Nostr and Bluesky have far more technically in common than either have with Mastodon, but their social development has created two communities that are about as polar opposite as they can get.

It’s fascinating to be active in both.

what do they have in common besides public keys (that are hidden and useless on bluesky)?

Uh, my post outlined a bunch of things they have in common beyond using public keys…

Perhaps you’re reacting to how they’re both open source but one’s cathedral and the other bazaar, or maybe the difference in user community in norms, or the way currently Nostr is permissionless and bluesky’s version of the atprotocol is permissioned right now.

well, the main problem is that you and everybody else (like the people who wrote the article) keep saying they will eventually decentralize and become open, but the fact is that they can't

to become decentralized they have to either be exactly like nostr or they must have some new quantum leap idea that no one has had yet
