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.

That's why Nostr is far better.

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.
