostr and #pubky, I can’t lose since I’ve got both. The nsecs are the same in each systems. It’s like having both an Android and an iPhone; either way, I get the best of both worlds. But then it hit me – we just recreated walled gardens all over again. Why can’t these systems work together seamlessly? How did we end up back here, building fences instead of bridges?
Great; something else I need to track. Why can't we blend #nostr and #pubky?
Yes, we should. Users will win. But I think developers feel they will lose something. I dont know, it is strange.
feels like a win to me 🤙🏼
it is strange; perhaps it is folly to hope for anything to be universal and 'villages' of common practice are inevitable.
Hyperlinks are universial. The U in URL stands for universal really. But it is also uniform. Everyone uses it the same way. Which is why the web won. Nostr is an http upgrade protocol so it inherits some of that from the parent protocol. Network effect still play a role.
PS your comment reminds me of marshall mcluhan!
the medium is the message!
I have a copy of War and Peace in the Global Village. Quite a work.
I think it is probably very easy to build a service that send to your homeserver all of your notes (for permanent storage and discoverability). It will also be pretty easy to send as notes events from a homeserver. Difficulty will vary for each app.
Given that both protocols are open and neither has internal walled gardens, I'd be surprise if these "conversion" tools don't exist by mid next year.
Could you share a link with more info about this pubky?
It’s because everyone wants to be top dog
