Ask HN: Why can't I host my own email
nostr (https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr) seems to be a minimal possible solution. It doesn't seem to be much in use though, so I guess once that happens a few issues will come up.

Facebook to allow calls for violence against Putin
Nostr [1] seems interesting. I don't trust the idea of "relays" on the long term but it seems like it should be possible to develop alternative ways to distribute the content, and it can be a way to bootstrap the network in the short term. Though at this moment it seems a bit too bare-bones, and it would need some interesting application built on top of it to make it usable.

Towards a Greater Federated Architecture: What does a next-gen Fediverse platform look like? How features might help the network move forward?
https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr comes to mind as so far the best example of p2p social networking.

Ask HN: Getting Started with Web3 Development
I don’t know if this is the answer you’re looking for because it’s not tied to a cryptocurrency but take a look at nostr: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr
It’s a protocol that allows nodes to gossip event messages amongst each other. The event relays can be used as a backend to provide data to your web/desktop/mobile apps.

The Nostr Protocol - NIP01
Nostr stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays". It is a new type of social experience on the web where "dumb" relays can be used to send messages from one user to another, in a secure, censorship resistant manner.

A Look at Bluesky
There are some activitypub apps that support nomadic identity like HubZilla and Streams: https://codeberg.org/streams/streams
Another non-activitypub alternative is nostr, where you identity is a public/private key pair: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr

For now the biggest clients are twitter-like clients. A few popular ones are Damus (ios), Nostros (android) or iris (desktop). You can find a bigger list of projects and relays here: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr

Asking third-party reddit app devs to consider Lemmy after recent Reddit API changes. (Not just Apollo) + New Lemmy Migration initiative under works.
Nostr seems really cool but regarding nvote it is listed as deprecated in the nostr implementations list and if you look at its commit history it seems pretty dead, with the last commit in Jan, a bunch of them in December and then nothing all the way back to the start of 2022... Also, it is listed as deprecated in part because a user's private key is handled server side, which invalidates a lot of the advantages of nostr.

📣 Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.

Nostr (“Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.” – An Introduction
https://www.nostr.net maintains a list of all known clients. I am a bit partial to astral, though it is resource intensive. You could try coracle, snort, or iris to see if they're more your fancy.
