The ridiculous way that Cory (@pluralistic) approaches his account name and posting his articles here is still better than the cluster that is #nostr and #bluesky names, system structure and data management. IMHO! #SocialWeb
Threads users aged 18+ with public profiles can now choose to share their Threads posts to other ActivityPub-compliant servers -- which means they an federate across the Mosr Bridge! Here's how to follow opted-in accounts on Threads from Nosr.
At the moment, Threads federation only works one way, and it''s unclear how many users are opting in. Nonetheless, we know that growing the available network on #Nostr is key for lowering the barrier to entry new users experience when joining decentralized platforms. #GrowNostr
I get that #nostr is popular with people who don't want to share a server with anybody (and their rules). But don't lots of people achieve that with a stripped down implementation of #ActivityPub?
@wjmaggos nostr is not a bad project, but it's still using instances's just calling them relays and not promoting the community side of this. The conversations around this are not the best. People argue that #bluesky and #nostr are both spoilers on #activitypub there is some truth to this, though am more they are all #4opens and diversity is good, but please be honest path.
Former CEO of Twitter wanted to build a social protocol no-one can control, like SMTP or HTTP for social media. Bluesky’s ATProto was supposed to be an open source protocol that Twitter could eventually utilize, but then Musk happened and Bluesky started taking it to the wrong direction and everything fell apart in Dorsey’s mind.
A very revealing interview. I now see even more future in W3C’s ActivityPub.
This noob is testing the interconnectivity of the #Fediverse:
The word out there on the Fediverse make it seem as if all the different tools (Mastdn/P-tube/Lemmy/etc.) can interact with one another. But this is not the case, as some work both ways, whilst others only one way, or at all.
a) Using #Bridgyfed, to test between AT ( #BlueSky ) & AP protocols (Mastodon, etc.)
b) Meta's #Threads for testing with Mastodon.
c) Starting to test #Nostr with its peer-to-peer network.
TL;DR:
The #Fediverse holds a lot of promise, but it the ideal level of interconnectivity isn't there yet. (And yes, not all of them need to be able to connect and interact on the same level of details as with the others, as they are different tools.)
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.
#JackDorsey verse 5 millions de $ pour soutenir le développement du réseau social décentralisé #nostr. Cela confirme qu'il le préfère à bluesky, dont il vient de quitter le comité de direction.
With major companies like Meta realizing the future potential of decentralized social media, connecting across protocols has never been more important.
#Nostr users can soon follow anyone on Threads via the Mostr bridge as Meta adds support for Activity Pub. This opens up a massive base of mainstream users, breaking down the #networkeffect barrier that new protocols struggle to overcome. This is hugely important for user retention.
Hopefully, once Threads users discover Nostr through our bridged interactions, they will realize what they're missing out on by staying under the control of Meta! #GrowNostr
