as a dev, I take a look at bluesky's spec and feels overwhelmingly bloated and confusing

as a dev, I take a look at nostr's NIP-01, realize I don't need to read anything else, and build something 10 minutes later

not quite the same

That’s pretty much the conclusion I thought you’d come to.

🤙🤙🤙

Sometimes simplicity is best.

yup, always

I mean, the mere fact that you need an invite code to try an "open protocol" it's like the most idiotic thing ever

Amen, not interested at all

I was interested and then I used it. It is in fact not interesting.

😂😂😂

Exactly the reason why I will not trying it at all. #Nostr has already won ✌️

Spoke to #[2]​ about this recently. Fascinating how any dev can simply read a few paragraphs to grokk the concept and start building.

I’m not familiar with the technical details of Bluesky, but I’ve seen that the AT protocol allows data portability. So you have control over your data.

Is there anything similar in Nostr, where you can download your data, and upload it into your relay, something unified.

Yeah, ofc, that’s baked right into the protocol. There’s a ton of tools to do this 😊😊😊

Please share them when you have the time ! 💜🫂

Few clients support this so far. Nostrgram does. And you can find scripts to achieve this with noscl. It's really trivial to do except for relays nowadays throttling requests, so ... I hope to see it offered by more clients soon.

the pattern for this would be to run your own personal relay and make that your “primary” relay. think of other relays as secondary broadcast tools

Will look into this, was running a personal relay in EmbassyOS, but couldn’t connect to it, unless over Tor, which was very slow, and unsustainable in the long term, I will give it another try maybe

i believe that At Protocol allows for verification in the sense that your data will only be accessible from the server that you have specified.

NOSTR allows for copying and pasting your data all over.

At Protocol = more user control but less broadcasting / availability theoretically
