Why do you think blue sky has been able to acquire so many more users than nostr? What do you think are the main UX wins when using Bluesky vs nostr atm?
Bluesky’s letting you post gifs… well not actually post gifs, just choose to embed a few gifs from a preselected list, but soon they say they’ll figure out media uploads.

When I see stuff like this I realize that there are so many ways in which Nostr is far ahead of the other protocols. In others we’ve got work todo, but, for all it’s faults Nostr has the most interesting ecosystem.

nostr:npub1rdw87tu23al8afmhtpul6qksnrdka3vgz9zjrudpah7v6c6url5s82qyr4 that’s a really good question. It got me thinking and I started writing… It became much more of a essay about nostr and bluesky’s growth over the last year…
So here it is: nostr:note19f0dqr8g5sq8g9yh5lvd66cxddhydz2gakvs5qqdnv6ekynpz4gqq89dnj
And if your client doesn’t display long form content: https://njump.me/note19f0dqr8g5sq8g9yh5lvd66cxddhydz2gakvs5qqdnv6ekynpz4gqq89dnj
Wow, thanks for the detailed response!
Is it not purely about media attention? Bluesky has strong links to Twitter and the legacy media outlets treat it as such. Same with threads. These apps that aren’t decentralized from the ground up benefit greatly from their corporate beginnings.
Hell mastadon has been around since 2016 and bluesky is already catching up in terms of users.
