On a protocol level:
Identity - public keys vs URLs
Network topology - clients and relays vs servers
Data format - Nostr events vs ActivityStreams objects
On a people/reality level:
ActivityPub is way larger
Nostr has money built into the tech, and ActivityPub is very resistant to it
Nostr is young, ActivityPub is old and based on something even older
Nostr has jack and snowden. ActivityPub bullied Will Wheaton off the protocol
