I feel like the way #Nostr does apps is superior to how we do it in the #Fediverse.

This isn’t to say that Nostr apps are inherently better. Some Mastodon apps have an incredible amount of polish, and extremely creative features.

Nostr’s standardization on identity and credentials and appended data is really, really good, though. Everything I sign into just works. Whereas, as a Non-Mastodon user with partial MastoAPI support, that isn’t always the case. I often have to cross my fingers and hope it works.

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 70

Well...maybe Nostr isn't so great...

Can't get much engagement there. Even offered to pay for engagement like those corporate social media sites and nothing....😑🤦‍♂️

What #Nostr relay can be on this server? lol 😄

Woah, this is… big(?). “Jack Dorsey says he quit Bluesky because it was becoming another Twitter”

https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-bluesky-twiiter-nostr-interview-2024-5

He left #Twitter, then #BlueSky, and now endorsing #Nostr… but still not the #Fediverse.

Jack Dorsey explains why he left Bluesky

The real new Twitter, Jack Dorsey argues, should be something called Nostr.

@gruff @reiver Wow, this is the first time I hear about Farcaster.

So… now we have 4 protocols which all try to achieve the ”truly decentralized social web”:

- ActivityPub
- ATProto
- Farcaster
- Nostr

What a mess

#ActivityPub #Fediverse #ATProto #Nostr #Bluesky #Farcaster

This noob is testing the interconnectivity of the #Fediverse, with the AP (Mastodon, etc.) and AT (Bluesky) Protocol protocols, and also starting to test #Nostr this week.

#ActivityPub #Bluesky #ATProtocol

For our first article on #Nostr, we wrote a crash course guide on the protocol and the network, along with what it is, how it works, and how you can get started.

A Crash Course Guide to Nostr

Nostr is a strange beast: in some ways, it resembles what the Fediverse built with ActivityPub. In other ways, it follows a bunch of totally different concepts. This guide is a best attempt to underst

This video is SO good! Anyone who is interested in Fediverse nuances and the issues we've been debating for months now, should definitely watch this video! 4/?

So, at the 29 minute mark, Ryan talks about how Mastodon's search discoverability feature is currently opt-in and there's only 5-6% of people currently opting-in. That's a wild statistic!😬 3/?

Ryan made a pretty good point around the 16 minute mark about how Threads wasn't told to make their federation "opt-in" from the Fediverse side and that people feel differently about bridges for some reason.

Even though, they're the same thing, in most ways. 2/?

Finally sitting down to watch/listen to the podcast with Mike Mccue, CEO of Flipboard, and Ryan Barrett, creator of BridgyFed.

This should be good!😁

So cool to see the leaders in this space share info and help each other make this the best social media project it could be! 1/?

Building Bridges to the Fediverse, with Ryan Barrett

The beauty of an open system is that anyone can build on top of it and try to make it a better place. In the fediverse, software engineer Ryan Barrett is one such developer.
