Replying to Joe

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:

https://atproto.com/docs

it’s mostly plain English, you can still get a lot by just skimming past the json examples

Appreciate what is likely the most legitimate form of help; docs. But if anything it's made me feel like even more of an imposter - I'm a hundred levels more simplistic than the docs are going to be. The phrase ELI5 has always felt lazy to me until this moment.
