Bluesky has done some incredible marketing and is a media darling. Googling Twitter alternatives gives you Mastodon and Bluesky all over the place. Nostr is by far an underdog sadly.

Yeah their marketing is tight
Very safe, very corporate, no mention of censorship resistance
They know their target audience
You are right, even Lula promoted BlueSky and made many of his followers migrate.
Mainstream tech channels don’t even mention nostr.
Another example: Bluesky hired one of the most famous JS developers who in this podcast says Jack Dorsey lost interest in Bluesky cause he’s “more focused in bitcoin things”.
Nostr hasn’t made it to the agenda yet.
The fact that bluesky has a CEO is all you need to know.
Not understanding? Bluesky code is all Open Source and available for anyone to run and build upon. Mastodon has a nonprofit and has a Owner but anyone can spin up a Mastodon instance and fork the software
So as a 'influencer' if either get pressured or shut down then people just build another social account on the new platform? Everyone will migrate with no loss of followers right? Right?
No need to when their data is store in a PDS and their identity is decentralised as Bluesky’s protocols used DIDs
Interesting. I will read the docs again. I read it last year and maybe I misunderstood. It was part of my decision to nostr.
Either way I'm grateful for options that have hope rather than centralised platforms. Whateverthosse platforms may be and whoever is on them.
Unfortunately, People don’t understand that media are created to support the controlling function over the population. Mkbhd will never mention nostr, Ever. - I hope at some point Mkbhd will prove me wrong. I would be happy to eat my words.
Quienes son esos ? 😅😂
Well there is this....

BlueSky is a corporation, #Nostr is a bunch of devs supported by OpenSats
What do you expect?
Maybe the CEO of Bitcoin and the CEO of Nostr can collab on some joint marketing
Then we users will promote #Nostr more strongly without falling into spam.
When the VC money dries up, its gone. *poof*
Wait until the financial crisis comes in, everyone wanna nostr cuz lightning. Also remember this thing called, MySpace? :D hehehe
