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.
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.
