Bluesky only works with Bluesky's own code. Thanks for reading my paper.

The Bluesky team has an academic paper describing the protocol that’s a pretty good high level but somewhat technical overview. It includes how they see Bluesky compares to Secure Scuttlebutt, Nostr, Farcaster, and ActivityPub/Mastodon. I think folks who are building Nostr apps or advocating for it in comparison to Bluesky would do well to read it to understand what they’re doing and how we’re different. We should also write up one for Nostr. https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.03239

bluesky's code is awful, also, and it uses CBOR which is why i was hostile to the idea of nostr binary wire encoding using it, idgaf RFC, shitheads are using it and i had to deal with the awful, excessively complex data structure they used... (to be honest i don't really want to see nostr move to a binary codec unless it's fully bespoke designed just for nostr because of all the shitty metadata crap that we don't need)

We’ve submitted a proposal to an international society to organize a conference on decentralized social networks, with Nostr as the main topic. Fortunately, the proposal has been approved, and we’re now working out the details. I’m actively trying to align the conference dates and location with next year’s Nostr events. The goal is to introduce Nostr to academics and promote further research. Hope everything goes well.

this is very interesting I'd love to know more about it! Also keen on doing academic work related to Nostr.
