How ActivityPub works, and how Nostr works.
Discussion
Mastodon is worse than I thought.
Activitypub is completely ridiculous. Mind boggling that it has gotten as much support as it has.
nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 representing the AP federation API as a singular monolithic node here is misleading. every edge between AP servers represents each implementation of a federation API.
uninformed people are going to see this and think "duhh AP is centralized" are you on any psych meds?
The message-forwarding is illustrated here, but the moderation is not illustrated.
The two protocols embody different moderation approaches.
Censorship resistance, vs community moderation.
Are there any relays that are built around communities, with common goals for moderation polices on which they can cooperate?
If there are, are they stapled on top of a protocol designed for censorship-resistance, rather than being built into it's core?
I think moderation is a group activity. I don't know Nostr well enough to know if group-moderation and community is a thing here, or if it could be rooted in rather than stapled on.
Ban lists can be shared
#architectureastronauts vs #KISS design
This is so good !
The simplicity of the protocol is so elegant it made me angry when i first read through it.
why not sooner
