Go for it. Shouldn’t be too hard and will teach you at a deep level how the technology works.

It’s pretty easy to implement your own! The trick in making a good ban list is identifying the bots.

Better start looking for the needle

From what I understand you could host your own PDS and post anything you want. The Bluesky client app may still filter out your posts, but different clients theoretically wouldn’t. But users anywhere can leverage the tools to create any kind of moderation filters they want.

Lmaoo I posted one of those awhile ago 😅 it was my motivation to build my automated block list

Totally agree. But honestly people separating themselves out onto different platforms like that wouldn’t be all that bad if those platforms were all interoperable. We aren’t there yet but to me it seems like that’s the direction we are going in.

But it’s too small and niche that I find there’s not much benefit to being on it compared to more successful protocols like atproto or activitypub

I mean anyone could make a nostr client without zap features. When I said they’re intrinsically linked I meant that nostr was mostly adopted in its infancy by bitcoiners, which is how we got zaps, it hasn’t grown as much as other protocols and to this day is used mostly by bitcoiners.

I think general hostility towards bitcoin on places like BlueSky and elsewhere stem from negative interactions with certain parts of the bitcoin community.
That or because most people rightfully view shitcoins as scams and don’t know enough to not lump bitcoin in with the same group.

Totally agree! I love bitcoin, It’s unfortunate that part of the community has seeded itself there, I find many positive bitcoiners here!

Having an alternative to switch to takes time, discussion, and playing around.

Yes I do. There are people doing it right now. Check out the Developer feed, people discuss it regularly. That doesn’t mean any of those projects will become successful, but people are playing around with the technology 100%

It would be, but activitypub isn’t perfect which is why new protocols like nostr and atproto are being created. It’s not bad to have competition of ideas. I hope activitypub is able to implement the improvements that atproto and nostr have made. Do that and make them obsolete.

And quite frankly it’s easier to launch a new app built on Atproto than it would be to fix issues like identity and data transfer on ActivityPub.

Atproto isn’t even 2 years old, and BlueSky has only just recently seen a boom in user signups. Other apps will come in time.
