#Nostr is so fuggen dope! It has music recommendations built in the protocol!

And the creator of it made a scrobbler that also seems to work with pleroma!

One of the many things I absolut love about the #nostr protocol is that it is close to impossible to figure out exactly how many followers a person has. It makes it completely horizontal and removes gamification at protocol level.

#Mastodon bettelt jetzt um #Spenden mit nervigen In-App Bannern = Restuser abzocken! Warum sollte man für solch eine absterbende #Denunzianten #Nazi Plattform spenden? Wenn es doch das zensurresistente #nostr gibt, das solide von #Bitcoin Fans finanziert wird? techcrunch.com/2025/07/23/o...

So a #bluesky #mastodon bridge has triggered a huge drama requiring technical experts (like the mastodon creator) to step up , explain what was happening and so on.

I never have been fond of unwanted , imposed , jammed down my instance bridges .

So, here's the new politic for all the services hosted on projetretro.io projetretro.fr and projetretro.tf :

- All bridges (bluesky, nostr, your mom lovense) will be defederated and if applyable firewalled from accessing our network

- All "echo" type software like those who copy Xitter will be suspended and also firewalled

I choose to be on the #fedi , not on #bluesky, #nostr and so on. Don't Force me to be on those without my knowledge nor consent

Damnit. This (and the podcast so far) really just feels like an attempt to push #nostr and #bitcoin, not a serious effort to advance the best decentralized solutions for our problems. I'm open to them but my understanding so far is that they have lots of downsides that make other options (like #ActivityPub and #WebMonetization) worth putting more effort behind. Where are the public conversations between experts on both sides who can hash it out understandably for us?

Well! Look what #Twitter founder and #Bluesky / #Nostr co-founder Jack #Dorsey just gave $10m to...

'The team at “and Other Stuff” is also working on a social media “Bill of Rights”…which spells out what social media platforms need to provide in areas like #privacy, #security, #interoperability, #transparency, #identity, self-governance, and #portability.' #DMA #DMCCA

'The group originally met through collaborating on #Nostr, an open, “apolitical” social networking protocol that has been receiving the bulk of #Dorsey’s attention since #Twitter’s sale to Elon #Musk and his stepping down from social network #Bluesky’s board. However, the team will experiment with other tools, too, like #ActivityPub'
