@silverpill> Each server still has a personality, is responsible for some types of moderation and helps community to form (I heard that Nostr also moves in that direction with its relays).
yeah in nostr they call them relays. most of which are provided by nameless entities, few provided by named individuals.
Advanced nostr users, client developers, relay developers already expressed dissatisfaction with built in limitations of nostr protocol
(like for example, afaik both nostr-relay wss:// & activitypub REQUIRE valid domain name + SSL certificate is a must)
ActivityPub could in theory just use ipv4 or ipv6 address directly without SSL, but it is not allowed by protocol specification.
In nostr there is no relay discoverability. It is not broadcast network. Poor flood protections. No good peer\friend discoverability. and so on & much more, obstacles.
So advanced nostriches already began to work on nostr successors, enabling gossip protocol & dht in nostr clients.
Also one client publishing personal data to many relays without control, guarantees to clean own data - is privacy nightmare.
My post is a call not to repeat nostr mistakes, solve them.
>You can even write activities to a USB drive and then give it to your peer
that's more like sneakernet #scuttlebutt (& Co, & similiar f2f projects) (In this case I usually ask why not just work on them instead)
