I’ve not heard of activity pub. Given that, I’m already skeptical that it has more momentum than nostr, but maybe I’m out of the loop. Is there anything it does better?
Activity pub is what is behind Mastodon and many other services.

mastodon allows censorship on every server at the discretion of the owner and no moving your social graph. its kind of the opposite of nostr. would not consider them competitors.

Nostr is just as easily censored at the relay. Just like Mastodon you can host your own which is the one true independence if you had to go that far.

disingenuous take imo. hosting a nostr relay hooks me into the rest of nostr and swapping relays is very simple and non destructive to my social graph. starting up my own social network from 0 users is not a solution to censorship.

Ah, thanks. I made a nostr client that filters out Bitcoin and nostr-related content and the vast bulk of what is left is cross-posting from mastodon, so I’m tempted to believe you now. Haha However, is the protocol behind it as censorship resistant as nostr? I wonder if all those folks cross-posting will just become nostr only posters if something dirty happens with activity pub.
