Normie's like yo unload responsibility and liability on to others. Especially with recent actions from governments. That's why Meta and CashApp are so in demand. They offer consumer protection. That's why when the big social media players switch to Nostr they will probably dominate
Discussion
Damus is one of the most used nostr clients 🤷🏾♂️
There is definitely a market for a protocol where the user is responsible for his data. That’s the value proposition of nostr
Normie's I Know brag about hownlittle they care what data Google has. They claim its well worth it. Little do they know their data generates over $100,000 in revenue for google a year
Why would google ever move to nostr? That doesn’t make any sense. They would lose their cash cow: the user data
I was just using that as an example about of how little normies care about their data. In their mind its worth it
Maybe nostr is not for everyone. And that’s okay too
Nostr will be for everyone. Everyone will be on Nostr. It will be the standard protocol. Universal and interchangeable. 100% customizable. A unique experience for everyone
But it won’t be under google or meta’s control. That’s for sure
Only their relays. That is all that matters to them
Why would anyone use a google relay? That doesn’t even make sense. A company like that is all about centralization
How long will that be the case when Meta and X make the switch?
I like Damus and a bunch of other platforms. It remindsmwe of the early days of MySpace and Facebook. I was one of the first few million Facebook users. Way before any of my normie friends. It was just like this. Possibilities were endless and everyone had amazojg outlooksofn the future. Then the normies came in with their demands.
I mean how are relay hosts dealing with children data protection? I bet most haven't even bothered investing much in to it since most of us are most likely over 25. But Meta and X already have all the protections in place for children
I don’t think meta or X will switch to the nostr protocol. These companies want to have total control over user data. That’s impossible on nostr. The user has the control.
And I don’t think nostr is for children
Are you for real? They control their relays. They control what happens on their relays. They never give up control for a second. No relay provider does. Any of them can shadow ban you at any time. Just because you can. post somewhere else doesn't effect them
You can be shadowbanned? Nah You can run your own relay. Move to other relays. The portability is key here.
That's my whole point. They can shadow ban you on their own relays. That is all that matters to them
I disagree. You can say whatever you want about politicians, covid, masks, etc… On legacy social media you get banned for saying the C word (covid). Not here. Not sure what you’re referring to
I can easily host a relay that I can ban you from.....
That’s great. I’ll keep using the ones I’m on now 😂
And how do they protect a childs data? If they can't they can expect a strongly worded letter in the mail from a 3 letter agency
Take a look at global. This is not for children
What is stopping them from using it? If you don't think this is for children and nothing is stopping them from using your relay you can expect a strongly worded letter from a three letter agency
