The Fediverse isn’t the only form of decentralized social media that exists.

There’s also the Relayverse, of which Nostr is prominent.

In many ways, the Relayverse is a mirror universe of the Fediverse.

People there get very angry if you’re not into crypto.

Another weird quirk of the Relayverse is that people seemingly love spam.

I’m not joking here. They positively love being flooded by unsolicited DMs peddling casinos and boner pills.

If you tell people on the Relayverse that you think all the spam sucks, they’ll tell you, “You should feel honoured to see all this free speech in action! Nay, you should pay for it!”

Jack Dorsey really, really loves the Relayverse.

He’s more active on Nostr than on Bluesky.

@atomicpoet He wants to be above the common folk who use social media. Nostr is so far beyond anything that the masses can use. He is in love with crypto. Nostr is his baby.

@mike @atomicpoet It isn't for an elite group of people who will continue to use it because they are far beyond the reach of any regulation. It is monopoly money.
