Unfortunately they went a bit too hard on focusing on a Twitter product and not developer community.
Discussion
Do you think they will catch-up and become a decentralized goto social media? Nostr is too crypto for the most people ..
I’m excited for nos.social for this reason, not for me but for those who feel this way
Bit as a Twitter product?!
You’re funny, Jack.
But if you mean a licensed commercial product to take responsibility, you bet, anything else would be irresponsible.
I appreciate your tempered takes, I’m probably too hard on them but the intention is the same
That’s exactly what I was saying on Twitter! Bluesky’s exciting to me for two reasons. Your emphasis on specification and documentation, and (because of that) the excitement amongst developers to contribute to the ecosystem.
This is the first “Twitter clone” that devs can extend, aside from Mastodon, and I can’t wait to see where it goes.
If you could only have one, would it be Bluesky or Nostr?
Are Bluesky and Nostr different? Searching tells me Jack's a major force behind both, but which is worth committing time and attention to? Are they the same thing and I'm dumb? Help a non-technical normie!
at protocol & nostr are quite different both in architecture and aspiration
The best thing to do is go through the documentation
Read the overviews here
NOSTR:
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr
AT PROTO:
https://atproto.com/guides/overview
And then I would recommend comparing the first 5 implication possibilities (NIPs) on nostr:
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips
To the identity / repo / lexicon / app sections of the docs on at proto:
it’s mostly plain English, you can still get a lot by just skimming past the json examples
Could we get some clarification on your involvement with Bluesky? Did you give up on them? You seem to really love Nostr.
How does Bluesky differ from NOSTR. Serious question. I haven’t been keeping up with the ins and outs of these social media platforms.
