mmasnick (npub1f4f…f7ql) has a really good article about jack (npub1sg6…f63m)’s leaving the Bluesky board, support of Nostr, and the recent interview.
I mostly agree with the article but I think there’s more than just that Bluesky is taking on a corporate platform prespective with the roll out of the atproto. It’s that Bluesky is engaged in a kind of closed protocol design that feels heavy like xml and java. It’s open source like Android is…
My hope is that nos.social (npub1pu3…tfch) can be the super easy to use for normies app for Nostr. We’ve got a much bigger and more interesting ecosystem of apps. Nostr is a lot easier to work with than atproto for developers. But it’s also super confusing to new users. Wallet setup is hard, registering a username is hard, understanding how to login to nostr web apps with browser extensions is hard. We can solve these problems, but it takes work.
We’re about to launch the creator and journalism residencies to help bring a diversity of content beyond our core bitcoiner community which is sustaining Nostr.
