   What should I know about #nostr ?

   How is it different from #activitypub ?

   Which one is better and why?

     Mastodon is being developed by a non-profit organization.

     Do you mean that Nostr is literally built by the community?

     @thefrankring non-profit does not mean open-governance. Nostr is not only built by the community, it is *planned* by the community too.

     Around here we just have to wait until @Gargron decides that he thinks that Quote Toots are a good idea.

     @schizanon @thefrankring I'm not in charge of the ActivityPub protocol, that's the W3C.

     @schizanon

     I'm assuming those are issues that could get resolved over time.

     As for the community, I'm also assuming that they must be very tech oriented lol

     @thefrankring put it this way; there's not a single photograph of grass on the entire network

     Yeah, if Nostr is valuable, I'm going to wait that it becomes more developed and diversified.

     So far, I like the Fediverse, there's a bit of everything.

     And even then, I find it a bit too pro-linux and things like that.

     @thefrankring the thing I like the most about Nostr is how it's being developed. They have a democratic recommendation process for adding new features. That's way more open than the Mastodon/ActivityPub approach wherein a handful of maintainers make all the decisions.

     @thefrankring Nostr is like ActivityPub, except your id is a cryptographic key instead of a domain name. That means you don't have to pick an "instance". Instead there are "relays" which anyone can run, and you can choose different ones to publish to at any time.

     On fedi, either you have to run your own instance, or accept the fact that your instance provider can deplatform you for any reason at any time and you lose all your followers and content.

     @thefrankring some downsides include:

     - no delete/edit after publishing
     - no image uploads unless the client uses a third party
     - the users *only* talk about Bitcoin
     - very flakey network (sometimes you lose followers)
