I just want this NIH syndrome to stop. We have ActivityPub for server centric federated social network, and Nostr for a virtually serverless and nomadic experience. No need for ATProto, just integrate with Nostr!
Sure, I do not mind experimenting with protocols.
My problem is that today one needs 4-5 different apps. Bluesky should evaluate allowing federation with Nostr (very similar to their implementation) or ActivityPub (perhaps a bit harder from a technical point of view, although we have bridges already, so definitely doable).
Also, let's be honest; since Threads started to grow, Bluesky feels a bit of a dead town. I was an early adopter (joined before the 1mil user count), and out of almost 200 followers, I had 4-5 active and the rest just dormant. I ended up leaving as well a few weeks ago, and it's sad because the UX of Bluesky is miles ahead of Mastodon, and their onboarding is fantastic compared to Nostr.
I do not want it to end up like other Twitter-alternatives, which either went offline or are dead. The Bluesky team has done an amazing work. I wonder if it would made more sense to port their know-how on Nostr instead of keep going on this road.
Funny how this extended pride flag uses the same schema of the Jordanian kingdom (and the fantasy state of Palestine), where we know lgbtq+ people have *so many* rights and freedoms…
I wonder if you’ll push Elon to adopt Nostr in Twitter/X. I mean, he’s pretty invested in crypto already, so Nostr would be a natural fit for X, plus it would shut up his detractors who call him a fascist.
I think that we need importers instead of bridges.
Like, one should be able to import an export from mastodon here and bring over all their posting history.
Pixelfed did it for instagram exports and it boosted the activity over there.
