All this about Nostr vs ActivityPub, but no mention of ATProto? If you're going to do a pros / cons, it would seem important to include the biggest network

Sorry, but I don't think the crypto based social media is ever going to attract sufficient developers and users to reach critical mass.

X is bigger than ATProto and wasn't included either?

It's not an open protocol, scuttlebutt would deserve inclusion before Musk Social

This article was never meant as a comparison between existing federated and decentralized protocols. But we do take up the challenge for the next, good idea!
