I decided to have a look at the Nostr protocol out of curiosity and the only thing I found there was a lot of Cryptobro servers and users. I logged in via Coracle.social and that looked like hell. Is that really what’s trying to replace activityPub? Not for me, thanks.
@iPabloSB Yeah, totally! I don't think the protocol itself is inherently bad (although they need established extensions for moderation, like, yesterday) but pretty much all its users seem to be crypto bros or far-right "muh free speech" nutters. Who could be bothered?
@jayeless yeah, reading about the protocol I expected to find something similar to Mastodon, but the feeling is very different. It looks just like advertising a “crypto-like” decentralized protocol of key+pass similar to crypto wallets, but without moderation tools social networks are inhospitable
@iPabloSB hey, but to be honest it would be pretty cool if all crypto gangs and free speech absolutists end up in their own network and leave the rest of us enjoying our corner of the internet. Happy to not having to interact with them.
