What you think about the protocol and it’s future? Currently it’s mostly inhabited by BTC fans but the idea itself seems much better than what Mastodon/Lemmy is doing
#Nostr: https://nostr.com
Can you elaborate on how the Nostr protocol seems better than ActivityPub? Do you mean it in terms of privacy?
I don’t know much about the underlying backend of Nostr, just that when I tried the platform, like you said, full of BTC stuff without any meaningful content of interaction.
Nostr feels like a great protocol social media. There is a great video about it.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=aA-jiiepOrE
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I think its a much better way of managing account credentials. basically there are no accounts. Just identities. The servers are just repeaters but they could also handle moderation. I wish the fediverse incorporated this concept for handling accounts/identities.
Censorship resistance means shit all if you’re signing everything you write with your IP address.
As opposed to my unpaid lemmy server admin learning about how his/her life is going to be shit if they don’t cooperate with gov agents.
Same result, but notice the extra step with lemmy?
There are no clients approaching nostr from a privacy respecting perspective. All the advice is “just run it on TAILS bro”.
When a client comes out that can bind to a VPN, or only send traffic to an onion address, then I’ll be interested.
