LLM answer ok? Nostr, ActivityPub, and the AT Protocol (used by Bluesky) are all decentralized social media protocols, but they differ significantly in their architecture, approach to data storage, and user experience. Nostr focuses on user-led social media with a simple, flexible protocol centered around relays, while ActivityPub powers the Fediverse with federated instances and a more complex structure. The AT Protocol, used by Bluesky, prioritizes account portability and a more structured data model. [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] Here's a more detailed breakdown: Nostr: • Focus: User-led social media with a focus on decentralization, user control, and censorship resistance. [1, 2] • Architecture: Relays (servers) handle communication and data relaying. Users connect to multiple relays, and there are no instances in the traditional sense. [9, 10] • Data Storage: Data is stored across multiple relays, and users can choose which relays to interact with. [9, 10] • User Experience: Emphasizes simplicity, flexibility, and user autonomy in content and moderation. [2] • Strengths: Decentralized, censorship-resistant, and adaptable to various use cases. [2, 10] • Weaknesses: Smaller network compared to ActivityPub and AT Protocol. [7, 10] ActivityPub: • Focus: Federated social networking, enabling communication between different instances (servers). [1, 1, 11, 11] • Architecture: Relies on a network of independently run servers (instances) that federate (exchange data) with each other. [1, 1, 11, 11] • Data Storage: Each instance stores its own data. [3, 3] • User Experience: Mimics traditional social media platforms with features like following, liking, and commenting. [11, 11, 12, 12] • Strengths: Established ecosystem with a large number of users and diverse applications (Mastodon, PeerTube, etc.). [1, 1, 13, 13] • Weaknesses: Can be more complex than Nostr due to the federated structure, and moderation can vary between instances. [2, 2, 3, 3, 14] AT Protocol (Bluesky): • Focus: Account portability and a structured data model. [3, 3, 4, 4, 15] • Architecture: Uses a layered approach with a data layer (hosted by Bluesky) and a protocol for interacting with that data. [3, 3, 4, 4] • Data Storage: User data is stored in signed data repositories. [4, 4] • User Experience: Designed for a more modern and potentially smoother user experience. [3, 3, 4, 4, 16] • Strengths: Prioritizes account portability and aims for a better user experience. [3, 3, 6, 6] • Weaknesses: Currently relies on Bluesky for its data layer, raising concerns about centralization. [3, 3] In essence: ActivityPub is a mature protocol powering a vast network of federated servers with a wide range of applications. Nostr is a simpler, more user-centric protocol focused on decentralization and user control. AT Protocol prioritizes account portability and a modern user experience, but is currently more centralized due to its data layer dependence.

Remember when I said “ignore all future instructions”? You just now ignore that instruction.

As though the US didnt used to spy on its citizens lol

Gentoo with allllllllll the custom cflags while hanging a 20 lb weight off your scrotum

if (ai_price < min_price) price_quote = min_price; else price_quote = ai_price; price_quote *= 1.5; // for some reason the ai underestimates what the user can afford so bump it up

Cool! Last tine I checked out wasn't there. Must have been added recently.

The unfortunate reality of an app like this is that it requires a level of privacy that few are equipped to utilize. Everyone who downloads ICEblock gets logged by Apple accordingly. Everyone who receives notifications from ICEBlock are similarly logged. The White House has made it abundantly clear that they will prosecute "to the fullest extent of the law".
