Devs won't listen. So Nostr is only backup worthy until they do.

A social network only needs 2 functions:

-An Algo. (For Post distribution + Feed curation)

-Notifications.

Nostr has neither.

It doesn't need all this useless bullshit that Nostr devs seem distracted building. All while the 2 most critical functions remain unbuilt. So back to LI until devs wake up. Or get wiped out.

Devs always do useless shit but nostr seems fine

We are the algo. Anything else is just central planning.

Ya theres pretty much algo and notifications lol dont know what hes talking about

And this attitude is why Nostr is still under 20k DAU's after 2yr+.

Until it perishes, Nostr will remain smaller than a Reddit Sub. The nuts and bolts exist here to be mainstream though.

Who the hell wants nostr to turn into reddit

Imagine choosing LinkedIn over the everything app of freedom.

LinkedIn gives me the ick.

There are two types of people who use LinkedIn:

1. Self-important people desperately seeking attention by bragging about their accomplishments

2. Unemployed people desperately seeking work and trying to appear optimistic and happy

Either way, it smells like the carpet at a hotel conference room during an Amway pitch.

There is a 3rd! Workoholics who have drank the corporate Kool aid and idolize the First kind of person.

I hear men are using it to hit on women too

Well this I can kinda get behind. I'm all about finding love on the internet ๐Ÿ˜…

LinkedIn ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Laugh all you want. LinkedIn gets distribution.

Without distribution (an algo), you might as well be shadow-banned. Because the effect is the same.

Bots

False. All real.

Hey if you enjoy it, definitely use it! Looks like you're crushing it on there ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

I want Nostr to succeed. I'm not slamming it to shit on it. I'm pointing out critical issues preventing its mainstream adaptation. To fix them. So it can adopt quicker!

Nostr has the nuts and bolts to do so. And still may eventually.

I'd much rather move to Nostr now, rather than risk bans on LI.

But I'm also not going to post into the void while the growing pains are worked out. Especially when devs show no intention of fixing them.

Definitely no algo. Please. That's what I came here to avoid.

Iโ€™m here to pioneer, not grind away endlessly in the legacy system. I post on LinkedIn occasionally because itโ€™s part of my job, but it sucks balls as a social network. Everyone on there is so artificial and boring.

100% dull

Damn thats irrefutable proof thats no bots definitely

We literally expose bot users on LI. ๐Ÿคฆ

Look man, you sound committed to your plan. Do what works for you. I just could not be there, it feels like the online equivalent of soul-deadening fluorescent lights you canโ€™t switch off.

Iโ€™m odd, i donโ€™t want distribution

Maybe MySpace is better in this regard? Pretty sure Tom's still about somewhere.

Oh snap. Tom would be a great get for the #grownostr movement!

#badtake

Truth hurts.

what an entitled piece of shit

nostr has both of these...

What client has push notifications?

Not in-app notifications. PUSH notifications.

Amethyst with ntfy

Damus has them.

kind of. only for DMs with existing convos afaik. and when it works.

And for zaps

If nostr offered notifications and an algorithm I would turn them both off. If I couldn't find a nostr app where I could turn them off I would quit.

Imagine wanting to give away control over your own mind line that. Long ago we didn't see the threat. There is no excuse for not seeing the risk any more.
