Thanks Rabble!
I kicked that nest little on purpose. I was on atproto very early, among the first 40k people - and I chose atproto over Nostr because I thought it was a technology with greater scaling potential (not perfect, but which can bring freedom to more people). I saw atproto as the opposite approach to nostr, but converging to a very similar destination point.
But the mood of the last few months clearly anticipated how wrong I was, that it had become just a decentralization theater. My assumption that the community would move towards decentralization was completely wrong and naive.
The rage that has now finally confirmed my suspicions and given me the strength to leave and build something more meaningful. So i'm here :)

Don't forget to set up your lightning address, so you can get sats for your posts.
I think this community is very much aligned with you on providing neutral infra and then solving personal experience at the higher layers.
ROFL my first thought reading this was “I wonder if the user was tree” 🤣
They were going ham on you. Sad to see you leave it cuz it was good to see different takes but glad you’re on here maybe Farcaster?

Welcome! it's an oddball little community here, lots of talk about Bitcoin and Red meat... but there are good folks and it's generally a good hang.
But cultural dynamics exist here too, and I can sort of see the same thing where Devs wind up being community leaders, for better or worse.
One thing I've been trying to harp on is better links to Mastodon. To me, Nostr's probably going to be too "weird and bitcoin-y" for the masses at the moment, but Mastodon is the place that can serve as a sort of refuge for both individuals and institutions that are getting "Enshittified" out of legacy platforms.
Emailed you earlier today because I figured you’d like Nostr. Good to see you here!

Hello and welcome!
Glad you made your way here. Looking forward to what you build
Welcome!
Do you mind writing a long form about Bluesky vs Nostr from your own specific perspective? It would be really interesting!
