great article! very easy to read and very fluid. I didn't really get how the people on bluesky misinterpreted the first article saying he left because of the content on bluesky. from what I recall from the first article, jack's team recruited a developer to create a protocol on which twitter can anchor itself, to address different problems twitter was facing. the developer ended up creating a company with a board, becoming its CEO, and establishing a service layer that aim to replace twitter. it's kinda normal to feel dissatisfied with how things unfolded?
nostr:npub1f4faufazfl4cf43c893wx5ppnlqfu4evy2shc4p9gknfe56mqelsc5f7ql has a really good article about nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m’s leaving the Bluesky board, support of Nostr, and the recent interview.
I mostly agree with the article but I think there’s more than just that Bluesky is taking on a corporate platform prespective with the roll out of the atproto. It’s that Bluesky is engaged in a kind of closed protocol design that feels heavy like xml and java. It’s open source like Android is…
My hope is that nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch can be the super easy to use for normies app for Nostr. We’ve got a much bigger and more interesting ecosystem of apps. Nostr is a lot easier to work with than atproto for developers. But it’s also super confusing to new users. Wallet setup is hard, registering a username is hard, understanding how to login to nostr web apps with browser extensions is hard. We can solve these problems, but it takes work.
We’re about to launch the creator and journalism residencies to help bring a diversity of content beyond our core bitcoiner community which is sustaining Nostr.
