Bluesky folks conflate “cryptobros”, “NFTs”, “blockchain”, “trusting the banks” with nostr. Yugely successful psy-op.
They also say you have to 'pay in crypto to use nostr'. I think this is partly some of them being deliberately disingenuous and their usual snarky 2010 twitter tone. And partly cos the nip05 verification thing is confusing. But I wonder how that message spreads and how effective it is to put people off
One person claimed to be outraged at BS admins banning a Palestinian doctor. Said person laughed off nostr because “cryptobros”. My assessment is that this person cares not about Palestinian doctors, nor censorship resistance. That said, I think many BS people would be open to learning they have been misled about nostr. Nostr marketing is worse than $23M Bluesky psy-ops for some folks, today.
By us or them? 😂
