This is one respect in which #nostr does #federation better.
There it's possible to see other people's blocklist, so you know how censorious they are.
That knowledge allows you to unfollow them in order to interrupt that effect.
I still think on balance, #mastodon is better but that's one of the exceptions.
Episode 198 of Satoshi's Plebs is out now!
In this episode @Kenshin BTC and @mcintosh discuss about Bitcoin mining!
Mining is fundamental to the Bitcoin Network. Without it, there wouldn't be Bitcoin. Understanding how mining works is a little complicated so in this episode we take the time to break things down and explain how mining actually works. I

I will stay on Mastodon but I will also use Nostr as proof of truth
What is Nostr ? Check this video

I know it hasn’t got many users, but I just open sourced my way of crossposting from my website to my #Nostr account here - https://github.com/j4ckxyz/site2nostr. At the end of the day, 1 of the protocols will need to win, so may as well automate posting to some

working on adding image crossposting now.
oh good now i have an identity on #nostr that i didn't want. there's no way to generate another one in MyNostr? they'll let me buy one for $20 but what if i don't want to be `emory.00000@` because it's stupid. i forgot the 1 at the end.
@info You're hard with #nostr
The protocol is way more powerful than #activitypub ! It's truly distributed, not decentralized.
Comparing Decentralized Social Protocols: Why ActivityPub (Fediverse) is the Best Choice Over Bluesky (AtProto) and Nostr
The #socialweb is shifting away from corporate-controlled paths like #Twitter and #Facebook toward decentralized, more #DIY alternatives. The idea is simple: instead of a single company having control, decentralized protocols allow different platforms to connect while giving people the power to shape and control their digital paths. Three major decentralized protocols have emerged: Fediverse (#ActivityPub) – The most established and widely used, forming a "native" backbone of the […]@thesofafox I did report some of it through the Damus interface. But I don’t know how effective that is given the nature of how #nostr works. I did not yet look if there is more information out there on how to deal with that illegal content situation.
Fediverse, what are your thoughts on Nostr? I've been using it for a few days now and I frankly like its capabilities more than activitypub for a few reasons:
1. I am not at the mercy of any one server admin for my account to be held without self hosting.
2. The clients are much more diverse
3. You can do a lot more with a single Nostr account and client (using Amethyst allows you to participate in group chats, DMs, a marketplace to buy things, live streams, etc without accounts on multiple servers running multiple different backends)
4. Speaking of DMs, they're encrypted on Nostr aside from metadata.
5. Zaps are a super cool integration
6. A little bonus: I can view most of the mastodon accounts I follow on there anyways thanks to the mostr.pub bridge.
That's probably where I will be both posting and viewing mainly from here, but I'm curious how people on Mastodon view Nostr as well. To me it seems like it accomplishes what ActivityPub wants to while being a little less centralized and adding better functionality to clients.
@ralfbachmann Missing #nostr as a good alternative.
@pierostrada @schizo Ah, ecco, perché non riesco a convertirlo in indirizzo #nostr da #mostr
