In its worst case if pubky fixes something that on Nostr is broken, it’ll just get implemented 😂 but I’d first like to see what it actually fixes

They're using a graph database and their web of trust is still naively based on follows. But they have figured out what kind of read queries are useful for a Twitter clone, and that's worth using as a reference.

My interesting but does any of the architecture allow for unsilo’d application design that extends beyond the so-me (twitter clone ) scope ? I might have to look into it again 😄 last time it just seemed so small

Their database queries leave much to be desired. It's all Twitter clone stuff. I don't know about the silo part, but servers are a big part of their architecture.

This is incorrect. The graph is based on semantic metadata created by you and your peers.

I think you have totally the wrong idea about how to sort a graph.

That's great, thanks 👍

We proposed our improvements to Nostr a year ago and they declined.

Any chance that the proposal is still somewhere published ? poking at your docs doesn’t seem to provide enough insight on what part of censorship it tries to solve (DNS seems to pop out but I’d already debate that )✌️would be interesting to just see a reference to Nostr somewhere on its faults as a comparison according to pubky implementation. And finally why does it have to be funded by an actual company ?

Probably all of your questions are answered in our blog:

I highly recommend reading each post that feels relevant to your questions.

Generally, we created "public key domains" that are censorship-resistant. You sign your DNS settings and place them into Mainline DHT (largest, most decentralized network in the world - it powers torrents).

Those DNS records can point to anything you want for the identity: a website, your posts, your files, your payment endpoints, etc.

Your key also allows you register sessions with one or more "homeservers" which can also be hosted, or self-hosted. This allows key delegation, and cold key storage.

If any of your DNS endpoints censors you, you can simply update the record to point to a new provider, or your own self-hosted server.

I’ll have a look over the weekend, still would love to see one of the posts doing a proper comparison ✌️
