       What are people's thoughts on #nostr vs #activitypub? From what I've read nostr attempts to "fix" things like server-based moderation and social graphs, but the system of relays you publish to sounds fairly complicated. And your "identity" is just a public key hash instead of a readable username.Sounds like the nostr protocol is much simpler, which is a common developer complaint for AP.Someone created an activitypub/nostr bridge called mostr which seems cool.

       @jameswynn AFAICT, Nostr is by and for free-speech absolutists, who are incensed by the idea that you can block an entire site of abusive people in one stroke.See https://nostr.com/comparisons/mastodon and try to infer what they mean by "censorship" in this context.For a datapoint about attitude/maturity:When I asked the guy who created Mostr whether it was opt-in or there was some way to block it, he replied "if you don't want people to read it, don't put it on the internet," then blocked me here.

       To be clear, I am currently a fan of the moderation style of the fediverse. It seems to be working pretty well.
