bitcoin core & nostr dev. I built damus, a nostr client for iOS: https://damus.io/appstore nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:jb55@jb55.com

Overall this has been pretty disappointing. Uninstalling. You can find me on #nostr โœŒ๏ธ

Damus alone has 257k installs according to apple, and we are only one client of many. Keep making up numbers though if that makes yourself feel better.

How do I move my data and connections to a different server if i am banned? What good are the connections if they are all bluesky and not freesky users?

Mastodon had fundamental architectural flaws: not being able to migrate your social graph and the non-uniformity of post distribution. nostr fixes both of these. If your social graph is tied up in bluesky and not freesky, and you need to run a PDS, i dont see how either is fixed here

If Bluesky, the company, adopts server-side or client-side moderation, it will be no different from Twitter or other centralized networks.

I would like to know this as well. This is something that is very natural in nostr and is easy as spinning up a new relay and pointing your client at it.

08.05.2023 13:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We have 500k+ users on relays that are actually decentralized. nostr is not a product, its a protocol, and there are 30+ clients. UX is something can be improved over time, not foundational architectural flaws. bluesky does seem like a scam in comparison.

If itโ€™s a protocol Iโ€™m a fan! Iโ€™m not married to any particular technology. I just like to see non centralized solutions flourish and am curious how they can interoperate.

Oh it does have a dark mode it just doesnโ€™t respond to system settings :/

Yes. nostr is not for one subculture, itโ€™s for everyone.

Who decides the culture? The early adopters? Seems artificially limiting. Need to build tools that allow different cultures to exist simultaneously. Its the only thing that will scale these networks to the point they can take over centralized solutions. Unless thatโ€™s not the goal.

Someone built a bridge between nostr and activitypub and it is great! Modulo a few quirky people.

Harmful in what sense?
