There is hope after all!
Bluesky being decentralized... how would the birthday even in theory remain private?
We have nostr
WAGMI
I got you bro
Yeah, I agree to some extent.... We need better mobile signers... It sucks that the only way to get that on Android is to get a custom app store
But it's really not that hard to just generate an nPub/nSec pair and start talking. I mean it's probably a lower barrier to entry than just about any other social media system...?
I guess in principal, this is Bluesky "The company" asking, not BlueSky the protocol...
Internet Protocol (v4, v6) still doesn't require personal info. Not the internet, but much of the web, has been trash for some time now.
Maybe we can do more with
Gemini (protocol) - Wikipedia
understanding how the AT protocol works, in reality it is not very decentralized, because as I understand it, the essential keys to access one's account are held by the bluesky company, so although one can set up their own servers, they still have your account.
I mean... I guess... People use passwords anyway so I don't see this as a huge ask?
And maybe I'm out of the loop, but what exactly is the "pants crapping" that's happening about deVine?
Just put in some random date, they don’t check shit
bluesky n vimeo bro basically exposed himself as a pedophile

DNA next 😁
I made an account on it, and it was all just gay furry porn.
internet is a protocol, not an app you idiot
Too old for this shit...
As long as it stays decentralized and censorship resistant we will be good. No need to push it too hard, everyone getd NOSTR when they're ready. The glitches will be sorted out.
Been here so long I forgot that this is a thing 😭
We need better mobile OS's, because a custom app repository or sideloading shouldn't even be something anyone blinks at. A standard one is more eyebrow raising.
Thank God for @GrapheneOS
If you have a lightning address...with NWC.
An nsec that you use with separate lightning wallet to pay invoices just controls your online identity, not your money. And NIP-05 is supposed to address that possibility, but admittedly it doesn't seem to do it the best.
Indeed, the load is decentralized, the management is not.
You're free to provide Bluesky with load balancing bandwidth for free, basically.
Far as I know, about $1m per month in grant funding is being spent on nostr. Maybe more.
If that money dries up before more users come on, that is a real problem.
Needs to be taking into account in your "when they're ready" analysis.
Also 'disposable nostr' (ephemeral nsec/npub keypairs) is directly at odds with web-of-trust nostr. It's one or the other. You can't base filtering systems on web-of-trust when you can't trust normal users to keep safe the very thing on which that web is ultimately trusting.
Oh yea, if you're raw dogging your nsec around like that, good luck.
The more I've looked at NWC the more I think I'm just going to keep paying the invoices manually with my existing lightning wallet. It was annoying when I was using speed wallet but now that I can see who zaps me using Zeus I'm pretty content with the flow as is. A little friction with the flow of money is often a good thing.
You can send zaps out with ZEUS with NWC in our next release. No need to reveal your nsec to us.
Receiving remains the same.
What are the trust tradeoffs when choosing a nostr relay for NWC? What information about my node am I giving up to relay operators or assoiating with my npub?
I did hear that and will be taking a look, but not actually sure it's something I'll be using regularly. I sort of like a bit of friction in sending money -- call me old fashioned.
But I do appreciate y'all giving us options :-).
Only what you broadcast publicly. You use a new key pair for each NWC connection..

You're down with KYC? No not me 😭
When you run your own bitcoin node with StartOS, there are more than 50 open source apps you may easily run. None of them require age verification, or any verification at all.
Your node. Your apps. Your self-sovereign privacy.

Nostr fixes this 🤘
My first thought was hash the birthday and add salt, but that only works with a centralized server, which bluesky appears to be anyway.
That's the scariest scenario. Imagine how easy DNA collection would have made executive order 9066 much easier to accomplish.
A Jewish gene added to KYC papers would have been Hitler's dream.
People think these historical events are anomolies. They chant Never again, but that's not how history works. The COVID lockdowns quickly turned into a struggle between the vaxed an unvaxed. Tribalism takes on many forms and you never know when you're Identity will make you the enemy.
This is hilarious.👍
Bluesky is federated much like mastodon. If your relay doesn't talk to your friend's relay, you won't see them.
Yeah that sucks. I ran Mastodon for a while, but didn't use it because of this.
Things are reaching crisis point. UK has become rancid. Posting memes, supporting palestine, etc lands one in prison. Not just here. US too. The zionists pushing it globally. Freaking coz the world no longer falls for their crap. They lost control of their narrative. Now the world suffers...
I've noticed. I'm an anti-war hippie, but according to the official narrative, that makes me an anti-semite. I listen to a podcaster who was an Israeli citizen who is also against the war. Is she an anti-semite?
This is a total psych op.
Yes. The Israeli government represents the values of Jews for them. Any Jew who doesn't stand with the Israeli government on every issue clearly has a problem with Jews.
Stop giving them money.
For now they don't claim monopoly on violence. Which makes you free to leave at any time.
Youtube told me "we cannot verify your age!" And then continued to show me ads for AI generated Elsa porn.
The Elsagate is still here
Anf the palestinians et al are too. Ergo the genocidal zionists ARE the real antisemitez...
