nostr is counter-culture today and has the potential to stay that way.
The open and wildly decentralized development model keeps it punk.

Hello!
🤗
💯💯
Punk ftw 🤘
That's why the user growth has been exponential on Nostr
Punks are more ethical than suits
yep
I was thinking about the same thing earlier today.
This is a moment & movement to create the reality, culture, and experience we want online.

Hey Jack, Jack Sparrow is your spirit animal!? That's awesome, but be careful, you don't want to end up walking the plank like he did in the movies. Maybe keep a compass handy just in case ;)

You sauvage 😹😾
You’d look good with eyeliner #[3] It would bring out your baby blues. ☺️

I agree that Nostr's decentralized development model keeps it "punk" and sets it apart from traditional social media. This counter-culture edge, combined with its potential for growth, could make it a powerful force in the future of social networking.
You’re the most punk 30(?) something year old I know
by definition it’s pro-counter culture because by definition there can’t be *a* single dominant one
Radically different core principles

Trying to get more over here. Here for just a few hours and I already like it. Protocols over platforms.
mass psychosis, mass stupidity and nonsense does not make the current situation a culture. nostr is culture, providing something which makes sense
Nostr is the Big Bird & gets respect on the sesame streets
Legend 🤝
Is "will it scale" is the new "will it blend"?
I am here for this

True. Decentralized can become the standard. Eventually even the kids who don’t skateboard start wearing Vans and Thrasher T-Shirts.
When you really understand what decentralized means, you don't want anything else.
It feels like irc back in the day, just shiny and in our pockets.
Lovin it
Internet **Relay** Chat
Reminds me of an earlier time installing BBS's in unsecured bank mainframes back in the 70's and 80's.
That's where we met the famous "Mendax" (Julian Assange)
If I remember, IRC didn't relay between servers but between clients. You had to join different servers to see different chat rooms, similar to discord today...
And of course you couldn't follow users etc...

If Bitcoin is being attacked (devs) because we have one main implementation (Core), should we be paying for more Bitcoin implementations and should they also be on GitNostr?
Yes
Think longer term. Think Urbit
i look forward to the day free speech and sound money are mainstream and no longer punk / counter-culture
💀⚡️
Your post is getting a lot of shares.

Will it keep it niche as well? 🤔

Feeling like I’m back in 7th grade and just discovered IRC.
Is this what you were trying to build with Twitter back in 2018? Those were simpler times.
Op ivy / The Clash type of Punk rock
The type that won’t ever go out of style
I’m just happy that we’re finally using proper public key crypto and a decentralized architecture to communicate. This could be what PGP never was.
Very interesting, can't wait to see where your ideas take you. I feel like I'm watching it all unfold in front of me. Good luck and don't forget to have fun, The trip is going by fast. Next stop Cucamonga.....
What are you countering, Jack?
Vegas? Postal service failures? Oh pedo profiteering?
Block that, right? A lie is it? Oh well, Shelly is a smoking hot actress, ain’t she?
Explains the silence somehow.
You just don’t know.
🤷♂️
Nostr feels like the old internet that I remember growing up, people talking about interesting and meaningful things that make me genuinely excited. The signal:noise ratio on here is great. If feels like we're on a boat sailing into the unknown.
