watching #Wicked at the cinema
Uhhh I kinda regret coming but I was bored and my parents were taking my little sister, so here I am.
my take on the different protocols atm
#atproto #nostr nostr:note1nvdqn8m4y6atkjt6lwgy0cxkvrjs2tsl2dgmzgx5zrspfurn7juqklqxpn
yeah i’m using openvibe too atm. not sure if it’s messed up relays but i’m replying on Damus right now and it seems ok? idk how to check really
yep, i think because ActivityPub is standardised by W3C they move much slower, and Mastodon’s core engineering team is do small, that even has an open source project, it’s not getting many new exciting changes. i personally feel like microblogging products don’t always need shiny new features, i was kinda surprised that was what Elon seemed to care about so much with Twitter. imo if you have a good functioning product with users and a thriving API then you should be good, but oh well lol.
meh atproto would be hard to lock down. it basically works where all users have a personal data server (pds) and this is where all their posts go (bluesky or other atproto apps). then they send out a message telling relays (which *anyone* can setup) to cache and store the new information. bc of this, there’s an open firehose, which you can view with tools like https://firesky.tv or other… Bluesky could theoretically that public firehose down, but anyone can spin another up with their own Relay, it’s just quite expensive right now (the engineers at bluesky are working on making it cheaper, Jetstream i’d a good starting point.)
sorry for getting in depth about it, but that’s pretty much how it works on the surface, yeah. i think their hardest challenge is making money, since they are a company.
also, they still own atproto (the protocol itself), when it gets stable enough they’re gonna try and move it to a standards group (similar to W3C, but not necessarily them). but yeah the whole thing feels a but experimental still. still a fun protocol though, and it’s cool seeing so many regular people signup and use the app/protocol daily. with things like the bridges, it improves the experience for nostr/fediverse indirectly as well.
Personally, I think the whole #nostr ecosystem would benefit from a client which is cross platform (iOS/Android/Web), but doesn’t offer things like zaps in the app.
Of course someone could just login with their private keys that they generated on that client to one with a wallet, but a client with a clean UI, no zaps/bitcoin might help the growth.
It’s one of the more complicated things to start with, and probably turns a lot of users away.
think something like #primal just without zaps (as I know they offer their wallet as one of the main “selling points” of their clients.)
yeah i agree! well my fav is atproto, but nostr comes before activtypub for sure. excited to pit stuff out on here (before i used it on & off).
I bought these 🔥dark vision app icons from Lokki on gumroad like 2 weeks ago, I wish there was an OpenVibe icon.. :( https://nostrcheck.me/media/c464398b2cabea986bb044e9348e70a368f2a4c2bb9f647f937bcb33bc39beca/b5dd8e925ce86d726957cb47795aabe23f1c4e72fc3bd8eaf26927e987aedc7b.webp https://nostrcheck.me/media/c464398b2cabea986bb044e9348e70a368f2a4c2bb9f647f937bcb33bc39beca/d7e50dd584216cd302ad589cfcb5e58c09547355822291d85fbc4a739b58dc4e.webp

I'm gonna post to #Nostr to try and help out with all posts not being about Nostr or Bitcoin itself, but try and just bring some sort of other community here.
I think the main thing putting people off of joining or using the app (other than some of the complexities that can be ironed out still) is the fact that everyone here talks about $$ & BTC lol.
I know there are ways to mute it out (mute words, etc..) but there's still not really any avoiding it.
is there a tool out there to import people you follow on #Mastodon to #Nostr ?
Using the mostr bridge or whatever.
#asknostr
