Brazil's X ban is sending lots of people to Bluesky

I am surprised no one mentioned nostr.

https://nostr.com/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostr

supposedly more distributed and censorship resistant than bsky. https://thenewstack.io/bluesky-vs-nostr-which-should-develop...

Nostr is a protocol. Bluesky is a product.

> It's OK. Liberals, lefties and pseudo-rebels tend to jump from one walled garden to another.

It is very difficult to take a statement seriously when it includes sweeping politicized generalizations like this.

And yet it is what happens. Humans do generalize based on repeated pattern observation.

Get used to it.

Well, with that convincing argument of a data-free vibes based reality, you have won me over good sir.

I tried it and was shortly spammed with crypto-bro messages. Interesting tech but a bad product.

That's why Nostr is far better.

Nostr is not a product.

I use it daily and I very very rarely see spam messages.

Um.. compare nostr to atproto, not bluesky.

They take very different approaches even if they have similar goals.

Neither is better I think unless you want to get fanboy tribal. It is to be seen what apps will scale and gain adoption for each, though bluesky having a few mil in funding and normal users definitely puts it in the lead.

Speaking as someone funded in the crypto industry... nostr, IMHO, is dominated by BTC maxis and creating a monoculture around it, which will prevent adoption, b/c a social network isn't going to just be talk about NgU and HODL'ing all day.
