   ActivityPub has an "outbox" that all software implements because it's part of the standard. It shows a paginated list of all your public posts ever. But if you scrape it "without permission" people get very upset and say you're violating their privacy. Instead we use the inbox exclusively, and only deal with events we receive. Meanwhile Nostr relays are pure outboxes. Seems like a missed opportunity. And why do they leave it in all the software if people cry and scream about invading their privacy so much?

     @alex I think the unstated reason is that people liked the small, weird network where interactions all felt personal.

     @Moon That situation where a remote profile is totally empty, could be fixed by fetching the outbox in realtime. Not even storing the events, just fetching them as a proxy.

     @alex nostr has a different implied contract and the architecture is such so it doesn't feel as offensive that everything is indexed, it just is what it is and if you don't like it then don't use it.
     
     anti-search sentiment here is basically white replacement theory for fediblockers

     So ActivityPub is mostly operating as a push model? How unfortunate. Also very strange about the privacy presumption.
     
     nostr relays are both outboxes and inboxes.
