 Bluesky is murdering Nostr in terms of growth and activity. Bluesky also has a company marketing it and it's seen as an alternative to Twitter in the media. It's also very centralized. Nostr is not.

 Whoever wants to host it? We have a dozen image hosts plus people host their own and we have early blossom now.

 so a little bit of centralization if people don’t host their own

 I don't think having a dozen image hosts is centralized. If we had two, then sure, that would be a problem.

 Yeah but right now nostr.build and a couple others have wayyyyyyyyy too much market share. With blossom and NIP-92 there's at least potential redundancy, which is awesome.

 Thanks for the answer.
Who is the company behind Bluesky? US based I assume?

 Bluesky is the company behind the AT Protocol.

 People are also fleeing from Twitter to Bluesky, not rushing towards something new and innovative. That’s where Nostr has the edge in the long run, imo.
