Nostr & Bluesky are two of the most exciting projects in social 💜💙

The general public has little to no understanding of what it means for the social media experience to exist on open source decentralized protocols.

But Bluesky and Nostr will allow the GP to experience it all firsthand.

This is really exciting stuff. Honestly, nothing beats being early. (Granted I’m a little later than most folks here given that I joined both of these protocols around the same time —roughly 2 1/2 weeks ago 😅)

The experience on each of these protocols is vastly different and they serve different audiences for the most part, currently. But I’m sure they will continue to generalize and diversify over time.

It was cool to see #[0]​ address a lot regarding his stance on how social media should exist and who should own it 🫂

Following the fluctuating state of Twitter during the reign of Elon, many have found plenty of opportunity to condemn Jack. But what is probably more productive is to look to the future to see how lessons can be learned from past mistakes and how things can change. After all, hindsight is 20/20. Most people that have harsh things to say about how Jack handled the transfer of power of Twitter don’t have a clue. It’s not every day that one founds and successfully runs one of the most monumental, culturally relevant companies in history. (I’m wishfully thinking there might be a documentary or docuseries of sorts detailing the rise and transformation of Twitter 👀)

I’m really inspired by and proud of the leaders, builders, team members, developers, investors, and community members that make these ecosystems sustainable and make these experiences worthwhile.

Here’s to continuing to push the limits of what’s possible as the world of social continues to evolve 🤝

What are your thoughts on Bluesky? What are your thoughts on Nostr? And how do you see these protocols revolutionizing the social experience?

What’s bluesky about?

#Bluesky is essentially the open source decentralized version of #Twitter, built on the AT Protocol. It’s in beta right now and probably doesn’t have more than 100,000 users at the moment. I’m liking it so far despite some of the whininess lol

If you happen to find yourself with an extra invite code, I’d love to check it out.

I haven’t gotten any invite codes yet. They’ve become even more strict with handing them out, so I don’t even know when I will get one

No worries! Appreciate the response!

What clients do you use to access bluesky?

I use the iOS mobile app

I hope to be able to participate as well. How can I obtain an Bluesky invite soon?

Thoughts on Farcaster? All the ETH maxis are glowing about it.

I think you answered your own question?

Burn

Lol

Funny Jack is my favorite Jack

monologue versus dialog - monologues are performative, dialog is an exchange. reciprocal. and real questions are short.

ETH is just a casino with higher risks and there’s nothing wrong that but to tout it as anything other than that is purely deceptive.🎰🤑

All ETH maxi’s *glow* until they get rug pulled. And when they do the Bitcoin Community will be here to welcome them with open arms.🧡💜

Lol that’s very real. I participate in the #ETH world (don’t fight me 😅🫣) and I’m fortunate enough to have made a ton of money and never to have been rugged. Granted, I’ve also made a ton on #doge so 🤷🏾‍♀️ lol

But yeh #Bitcoin is really where it’s at when it comes to most useful application and stability. I’m Nigerian and it’s essential back home. So I’m stackin sats as they say til the cows come home

You know people who use #Bitcoin in #Nigeria ? There have been a couple posts by people who think stablecoins are more useful. I'd like to pick your brain

I can see the argument for stable coins because the naira fluctuates so much. Bitcoin is more commonly used there tho

I'm curious about it. Let me know if you find it to work well.

It’s ok, I’m not inclined to use it much tbh

Yeh I really wanted to get on there because I come from the ETH / NFT world, but since I’ve been invited, I haven’t used it in weeks. Idk I might give it another try. Y’all got me hooked over here lol. That’s the power of community and #Bitcoin I suppose 🤗

Wow! That's awesome. It really will come down to the community. Although I worry that anything with a company behind it will end up with similar problems seen in traditional social: success and scale at the cost of the user's humanity

Agreed! And that’s why protocols that nobody owns or controls will always trump platforms

I haven't heard of it. Just looked it up. Why does anything with Ethereum say "sufficiently decentralized"? Creeps me out.

If you’re not into Ethereum, then you most likely will not be into Farcaster

I figured they were compromising a lot. Eth compromises the most important aspects (to me) so ... 🤷‍♂️ Guess Farcaster is the same. Maybe? Idk since it's only for the insiders.

The Fediverse has existed before Nostr or Bluesky. I'm really digging Nostr but I see no reason to use Bluesky over joining the Fediverse.
