🍾
He should get off twitter and lead nostr by example
actions speak louder than words
I am willing to bet board diretor was a terrible use of nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m's time.
Do people use bluesky? I remember it was all the craze with the .eth types.
Judge an emerging social network by the tech, not the community. Community vibes change wildly as the network grows, as has happened here and over there. That said, the clients are very polished and custom feeds are amazing and work great. The self-moderation tools, however, are questionable. We’ll see where that goes and how it affects the culture and growth.
As for the community itself, there’s very little crypto talk over there. The larger community hates it and always has, but there’s a growing Bitcoin community slowly coming out of the woodwork. If I had to guess, bitcoiners far outnumber the .eth crowd on Bluesky.
Fuck No 😂
What are your feelings about that?
No surprise. Focus on better stuff.
I had totally forgotten blue sky existed
More time for Bitcoin and Nostr.
Look at the comments, apparently no one there will miss him.
The replies lmao. Bluesky appears 🤡🌎
oh no they need funding
all of the experiments and iterations help us figure out the best future options
The Sky has fallen.
Buhbye Bluesky ⚡️💛🚀
🫱🏼🫲🏿
Here’s a bit more context. Or at least a news article.

i really hope bsky doesnt end up like pebble
I did try and talk to Gabor about the value of open protocols and how t2 ni Pebble should consider building it open. I shared my research in to open protocols. I genuinely wanted him to succeed but as an open project.
It seems that only a few are genuinely interested in building based on an open-protocol, and the rest want to gain control and maybe dress on the openness if it fits the marketing strategy.
It may require exceptional level of clarity and vision to use open-protocol to capture enough value to sustain the business effort of building it. The VC money is also not attracted to less than brilliant cases and it’s easier to pitch/build another Twitter/X etc. clone with the hockey stick growth projections.
Pourtant jack vient de dire sur C'est sur Nostr
Pourtant jack vient de le dire
No links to Nostr? The Verge clearly didn’t do their homework. Jack explained here why he unfollowed everyone. And I don’t think he was referring to X as “freedom tech”.
Bluesky is a great project to learn from. Their investment in infrastructure paid off with big growth and a great UX. They have become more open over time. #nostr still has the potential if it can "out-open" them, by transitioning from a 1 person hobby project to a completely open, transparent community (work is ongoing there). Then use bluesky as market research of what is possible with great infrastructure, great ux, great content, and great growth (where nostr is lagging).
What 1 thing do you think that makes bluesky stand out?
Infrastructure
In what sense? Could you tell 2 sentences like I'm 5?
Bluesky have invested in professional infrastructure (good servers) that can handle millions of users. Nostr is mainly an unfunded hobby network, which can only take you so far.
Thanks! So you say lagging infrastructure is the base cause of the current state?
Likely a combination of things, but you asked me to pick one. Better infra is an easy win, for example nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f could earmark 1% of their nostr fund to help the relay network. That would be a nice touch.
Did:PLC is super pragmatic. It allows users to not need to understand private keys
How about nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 filling the open board position?
board of directors 🤡 😅 🤣
So he's going all in on Nostr now?
The comments 😂
