thank you Daniele. I'm going to reply to and follow you from my main account: ringo@nostr-check.com (where this will come from, although I began composing this in iris.)
as far as the long form content, I think that writefreely *almost* nails it.
I run a blog server that could support thousands of users, but nobody ever asks me to start a blog.
I *Love* writing, though. and have been in the practice of keeping online blogs for the last 22 years, and on paper more or less forever.

I think what's happening is multifold, but people have largely lost the ability to communicate outside of an image... which is rather sad because if you think about it, the image isn't actually communicating what that person is thinking, and MAAAYBE if we're lucky only a fraction of what they are feeling.
That said, I'm not really certain how much thinking is actually going on in most peoples heads, but out of my nature and politeness both, I hesitate with trepidation to call them stupid, or ignorant. What I really do wonder though, is how effective THEY feel that a gif or an image is, insofar as communicating their feelings, emotions and thoughts. I've thus far, never gotten to the bottom of this one.

When you say "long form content," what kind of things are you seeing or would like to see here?
How would a website "run nostr?" I could hash out my conceptualization of that, but I'd rather hear what someone else thinks, so asking in earnest curiosity. Pros, Cons, overall architecture, or whatever you feel coming to mind that's both salient and universally relevant.
