A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.
Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.
Just FYI for now. It’s late here so I’ll see how we proceed tomorrow.
no need for speculations (“seems”). just read the intro https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr and visit some public frontends like https://iris.to/ or https://snort.social/ or https://nostr.ch/ or https://nostribe.com/ … or other clients https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr#clients
posts on activitypub are not even signed… the only advantage of activitypub is more users, more content. but quantity is a poor indicator for quality.
its possible to create aggregating clients to “bridge all the networks”, or to use bridges https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr#bridges-and-gateways
My main concern with nostr is that it’s developed by a man who’s abused me for 8 years without even knowing I existed, so discussing about specs or clients is missing the bigger picture (basically tech bikeshedding).
aah, more of that emo rhetoric. go file a lawsuit.
the beauty of nostr is: anyone can run a relay, so you and your emo friends can make a “safe space” relay, where all “hate speech” is censored.
comparing two protocols is no bikeshedding.
@milahu You clearly have no idea of what you’re talking about, so you’re resorting to personal insults. Your behavior is
completely coherent and thus, not surprising or disappointing in any way. You’re just an asshole.
I’ve repeated year after year, and been exposed to a domestic predator because of Twitter. I’m still depressed and I
still can’t manage my money and my time properly because of Twitter. I’ve stayed in the closet for another decade
because of Twitter. You don’t even know the beginning of what you’re talking about. You don’t even know what’s a
dispositive of power, or even the face of the most famous French philosopher having dedicated his life to write
about power.
You’re just an ignorant.
Yes, it’s tech bikeshedding _because_ you’re restricting the conversation to tech and protocols. As far as I know,
there’s a 50/50 chance you don’t know what an affordance is, and you’re going to lecture us about how easy it is to
run a relay. This isn’t the topic at hand. The topic at hand is that you wouldn’t trust Dorsey if you gave a shit,
and I assume we do, so shut up.
@milahu I have looked at the bridges and the use still tends to create errors for the encryption I have always supported that users should be taking the initiative and using GnuPG encryption for sensitive messages on all platforms so your not relying on any one else’s use of data.
So I know it started with crypto being the push for this one can you tell me if it is still heavy into cryptobro hype?
obviously bridges are lossy:
nostr events are arbitrary JSON objects, activitypub messages are markdown text.both transmit events as JSON objects, but with different structure. for lossless transmission, you would have to use one protocol as framing protocol, ie, send the message as attachment.what?

not really, nostr itself is not a blockchain,
because a blockchain is not space-efficient. some instances support lightning (bitcoin) payments, so you “upvote with money”. (personally, i would prefer monero or zerocoin, but that can be implemented later.)in nostr, all messages/events are signed by default. in activitypub, signatures are optional (https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/nomadic-identity-for-the-fediverse/2101), which means that most users will not use them. signatures are required for replication across multiple relays/instances. without signatures, i have to trust the relay admins.
hype: a nostr client (damus) is banned in china. nostr is supported by Jack Dorsey (ex twitter CEO) and Edward Snowden.
