"Jack Dorsey quit Bluesky and has been focusing on Nostr (which I can best describe as "a more uncomfortable version of Secure Scuttlebutt for Bitcoin people to talk about Bitcoin")."

This is a good article.
The answer is: Bluesky solves this problem via centralization. Since there is really just one very large relay which everyone is expected to participate in, this relay has a god's-eye knowledge base. Entities which sort through mail and relevant replies for users are AppViews, which pull from the relay and also have a god's-eye knowledge base, and also do filtering. So too do any other number of services which participate in the network: they must operate at the level of gods rather than mortals.
What you see from the article, is that:
Everywhere else, relays are the problem.
On Nostr, relays are the solution.
it's incredible they don't consider the idea that there doesn't need to be a global
Well, have you forgotten how many people muted me, for wanting custom relays? Remember the whole censorship debate and the dickpick episode?
i don't remember the dickpic episode but i certainly bumped into some nonsense once or twice
anyway, yeah, it's just becoming normal now, and clients have caches of all the relays and add any new ones you add to it, it seems, even when you log out and remove its data
i mean, my relay now even lets me automatically control who can post to my relay and because of nip-65, i am actually getting people posting their events to my relay who are on my follow list
Well, I guess nobody was sending you dickpicks. 😂
It's amazing how peacefull and family-friendly Nostr is, now. It used to sometimes feel like a warzone because of the lack of customizable relays and outboxes. Everyone was on lol and band, so perverts and scammers and spammers could just hit everyone, with one fell swoop. Now, they have to cross a bunch of gates and hunt us all, individually, and that effectively shuts most of them down, by increasing the effort.
my first nostr gig was helping build sprockets for access control with strfry for cloudfodder
it was and always has been the axe i've been grinding the whole of this year... wen auth... etc
The outbox model being widespread would end the "can't see the message" problem. Frustrating, how slow the implementation has been.
Reading this article just made me crazy bullish because it costs nearly zero money and zero technical expertise to run a Nostr relay, now, and the cost is rapidly dropping, so that we could put relays even into embedded systems and e-paper readers and smart watches.
So friggin bullshit on Nostr.
So funking bullshit!
Can have node in fone! Has node in fone!
Bullshit as funk! 😎
I know, right? I'm legit collecting relays all over out devices and remote servers. Feels like shoe shopping.
Relay for every mood.
Won't relays need tonnes of compute/storage resources to process millions of users at some point?
Yes, but it will be distributed very thinly and mostly be consuming currently idle resources. Also, each relay is it's own separate, slightly-overlapping dataset. No relay needs to contain lots of events. There's actually no point to that, once you have outboxes, communities, performant search, and deep-discovery.
Centralized relays is old tech, basically.
Ah, I didn't realise bluesky was run by a woman. Failure is inevitable then.

That network is a paradise for child predators. Zero surprises it gets so much support on left-wing media.
This details are one of the biggest turnoffs for me. And I haven't give Bluesky app a try but I do use https://mostr.pub/ to bridge my posts and follow people from odher "verses"
You left out the bit about it being bad vibes!
SCUTTLEBUTT MAXI
I think artist dont care about which platform jack support. all the care is bluesky is new platform with better regulation for them than Twitter for upload contents and make money. the phrase "Jack support bluesky" just pros but not key for decision for them. I also see some artist I know talking about blue sky. bluesky allow artist do something the want than other platform
Is it possible to make a Bluesky relay that includes only selected accounts? Why would I need 5 terabytes for that? Surely hosting all posts in NOSTR would be impossible too.
Nostr is the way to go, I’m the co founder of Oviato.com a creator tool for Bitcoin ordinals. And we are banking big on Nostr to build a fair launchpad for ordinals and other Bitcoin meta protocols. Nostr FTW!
Nice! Agreed, I too am placing a lot of emphasis on Nostr and believe as more people wake up to what it affords the world, we'll see its growth sky rocket.
