Lefties love it, that's why they joined. Its their version of truth social.
"Decentralized" means something different to people who believe whatever they are told...
When bsky first came out they said "decentralized AND censorship resistant!"
They dropped the last part lol, wonder when they'll drop the first.
Sooner or later, folks will understand that the only platform that supports free speech is Nostr.
I don't think that word means what they think it means...
Yes
Your
Bluesky's main instance is Bsky.app . Anyone can start an instance with their own rules.
Decentralized means that there can be multiple instances, like Mastodon and Minds, each with their own rules. Bsky.app is Bluesky's main and known instance.
Right, but unlike nostr you cant take your identity or content to a new instance. The server owner still owns that stuff
The fact that there is a "main and known instance" means its not decentralized lol
Because Nostr is one whole system with relays. As I said, Bluesky works with instances instead. Each instance requires a new account. You can also delete your data from that instance.
Because there aren't others. Anyone can set up a new instance, there are tutorials on how to.
That's precicely why nostr is so revolutionary and bluesky is just another boring old social media platform.
Yeah and there are Facebook clones on github. People spin them up all the time but they never gain traction.
Probably due to not earning enough trust and people not wanting to switch. See Koo for example, was a new social media during the Twitter debacle, but ended up closed.
Also, some relays refuse content here on Nostr.
Most relays refuse most content. But i can still copy my notes between relays, and anyone can read from my private relay. And anyone can spin up a relay thats wide open. And theres no "federation" to worry about. And relay owners cannot impersonate users. Thats what real decenteralization looks like.
You don't have to "trust" my relay. All the notes on it are cryptographically guaranteed to have come from the holder of the nsec they're signed by
You said it right here: nostr is ONE WHOLE SYSTEM. That no one entity can control or censor, you own your identity across all relays, and relays can come and go without effecting your whole identity and all your content.
That's true. Nostr is way better, but still far behind in regards to membership. Most people who hear about Nostr think it's just another bitcoiner network due to it being anonymous. After the X debacle in Brazil, people are kinda wary of "unmoderated"/decentralized social media. I've heard a few politicians talking about Nostr, but haven't seen many here. Most prefer Truth, Gettr or the mainly known ones like X and Threads, due to their public also being there.
