The Fediverse isn’t the only form of decentralized social media that exists.
There’s also the Relayverse, of which Nostr is prominent.
In many ways, the Relayverse is a mirror universe of the Fediverse.
People there get very angry if you’re not into crypto.

Another weird quirk of the Relayverse is that people seemingly love spam.
I’m not joking here. They positively love being flooded by unsolicited DM peddling casinos and boner pills.

If you tell people on the Relayverse that you think all the spam sucks, they’ll tell you, “You should feel honoured to see all this free speech in action! Nay, you should pay for it!”

@atomicpoet Crypto scam victims are the worst, they’re usually very deep in the rabbit hole and getting extraordinarily angry if you present arguments and reason…

Jack Dorsey really, really loves the Relayverse.
He’s more active on Nostr than on Bluesky.

@strongthany The pro of the Relayverse is that you don't need a server because it runs on relays.
The con of the Relayverse is that it runs on relays, you can't use a server.

@atomicpoet what do you think are the pros and cons of relayverse in comparison to fediverse?

@breadbin I would consider Email and Usenet to be part of the Fediverse.
If it enables two-way communication across multiple nodes, then it's federated.

@atomicpoet Email? Web? FidoNet? Usenet? :) It’s not like it was invented a few years ago.
