I do feel like it's overhyped but it is pretty cool. Tried it out today. It's gonna be genuinely good for a lot of things and it expands the utility of nostr too. Great for communication where there is no internet for example.

But there’s hardly anyone to chat with
Exactly
Yeahhh I don’t see the point of it
You need people to have fun on it, generally. Get some friends who wanna do it together so you can bitchat each other.
Isn’t that what we do on Nostr?
Yes. Bitchat is just a realtime chat version of nostr that also works over Bluetooth mesh networks. So it does less but also more.
What's nice is you can bitch at each other over Bluetooth with no relay setup needed, and the messages also disappear.
Then nostr has all the great features we love. And bitchat can be used to send people nostr note links too.
that whole bluetooth thing is hilarious. obviously useless compared to whispering to someone because at bluetooth distances you can hear them whisper.
but if it was where nodes were connecting and sharing their recent events with each other, it would be something like a kinda-sneakernet mesh, with all that fun latency. bitchsync.
Yeah it’s a hard pass for me
I think that's sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing. Like walkie talkies or HAM radio.
