We all made the same sacrifice coming here. I'm not gonna build a community for them. It just comes off as entitled to a welcome mat and a warmed up glass of brandy waiting for them.

Hmm I sorta think that makes sense as a reason not to join in posting here tho, no? The predominant monotopic community and lack of noticeable efforts to expand? He says it's 'the perfect protocol' too, not that he doesn't like it.

I'm reading it as quite positive review actually

"I don't like the protocol because I don't like the people that actually are using and live testing it" is a WILD fucking take.

I feel like there are actually a fair amount of people on the sidelines waiting for nostr to expand. Which is quite hopeful.

Cleaned and ready for new switches. The Gateron's were completely unremoveable with the tool provided, so I resorted to a pocket knife and a guitar pick. Totally broke half the tabs on the switches, but I hate them anyways, so idc.

Unlike you of course 😂

Craig Wright on X 😂

I save most of the memes people make of me to some day show my grandchildren.

When you wake up with Sun in strong sextile with Neptune

If I remember correctly they contacted me and I had a call with a guy from Twitter where he told me Bluesky's goals were to build a protocol for which Twitter could become a client in the future, to which I said Nostr was a perfect match, then he asked me if I would consider becoming the lead Bluesky person they would pick for leading the effort, and I said ok but asked if it would be acceptable if I just used Nostr as it was as "the Bluesky" without considering the other proposals and he didn't know what to say.

Then he put me in a secret group chat with some other people including SSB people, Mastodon people, the GUN guy and people from a bunch of useless IPFS projects. Supposedly the group was gathered to work together in creating this Bluesky protocol, but I read the entire conversation and it was 100% people just shilling their own projects, so I talked a little about Nostr and the first feedback I got was: "how do we ban people? it looks like it would be very hard to ban", so I said that was the idea and the conversation ended. Maybe Jay Graber was in this chat, but I don't remember reading any messages from her.

Some time after that supposedly this group produced a "report" containing all decentralized protocols in existence and a comparison between them, but it didn't include Nostr. I think the group didn't produce anything and this was likely a solo effort from Jay. The group continued its useless, sparse conversation and Bluesky the company was created through some other means of communication.

Please stop confusing new users. They'll start thinking Derek is more than our AI helper.

nah you deserved it. I was contemplating posting a note saying that I didn't think he would free ross either. I'd be eating shit right now too. it's part of the festivities

People said i wasn't supposed to, so i was obligated to go create and X account, and a Bluesky account. Because 1. F them 2. I wanted to honestly asses the experience. 3. ive been off all mainstream platforms for years. i was curious.

I have to say, all ideological reasoning aside, X is a shitty experience. Just on its face. The way everything flows feels forced and controlled, the feeds are rammed into your face like youre the only pretty girl in a Frat bar. It feels like what you would have if AT&T or some other out of touch mega-corporation ran a social platform. I honestly dont know why anyone would build anything on there. And not just for the obvious rugpull potential. When you look at it objectively, its just not a great option. It feels... old, and corporate, and unfree.

Bluesky is better than X. Its like.... "oh this is fine." Its mildly interesting, it works pretty well, and is much more accessible that X. But when you start digging around in the spec, you find unnecessarily complex language. Like the kind of unnecessarily complex language you see when someone is trying to hide something. And what they are trying to hide is that they are intentionally keeping the core centralized for the purposes of control. Or at least that's my read. Its got communist style dishonestly at its core. Double speak.

There is nothing out there right now that offers anything remotely close to what nostr is offering as a protocol.

i bet some of them are saying that he only did it because hes white

Funny thing is I see harm reduction as a leftist ideal…if I had to pick

Mostly because it requires funding in the addiction field, which tends to come from govt
