  • I wrote a long answer to this, but forgot to post and lost it :(. But here’s what I wanted to say:

    I forgot about Threads, that’s indeed a big user base.

    Just because the standard is managed by the W3C doesn’t mean they’ll do a good job of managing it, but it’s probably more positive than negative.

    I don’t know enough about how the W3C is organised and accepts contributions, but wasn’t one of the concerns of many AP users when threads announced their AP integration, that threads would immediately become a big player and essentially EEE AP? Tbh, I still fear that.

    I’m enjoying this conversation, it’s brought my hopes for AP a bit higher, I hope I’ve managed to convince you that nostr is something to keep an eye on.



  • I think having many clients is a good thing. The reddit API debacle was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me, and got me to move away from centralised services.

    Actually I think the better moderation structure that comes with AP is a plus point.

    I can see how some people would prefer that, but Nostr also has a solution to this need. Not as good an experience as AP, if that’s specifically what you’re looking for, but nonetheless. If you want a curated, modded and filtered experience, you can just connect on to nostr nodes that filter heavily.

    Biggest strength of AP in my eyes is that it’s a W3C standard.

    I thought this when I came to AP at first too, but it’s been a W3C standard for a long time, and is still very niche.
