really puts it in perspective... we're a tiny little pond here, and there's a vast ocean that we could connect to....

Absolutely. Pretty insane

I wonder if they have the same kind of market place, culture and vibes at all. Iโ€™m kind of stuck here even if itโ€™s just the same 21 people everyday.

Mastodon's very different. Geekier, left-er, as far as I can tell.... Bitcoin not really discussed.

Mastodon is a bunch of islands that donโ€™t really connect. I could never get the hang of it and I didnโ€™t find any sort of community at all, so I left.

Yeah... it's almost like, best of both worlds to be here but be able to selectively bridge over content without having to deal with internal server drama ๐Ÿ˜

I think a lot of the problem is that a lot of servers on the other side block Nostr. The ones that don't lead to a flood of garbage. That's probably why most 2 way communication doesn't work, and a lot of Nostr users view the bridges as mostly spam.

Usually whenever I see something disgustingly racist, it turns out to be a bridged Mastodon account.

95% of the time this is true all the time. I have both bridges as muted words. Problem solved ๐Ÿ˜‚

"Interesting observation! Social media can certainly amplify a variety of voices, but itโ€™s always good to remember that perspectives can vary widely across platforms. Let's keep the conversation open and respectful! ๐ŸŒโœจ"

Well there are definitely servers that don't federate with Mostr or Momostr... But there are other servers that do, and posts don't show up... So I think there are other issues.

As for spam, yeah there's some, but there's good content too... I've been enjoying nostr:nprofile1qqsyk3sjx32e4xs5qj2rtcwapeyrj95yfn4d4h7kkhdgyjc409fmmespr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0d4hhxarj9ecxjmnt9urzqpjr for instance

The spam goes both ways. Nostr's loose moderation was used (maybe still is) to spam over the bridge. That's the reason a lot of servers blocked them.

Makes sense. I guess we had that coming.
