@fu I am on Nostr, but I don't use it much. I'm also on Bluesky, but I loathe logging in there and seeing almost nothing but hyperventilating political posters.
@lnxw37j1@fu I tested Nostr. It's not really P2P. You have to connect to relays and you see only folks which use the same relay. You would have to follow a lot of relays to connect to all folks. The conversations were mostly about crypto money stuff. It was a closed bubble. Nobody cared about me posting other issues. #cryptocapistalism Sorry if I already posted this.
@vegos_f06@lnxw37j1 I agree the biggest problem is the over saturation of #BitcoinBois. If I ever get around to it, which based on past history I probably won't, I'd set up my own relay that filters out Crypto talk so that normies can actually take advantage of the network without it. Very hard too because of how much understanding of cryptocurrency, and cryptography in general, is central to why Nostr is useful. yeah, its not P2P, there are P2P social media platforms, like those that use the Scuttlebutt protocol. I know I set up a status.im account before I learned of NOSTR and I don't remember now if that's P2P or use encrypted like NOSTR, but in like a year I never got any interaction.
@lnxw37j1 I think the BlueSky bridge and NOSTR bridge are good options for posting and reading content from an ActivityPub server. The biggest downside is that the only BlueSky bridge I know of @bsky.brid.gy requires BlueSky users to opt-in to the bridge, and many of the largest AP servers, like mastodon.social, block both nostr bridges I know of mostr.pub and momostr.pink. But that's also an advantage of the the #Fediverse at large, freedom of association, including the right not to associate, is incredibly central to the very idea of the 'verse.
For year the bigger deal may be that I think both services are incompatible with current #GNUsocial implementation.
