Book: I&#39;m way more a visual and music person than a text person, so I&#39;m not a great writer since I&#39;ve never practiced text, but it&#39;s probably the fastest way to deliver a story<br/><br/>2. Comic/book mix: the idea was to draw what&#39;s best for visuals and use usual text for everything else like dialogues. So it&#39;s not a comic book, not a regular book, but a mix of both. It&#39;s an experimental thing, I haven&#39;t seen it anywhere, so I guess I should avoid it<br/><br/>3.

A self-driving car might be the safest as in cautious, but if people are unable to guess what it&#39;s about to do, there will be problems, even if it follows traffic laws better than people.

If I want to write a long post, I would have to split it into several posts for Mastodon and Bluesky (split differently — Mastodon allows 500 symbols whilst Bluesky allows 300), and many Nostr clients just don&#39;t display articles.<br/>I think the best option is to have my own website where I would publish all my random shit and then post a link to it on multiple social networks.

Account transfer to another Mastodon server is pain in the ass.<br/>Servers can block other servers, and the server users have no control over it.<br/>Some servers are managed by enthusiasts who can suddenly decide to shut down their server for reasons like no time and/or no money or just because.<br/>2. I don&#39;t see how Bluesky is decentralized now. Maybe it will be someday, but considering how governments like to block random stuff, the default instance bsky.social can be suddenly blocked as well. You can also get bamboozled from the Bluesky side.<br/>Since Bluesky mostly uses its servers, it needs money to run them. It&#39;s still not clear how exactly it will get revenue.<br/><br/>I might be wrong about something here, feel free to correct me. 2024-10-15T02:29:12Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0m6pz75z3q8ne54gsc58s0lv92ga443lgvjxj4cm7t22n89k5njqzyqhvqkp60k4k6llwxths65japjj622jnt7exajyzwfvja7mr7gxl295xw9a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy4dk2md9klmvcvmghuh5sve56yzudxqyx7pvhz5wfp46yurxgu3cw3ehzu'>nevent1q…ehzu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Wow that&#39;s quite a answer!

If one googles social networks with anti-corporation philosophy it&#39;s inevitable to see Nostr put in the same sentence as Mastodon and Bluesky. Those two aren&#39;t perfect, so I decided to give Nostr a chance (which is not perfect either), and here I am. Out of all 3, Nostr seems to have the least fundamental problem since it&#39;s not the protocol design as far as I can tell, but the lack of audience variety. Yeah, Bitcoiners are everywhere here 😅 Some redditors even publish posts like &#34;Non-Bitcoin accounts to follow on Nostr&#34;.
