While I wouldn’t agree that it’s an outright scam, I do find the Nostr approach more compelling.

I made a video to share my thinking on this topic

It’s presenting itself as something that it’s not.

Just like ethereum

yeah, I worry that people may get lulled into a false sense of what “decentralization” means… it’s not about marketing claims, but about actual architectural decisions

could be good for nostr if they assemble a bunch of people with their simple UX, but ultimately figure out they need to replace their complex architecture with nostr - would accelerate success of the goals in that case

prob easier to get Bluesky to make this kind of transition sooner than Twitter so it could also be a model for helping Twitter decide this is the right path
