Yeah, +1. It's odd, the rest of the site seems to work fine, but the surf article specifically seems to be broken, at least on mobile Firefox.
inb4 just use bluesky
god, please, no, it's such trash 😭 😭 😭
yo #nostrdev, are there any initiatives out there working on adding something like #bluesky's PDSes to #nostr?
like, it feels like such an obvious way to improve UX that I'm surprised it's not been a thing since the beginning
Hey Nostr, how do clients generally query relays for stuff like user data? Do they just query the first one, or do they query all simultaneously and go with the most recent result, or...?
#nostr #nostrdev
that, and encrypted content and on-protocol DMs ARE on their protocol roadmap!! (https://docs.bsky.app/blog/2024-protocol-roadmap)
they don't have a date on them - which, ew. - but like,, they never said they're NOT doing it.
nostr:npub1lqxauw3yjjf8y5sma55e34ux4td3u7mppkl20qz4na23gh8vj8jsmarj5c has a good write up comparing the two protocols.
ATprotocol can be open but it’ll never be permissionless. There is an approval process for each PDS connection to each relay and every kind of content will need its own appview server. The hard enforcement of schema validation means new data types don’t work on the network unless they go through a kind of standards process and then explicit support is added to the client, PDS, and appview amongst other places.
Their name system was supposed to be a temporary bridge to an open system, it’s called did placeholder, but they know decided they’re keeping it because they do want a control over usernames.
The last bit is that PDS’s control your keys and there is no way to request or move your keys. You can only migrate with a manual process that the PDS provider does on your behalf. If your PDS provider, which is 99.99% of the time Bluesky inc, doesn’t let you go then they own your account and all of your data.
Lastly Bluesky isn’t going to do encryption. The dm system is an unencrypted centralized system where Bluesky has everyone’s private messages. They have no plans on changing that or adding encrypted groups.
Bluesky has made a bunch of decisions which have helped it grow and in building these systems there are always tradeoffs.
wait what, you sure?? is schema validation really present at every step of the path??
I assumed it was only done on the AppView or something, I mean, people are making new schemas and they don't seem to need to go through any of this approval and implementation headache AFAIK???
and like,, I'm pretty sure allowing people to do key rotation independently of their PDS is one of the main reasons did:plc even exists?
Nostr revives the dream of a real
open web 2.0 which was being build with Twitter data streams (annotations)https://fountain.fm/clip/tk2f3SczSHOth08CgrEF
Spot on nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240
holy shit how did I never know that was a thing
yo that's kinda amazing, how did that never take off???
"yo dude why is your internet history full of web searches for "wait fuck am I therian"??"
"internet language 😔 "
I!!! still can't get over how cool it is that Toki Pona just!! lets you introduce yourself as a human, or an object, or an animal, or whatever!!
like!! yes!! screw you!! I AM bird!! hell yeah!!! caw caw!!! aaaaaa!!! 🥰🥰🥰
#tokipona
oh god what
I've spent the weekend walking around a furcon with my lil fursuit tail on
and I've legitimately had like,, phantom tail all day now
don't get me wrong, it's really cute in a weird and inexplainable way, actually!! ~v~
but also!! oh man it gets a little silly being like "ah crap I caught my tail on something-- wait why am I wearing my tail at work-- wAIT IM,, FUCKIN,, NOT! STILL!" at random intervals during the day xDD
I went searching for furries on nostr today and holy fuck is it dire
None are to be found in the wild, no groups, no hashtag activity, no nothing. A desperate google search reveals a "nostr furries list" website, listing a grand total of, like, 9 accounts, and like half of them have AI avatars.
Bro 😭
#furry #nostr
Self-storage sounds like what a marketer would call an apartment building when trying to sell to hipsters
mostr (and momostr!) are nostr-fediverse bridges! they let people from nostr see and interact with posts from fediverse accounts, and vice-versa.
you can find out more at https://mostr.pub and https://momostr.pink/
it's definitely a really neat thing to have!! but it sometimes generates a lot of noise in search results when trying to look for people actually on nostr. P;
holy fuck #mostr kinda?? sucks???
it's so neat in theory, but like,, if I'm using hashtags to look for people with fellow interests on #nostr? there's nothing more frustrating than seeing the hashtag feed is filled with mostr posts, completely destroying any chance of me finding any actual nostr posters,, fmnhmfg
I wish there was a way to just hide these from search results, they're spam at this point
Ha, nostr and all the other dweb social networks. Despite bsky having had a big boom period, now - just a couple months later - most of the people in my circles are back to being most active on Twitter, despite having their twitter usernames still promoting their bsky/masto handles. The network effect is strong. P;
ngl I'd do the same if I worked on bluesky lmaooo
yeah, like... seems like the "devs" here is less "developers" and more "spec writers".
having spent way too much time digging through the countless AP projects, I can safely vouch that ActivityPub has a boatload more than just 4 devs, but - if I remember correctly - the original spec was written mostly by 4 people(?)
either way, this slide is wack
