Deleted my account there, so I don’t know what they’re doing. 

 Social network for the NPCs who like censorship and government propaganda 

 yeah, they are riding the wave of Elon hate pretty well, grouping up all those people on their centralized platform 

 Cmon.  We both know "centralized" is a spectrum.  Nostr dev is pretty darn centralized rn.  As is the relay network.  Can we not just say the good things they are doing such as good UX, good onboarding, good infrastructure, good devX and try and improve nostr.  Instead of pretending nostr can be better without putting in the work? 

 Funny strange

I prefer GM's and GN's 🤷

 I know you are aware but I’ll say it anyway, Nostr is not a social media platform so Nostr isn’t competing with blue sky. Damus, Snort and the twitter clones are competing with blue sky. 

Let’s stop comparing nostr to socials and compare it with the web 

 New internet 

 only thing he can compare is AT protocol , other prop protocol of centralize platfoems with nostr

UI APP RELAY - are infinite maybe compare that meta server n app 

 Nostr is so much more than an X alternative. 

 The custom feeds are the best part. For a period of time, I thought Nostr DVMs could compete, but it seems that people have kinda moved on from that idea idk 

 As I understand it, this is due to X no longer blocking a user's posts from accounts that user has blocked.  So, I guess this is something Bluesky does?  Is obscuring nostr events from npubs that have been muted even feasible; let alone really desired? 

 No 

 Everyone is so mean to me on Blue Sky. 

 They are insufferable. An entire community that just thrives on blocking other people. Don’t dare talk about bitcoin over there, or they’ll call you a Nazi and tell you to kill yourself. 

 Since I saw a post that literally said: “Trans children don't exist” tagged for hate speech, I realized that this isn't the way to go 

 Can you provide an example? 

 It's easier for new users.  So they are growing and retaining users.  For example bluesky started off smaller than nostr.  Today they got more users in 1 hour then nostr did in it's entire 4 years.  They also have good infrastructure.  Many more things can be learnt.

They have still some work to do on their infra (IT'S A PLATFORM!).
With Nostr we don't have to.

 This is likely a large number of totalitarian leftists abandoning Twitter due to the changes in blocking behavior. 

 Nostr is not about quantity. 🫂 https://image.nostr.build/688bd69eb5785bafbaf4396bbf672e40ba5cdc08d14070922cd8a018abd612e0.gif 

 I don't think bluesky is a good heuristic to determine "the right thing to do" to nostr to gain users. 

between X, Bluesky, and nostr; nostr is the only one where I have gained followers, and had productive and engaging conversations.

the quality here vastly outweighs the quantity of brain rot over there.
