First time seeing a service support Nostr public keys instead of email.
It is interesting but it also does not inspire much confidence in this service since anyone who's used Nostr knows exactly what and who it's for.
Weirdo crypto bros?
Monero is pretty good tho.
They don't accept that, that I see. Show me wrong.
And Raging angry right wingers. Though a lot of those are moving to mainstream services like Twitter and Facebook.
It's swarmed by crypto content but it's a nice, simple, distributed protocol. Run your own node; compared to any AP service, it's astonishingly lightweight. Peer, or not; refuse to handle traffic from the crypto heavy nodes.
It's a fantastic, well designed protocol. Read a few NIPS, then read the Activity Pub design and you tell me which one you think is more well-designed.
I won't ignore that the majority of traffic was crypto stuff, but it's slowly broadening out to more legitimate content, like porn.
Pretty sure it also has a decent amount of alt-right MAGA content as well.
I say, what are you implying sir? I use it for memes and talking to strangers.
