The development ethos over here feels so much more open and driven. Things happen faster, development is moving at a rapid pace and devs are willing to just try new things without discussing it to death first.

I’m also pretty active (no where near as much as here) on Bluesky and was one of the first 1000 users let in (evan.best over there), but it feels far more sterile, development moves a lot slower, and everything feels far more deliberate and centralized (so far?).

That said, they’ve definitely gotten a few things right. Domains as usernames is great, and FAR easier to configure than NIP-05. Their interface is also far more polished than any nostr client I’ve used, albeit limited in functionality.
