Interesting thoughts by @nostrich about the AT protocol: https://fiatjaf.com/ab1127fb.html in its current form there are probably too few incentives to start your own BGS… Plus it doesn‘t seem to be possible to connect to multiple BGSs. What really is the purpose of hosting your own PDS if the content may just get filtered out downstream? Here is a good overview of the architecture: https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/5-5-2023-federation-architecture

Both have a common enemy
(It’s not Twitter)
Whats your opinion on Bluesky‘s approach to decentralization?
#Nostr can‘t be controlled which may be very important in the future. There is no CEO and no central point of failure. That‘s why I‘m contributing to the open source projects and am working on a few small projects leveraging this amazing protocol
But this will introduce more inconsistency if a user uses multiple devices with different relay settings.
True, there is a danger of inconsistency. With the information from NIP-65 the bookmark list could be recreated pretty accurately though
The main reason you do it this way is so you can replace the list with a new one when you add or remove stuff (via the replaceable list spec). If you have them as separate events they aren’t as easy...
Hmm yea you‘re right the deletion aspect is kind of tricky with single events 🤔 one way of solving this would be to create addition and deletion events, and bookmarks which are followed by a deletion event would then be hidden in clients
Single encrypted json object (list of event ids)
Whats the reasoning behind this? Isn‘t there a danger of these event list objects becoming too big? Most of the time users probably want to look up their most recent bookmarks, so there is no need of downloading the whole list (so single encrypted events & pagination would be beneficial here)

Same question here. I am implementing similar features in Blowater and would like to be compatible when reasonable
Single encrypted bookmark events are probably the better solution, since it‘s less taxing on the relays (pagination etc.)

I’m changing them to encrypted bookmark lists. They are local only for now.
Ah nice thanks! Is the list gonna be one single encrypted json object or every bookmark as its own encrypted bookmark event?

@nostrich are damus bookmarks local only or sent as an event to relays?

Is there a way to search for npubs in #damus ? Tried to search for a profile and nothing came up
