I think the hex code thing is because of the bridge that one of the gleasons developed. I'm tempted to mute it already tbh.
I'm still not sure what the point to it is really, it's filled with crypto fanatics apparently and that's how they intend to fund the nodes. They still have jannies and moderation, just less humanized and community focused. They still have instances, they're just more often closed off from others. It does apparently costs less money to run a node than an instance. But if/when you're banned from the major nodes, you are pretty much fucked from using the site. Seems like a dumb fad to me, fixes none of the problems with the fediverse and just adds to them.
They still have blocking, you can still get defederated from their instances/nodes and judging by its most vocal advocates.. There will be no shortage of gay drama there. Also, you dropped your bottle out of your pram again. Here y'go, clumsy baby ?
So you can't block people or defederate them, and there's no jannies? What's to stop someone from making accounts to spam gore/porn/pedophilic content? Is this just basically an unmoderated imageboard for the fediverse?
It’s less complicated, according to Alex anyway. I’ll explain it like this.. rn you could defed me and I’d lose the ability to talk to everyone on chudbuds. That isn’t possible on nostr because everyone uses multiple relays, so even if one relay bans you, you can still reach everyone.
Now I'm even more confused. It's better because there aren't blocks or defeds (except there are?), and it's better because there aren't jannies (except there are?). And people can still post illegal content, but the jannies don't have to worry about it because they aren't hosting it, just "relaying" it.
Maybe I'm just being a boomer here but I really don't understand the point. Sounds like just a more complicated version of activity pub instances.
Relays just don’t host media at all. In terms of this hypothetical problem of someone spamming cp, it’s just like if someone made an account on chudbuds and did that. Except you’d personally be hosting illegal content.
So again, is that a practical difference to most fedi users or not?
It's not difficult to make alts, I have like 10-12 at this point. Most people seem to have ~1-3 active accounts, and main on one instance. You can already bypass defederations easily, with either you making alts or those in the echo chamber instances making alts. So what's the fucking point for the average fedi user? I get why people like bot love the idea, because they're incapable of taking personal accountability for being defederated/fucked with and think the jannies are just out to get them.
You don't register an account with a relay, you generate your own key pair to authenticate yourself. Relays just send your messages to other users. If a relay kicks you there are still others you can use.
when someone posts content it can go to multiple relays at once. other people go to the relay to fetch the data. it differs from AP in that there's no "federation" aspect between relays like you would see from instances here, people fetch data directly from multiple different relays.
this is all just from me skimming the site this morning.
@chudbere@Sir_Ivissia@bot I could be totally wrong, but from what I'm reading in the comments, it sounds like the hosting on the blockchain (Maybe?) is just holding a link to another website. In that case it is like most NFTs, where you actually only buy a link to another website that takes you to the picture you own. Apparently with nfts, and maybe this, most of the stuff is hosted off the blockchain because it's too expensive to load that much data on the blockchain.
@bot@Sui@Sir_Ivissia@chudbere Nostr is much more centralizing by design. Fewer and much, much larger relays that eventually only rich faggots like jack and elon will be able to run.
@bot@Sir_Ivissia@Sui@chudbere I don’t understand what you are saying. When you say fedi you mean activitypub? Activitypub is over? Nostr will just turn into twitter 2.0 run by the same faggots. you will have the illusion of freedom because there will be a couple dozen nodes but all will be coopted and ones that aren’t will be blocked from network.
A relay can’t be “blocked from the network”. These aren’t instances communicating with one another. I do think there’ll be like tranny relays that segregate themselves though, but that’s irrelevant, and anyone that uses one can still communicate with the rest of the network if they want.
@bot@Sir_Ivissia@Sui@chudbere a node can block anyone they want and users can determine which nodes to use. it will make no difference in shunnings, which I am fine with. My problem is that all data goes through nodes and then to users instead of directly from instane to instance.
Anyway, if you want to see the actual future of social, imho, check out https://gorf.social/ We will hopefully have activitypub and Nostr by end of the month and, much more importantly, RSS next week - inbound and outbound. Built to be totally agnostic, we can add any protocol that comes along seamlessly.
@animeirl@derek@bot no, it's better than fedi because it uses way more resources to accomplish essentially the same thing, and is backed by billionaires
@derek@Sir_Ivissia@Sui@chudbere@bot >Activitypub is over? Yeah. >Nostr will just turn into twitter 2.0 run by the same faggots. And the fediverse will just turn into a network for pederasts.
@book@Sir_Ivissia@Sui@bot@chudbere Twitter was the largest network in the world and Jack is back. The only way to banish pedos is centralization. chose your fighter and stop chasing the next thing. anyone with any common sense can see what nostr is and will be.
@book@Sir_Ivissia@Sui@bot@chudbere not right now but once the cool nodes require $20K/month or more he will reveal his true self, which he has already showed the world i might remind you.
We'll just go to a new web zone and exploit that developer's free labor until he tries to monetize or centralize it. We have done this many times before and become exceedingly good at it.
