Oddbean new post about login | logout Where do you disagree? I'm honestly very confused about the differences between Nostr and Bkuesky and your views on each of them. Your enthusiasm for Nostr is noteworthy given your significant involvement in Bluesky.
Bluesky is built around the desire by people to avoid each other. Nostr is designed to bring people together.
I'd say this about mastodon, not blue sky. There are no private accounts or posts on blue sky. Not even dm's (yet?)
No, but they are heavy into blocking by default there. So much so that people define their personalities by it. https://image.nostr.build/0855e6d131307945890b11fd2e247c4f2526c3073a03e25e822ca44e3b927944.jpg
they just being people. much better to block than ban imo. is this different on nostr?
Yes. Blocking here doesn’t exist. If I mute you, you can still see my posts and I can still choose to see yours. On Bluesky if I were to block you, not only would I appear to not exist to you, but any posts you had written as replies to me or tagging me would be removed from your feed as if you had never posted them. It’s basically a form of censorship where other random people can hide your posts so even you can’t see them.
seems broken imo. people block for all kinds of reasons, that version leaves no room for recovery. maybe they'll reconsider it. https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/1809 or maybe a fork is needed
The only fork Bluesky needs is the one you stick in it after it’s done cooking.
