@wowaname @BeedleDave @sun Can you really blame him for leaving the Fedi. Here, he gets cancelled by Pleroma and Akkoma devs, and dogpiled by Poast users. Meanwhile, the Nostr community embraces him with open arms and he got to go to Nostr conventions because of it.
@sun @wowaname @BeedleDave I honestly don't know the full extent of those conflicts as I was never a dev for any Fedi software nor an instance owner/admin.
But as someone who has experienced both networks, Nostr seems to align more with the vision he had for the fedi.

>he got a nostr grant
Was it from Jack Dorsey? He immediately jumped to Nostr after the failure of BlueSky.
@sun @wowaname @BeedleDave BlueSky still relies on centralized servers much like how vanilla bitcoin still relies on the centralized "lightening network". It's no more decentralized than a torrent tracker.
@sun @wowaname @BeedleDave There were a bunch of Twitter users who threaten to jump ship but I bet most of them will abandon their accounts within a month. Most of them just hate Elon Musk, but for the wrong reasons.
But I wouldn't really care if BlueSky somehow manages to make a dent in Twitter's userbase given what Elon Musk plans to do with it (making it an "everything app" which to me sounds like Digital ID). Granted, BlueSky can still do the same, but I don't expect that to happen any time in the near future.
@sun @wowaname @BeedleDave I disagree. It's run by a company and these fedi leftists hate capitalism enough to avoid for-profit services like the plague. Best thing for them is to just have a whitelist of servers to federate.
