Honestly, I was never a fan of Bluesky’s approach to identity with DIDs. I always felt that, with a clean slate, we could’ve built something much better on Nostr—but that opportunity never really materialized.
Given that, the next best path was to bring Nostr’s identity system up to parity with Bluesky’s, which is what we’ve aimed to do with did-nostr. In fact, there are a few aspects I believe will end up being better than Bluesky’s did:plc.
Of course, it’s going to take significant investment and a solid growth strategy to compete with Bluesky. But at least when it comes to identity, Nostr is now in a position where it has feature parity.
https://nostrcg.github.io/did-nostr/ Bluesky expanding, branding of your followers/identity stay with you. And they’re building sleek social apps connecting to the AT protocol
It not nostr v X
While there are distinct differences, it’s nostr v AT protocol (in social media at least. Of course nostr goes well beyond this)
