Honestly: Do you think nostr will succeed?
#asknostr #discuss
Discussion
what does succeed mean?
it’s being used, so it’s already succeeded
Hmm not sure that is being too fair to the question tbhlol. But I agree there would have to be some sort of further discussion on what would be considered success or failure or nostr lol. Not that people would agree. You could argue that it is already a successful experiment (?) Maybe that's what you mean? I would agree ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I'm trying to be fair to your answer here too tho lol
But surely just being used isn't it enough. If it never grew beyond the people who used it right now, ever. It would probably not be a success (beyond a successful experiment).
🤔🤔
Does nostr have stated goals?
I think it's fair to assume it seems like it does have goals beyond what it is now at the very least. 🤔
It also successfully posts GIFs too, but I don't think that would qualify for 'succeed' here?
*By nostr having goals, I mean nostr in a very wide sense of the initial intentions, and goals of clients, devs, (even users)... Etc
Hope some of this made sense at least lol
succeeds for me every day
The 12 months have been nothing but successes for me on Nostr.
Eventually it will. I genuinely believe that. But I’m not sure how long it’ll take for it.
just fao: nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z & nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr
to illustrate the 'shared to community' posts on #nostrudel not showing in #amethyst but instead appearing as a bo0st, these posts don't shop up at all on amethyst within the community (they have been approved by a mod).
any help would be much appreciated :)
ohh interesting. So noStrudel makes the Repost event a community Post and not the original post. Very cool, I just was not expecting it. Ideally, you would just submit the original post part of the community.
Yeah I just noticed the feature the other day and it nice and handy, but yeah workaround is making a new post to share as normal.
noStrudel creates a kind:6 event that has an "a" tag for the community. It probably should be a kind:16 so it doesn't show up in a users timeline but I have not had a chance to update it yet
What do you mean by "the original post", do you mean just copying the contents of the original event and making a new event with the communities "a" tag?
Yeah sorry, I'm not very clear (mostly cos I have no idea what is going on or how to talk about it lol).
I just mean copy pasting the note id and make post in the community
No, I misspoke.
I thought we had a new event kind just to send existing posts for approval. But we didn't write in the NIP. Moderators can approve any post, but there is no special kind for any other user to send posts for moderation. Then the use of the Repost is perfect. I am just not sure if I show reposts in a community at all. I will fix it soon enough.
But yes, the Generic Repost will make it disappear from the main timeline.
I’m with nostr:npub1t3ggcd843pnwcu6p4tcsesd02t5jx2aelpvusypu5hk0925nhauqjjl5g4 on this one. Successful at what? Especially as you are asking people who have already chosen to spend time out here…
Yes, absolutely. It's completely uncensorable and the architecture is very open and flexible, with the possibility for it to become anything for anyone. It's truly the closest to a network of the people that we currently have in the world, in my view. And that's just mind-bogglingly beautiful.
I think it will replace Reddit and Twitter in the next few years. It's great technology.
