Everything from ActivityPub to Nostr to ATproto to Pubky is built on entities and events. They share 90% of the concepts. The rough details will remain the same. The specific choices are what make or break protocols and what make Nostr inherently more flexible and developer friendly
Synonym has tried to build their own “Bitcoin web” in the past. An unnecessarily complicated and bloated ecosystem. Their most recent pivot is Pubky as they try to grasp onto what remains of the market that hasn’t been captured by Nostr. All they do is reinventing the wheel for corporate capture. ActivityPub solved a problem in what they thought was the best way. And to be fair it was good for its time. Now ATproto is trying to leverage a similar design but with more marketing bullshit and a new platform to capture people. Pubky is no different. Nostr solved a problem and they are looking for the newest marketing hypeshit to push, so they can capture users.
