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.

    @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.

      can you tell me if it is still heavy into cryptobro hype?

      what?

      https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cryptobro

      (slang, sometimes derogatory) An enthusiastic cryptocurrency supporter, usually male, especially a dogmatic, condescending one.

      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.
