My hand hurts when I hold a pencil for too long, it has always been that way since when I was young. The computer saved my ability to write longer texts.
Initially I didn't see much benefit either, my point was just that there would have to be some interface that the client and server would have to speak, right? So why not Nostr? Why invent a new one? It could not benefit anyone, but also wouldn't hurt.
Of course it could, but why do it on Zulip if Nostr exists? Now you depend on a Zulip server and all its complicated APIs that some other company controls.
If you use Nostr groups it's pretty much set in stone and you can just augment it, while at the same time using other tools that already exist for Nostr if you need.
And the agents identity part is just easier with Nostr, no need to create fake emails for the agents, create a separate bot admin dashboard and so on.
Not to mention that once you have a global identity layer it becomes easier to get people from outside the company to join temporarily (just a use case that came to my mind).
Atproto apps are not like an RSS reader that runs on the users' computers and connects directly to the sources of content.
Atproto apps are servers that control, filter and shape the content they serve to readers.
Atproto apps can censor, shadowban, show ads, algorithmize the feed into anything it wants. The user is powerless and the creator is a victim that can't do anything besides crying.
The fact that any person can host their data anywhere is completely meaningless since they have no way of distributing that data.
This works great for me to transfer stuff between my own devices in my home, but it's not an AirDrop replacement at all, so I don't know why they advertise it like that.
This should count as a form of segregation against such minority.
