Bluesky has done some incredible marketing and is a media darling. Googling Twitter alternatives gives you Mastodon and Bluesky all over the place. Nostr is by far an underdog sadly.

Do you have thoughts?

Nostr is difficult, Nostr is for the hardcore.

Bluesky is for pussies who don't know they are going from the frying pan into the fire.

Nostr is just very early still. A lot more development is required. It will hit a tipping point quicker than most social networks though, due to the fact we can build as many different type of apps on Nostr as we wish and they're all interoperable

Unfortunately, People don’t understand that media are created to support the controlling function over the population. Mkbhd will never mention nostr, Ever. - I hope at some point Mkbhd will prove me wrong. I would be happy to eat my words.

The fact that bluesky has a CEO is all you need to know.

Not understanding? Bluesky code is all Open Source and available for anyone to run and build upon. Mastodon has a nonprofit and has a Owner but anyone can spin up a Mastodon instance and fork the software

So as a 'influencer' if either get pressured or shut down then people just build another social account on the new platform? Everyone will migrate with no loss of followers right? Right?

No need to when their data is store in a PDS and their identity is decentralised as Bluesky’s protocols used DIDs

Another example: Bluesky hired one of the most famous JS developers who in this podcast says Jack Dorsey lost interest in Bluesky cause he’s “more focused in bitcoin things”.
Nostr hasn’t made it to the agenda yet.
