Nostr is less frustrating when you take it for what it is, and not what could/should/expected to become.

Nostr (for the most part) is a microblogging experiment which is currently a hangout for its own devs and some BT expats, and a smattering of Other Stuffs.

Twitterx is offering a 'good enough' compromise on censorship and reach for most. And for those with Elon daddy-issues, they have Bluesky. Insta is still going strong too. That seems to be the situation atm. It can't really be seen as an alternative to these things IMO.

I think onboarding people should bear this in mind or something.

But it is an interesting experiment and it has a unique factor of being a protocol which can be built on.

That is my take and I'm not even sticking to it 😤

Xitter is not good enough once you see it as a closed source, data harvesting, ad force-feeding, surveillance and outrage generation machine. #DeleteXitter

'good enough' here I really meant in terms of the trade off that content creators / larger accounts see. They are often aware of these issues you mention, but the trade off is with audience reach, both existing and attempting to grow. And twitterx is currently offering an 'okay' amount of censorship.

Which may all change obviously. Just talking about rn
