Found this interesting podcast with nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 and nostr:npub1kuy0wwf0tzzqvgfv8zpw0vaupkds3430jhapwrgfjyn7ecnhpe0qj9kdj8 on differences between nostr and Bluesky

So Bluesky and nostr developers have similar backgrounds and objectives but took different paths

Bluesky went for replicating Twitter services on a decentralized protocol built around existing protocols

This approach led to relative complexity which hinders the pace of decentralization

The protocol stores identities on servers, so users can login using emails and passwords

Now I kinda understand that the heavy lifting placed on nostr clients is because the key management is local

Bluesky had a lot of publicity which made open collaboration difficult

Whereas nostr took everyone by surprise

Having used nostr for only a few weeks I don't think I could go back to remotely stored / managed identities

Not your keys not your notes

It's a paradigm shift
