Nostr is not competing with Bluesky. Nostr is the entire internet identity layer encompassing many more use cases.
Trustworthy identity without identification. Bluesky is not solving this.

absolutely
Media always refers to it as Jack's Bluesky š
Thank you for the mute button nostr

Itās especially funny that he left Bluesky board.
Yeah š¤
Totally agree
... funny thing is ... I've been thinking about #profileReputation. some sort of combo of profile age & some sort of post count or something...
posting / tagging here, for anyone else thinking about it ... and wants to thread some thoughts.
I think reputation and trust go hand in hand. I like the web of trust concepts, where global trust scores donāt mean as much. Weāve found in the last few years that we vary in major ways by how much each of us trust public authority figures with established credentials or various conspiracy theorists. I donāt think itās a stretch to find two people who sort a given list in exactly opposite directions.
People are also incredibly ingenious about gaming reputation systems. If given enough time we tend to produce a situation where everyone is suspect and we just end up with zero reputation all round, then resort to buying standing and pretend itās meritocratic.
We should try to avoid the trap of social scores and any scoring authority, even in algorithmic form.
I donāt have any solutions though, only wishes.
100% agree with everything youāre suggesting. Any āgameableā system or even a dictated system is problematicā¦
I was looking at this site & thinking itās gonna get figured out eventually https://www.nostr.directory
I was never into social media very much. Just landed in nostr and I can feel something intangible about it that is not only ridiculously appealing as it also itches me to think about big projects to make use of the protocol. AI didnāt get me this excited about a technology. The last thing I felt this motivated about something was when I first read the bitcoin blueprint. I canāt put my finger on what use case exactly, but I feel like nostr is destined to change the world.
Bluesky is a bit boring and hard to understand
Very well put sir! š«”
