Post from @rabble on why he's chosen to use #Nostr and not #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. He makes some compelling points. Personally I am not too worried about the server admin parts of his argument (I have enough control, even if I don't control the server), but I agree that this isn't ideal:

"You can’t use a single fediverse identity with your profile and followers in Peertube, Mobilizon, WriteFreely, and Pixelfed. You need a totally separate account in each one."

@ricmac @rabble Rabble, do you feel like this note tells the whole story about your motivations for working on Nostr?

@evan @ricmac this was a very quick write up was a reply to a question of why I was working on Nostr and not ActivityPub. It deserves a deeper take because the details matter.

We need to look at not just what is possible on each tech stack, but also what is being actively used. E.G. Nostr does have custom algorithms but it’s clunky and there are only a few dozen. Custom algorithms work really well on Bluesky. I could say, we do the custom algorithms too, but that misses the point.

@rabble @ricmac yes, absolutely! I'm happy to engage with the protocol critiques but I don't think your framing here is fully transparent.
