Great work.

I think you misunderstood Bluesky though, it is much closer to Pubky, or rather Pubky is much closer to it, with the main differences being Pkarr vs PLC, and that Pubky homeservers don't sign data, but as you might be aware, almost all Atproto apps use the stream that does NOT contain signatures... which vindicated Pubky's design decision; if you have to trust an aggregator regardless because of scale, might as well ignore signatures and detect frauds by visiting the source of truth.

Nostr on the contrary has no source of truth at all, bot even with the Outbox model because there is no consistent way to know where is the authoritative host... so in Nostr case signatures are not optional.

I want to finally say that if you think of Nostr as small social networks, and if I were to design an alternative to that, as opposed to the requirement that Pubky was designed under (aggrrgatuon and indexing), I would definitely not only sign the data at client side but encrypt it too, just like Peergos does. But that simply wasn't an option, and to be frank Nostr didn't start with that goal either.

I also want to note that in that small world paradigm, Pkarr aligns perfectly with storage incentives, just like DNS is aligned with websites hosting... because if you don't need aggregation, and if you are only querying data from 100s of friends, you all can use tens of small servers that cost nothing, ran by friends or free cloud hosting even, and migrate when they need to rug pull you.

Anyways, I am glad that more and more people are giving up on the search engine global indexing goal and focusing on communities.
