Corporate/enterprise data analytics lol I took really weird path I was trying to build B2B saas / consumer insights tool because the current stuff is really outdated, that forced me to figure out how to work with twitter/meta/reddit etc and their terrible (nonexistent) developer relations teams and zero API that devs can actually use, that put me down a legal and spiritual journey of "who actually owns this content?", that eventually led me to looking for alternatives around the same time bluesky launched publicly, I then learned about the AT protocol because I was curious about how it worked, I then went looking for other protocols and found nostr, I ended up liking everything about it more than atproto, and now I'm here

you heard of bitchat before nostr? that's cool copy/pasting from another reply I had for my story: I was trying to build B2B saas / consumer insights tool because the current stuff is really outdated, that forced me to figure out how to work with twitter/meta/reddit etc and their terrible (nonexistent) developer relations teams and zero API that devs can actually use, that put me down a legal and spiritual journey of "who actually owns this content?", that eventually led me to looking for alternatives around the same time bluesky launched publicly, I then learned about the AT protocol because I was curious about how it worked, I then went looking for other protocols and found nostr, I ended up liking everything about it more than atproto, and now I'm here

I found it in Bitcoin adjacent communities but this was in the early days where there was like 200 people at most and it was just nerds that happened to have a Bitcoin background…

enshittification has happened and now 90% of users use a centralized client that rhymes with primate, and it has become bitcoin slop some people like fiatjaf completely lost any semblance of credibility, for example I used to be a major contributor & maintainer of the NIPs repo but a few other people that wanted to allow pushing out slop fast ruined the “specs” process and eventually I got kicked out for what I presume was saying “you did this wrong” to too many garbage specs some that remain are @9ec7a778…4bb56437 @0xtr @32e18276…5c68e245 etc..

if you have started with primal, I would recommend going through your follow list and unfollowing a majority of them. a good chunk of those people are indirectly affiliated with the client that push slop or are dead accounts

very odd journey here, copy/pasting from another reply I had: I was trying to build B2B saas / consumer insights tool because the current stuff is really outdated, that forced me to figure out how to work with twitter/meta/reddit etc and their terrible (nonexistent) developer relations teams and zero API that devs can actually use, that put me down a legal and spiritual journey of "who actually owns this content?", that eventually led me to looking for alternatives around the same time bluesky launched publicly, I then learned about the AT protocol because I was curious about how it worked, I then went looking for other protocols and found nostr, I ended up liking everything about it more than atproto, and now I'm here
