Most of the early internet tools were sufficiently decentralized. However, the problem to solve became *discovery*, and most of the commercial internet success stories solved that problem…Google Facebook Twitter Reddit etc. nostr neatly addresses the discovery problem by putting more of the power into the individual’s hands. But there will certainly be new problems to solve….

I like how the other guys are showing view counts. More confidence for advertisers IMO.

humanity to move forward, needs to keep solving problems in any domain

Wow, nostr feels so “clean”. I forgot what it felt like to use the web without keeping my defenses up. Always feel like I’m constantly tracked or being sold to.

Feels wholesome for sure

🤙🏼

I’m scared I won’t know what to buy.

i guess that depends on your client, but yes, for the most part they're all really clean... and really buggy astral the past 2 days has been mostly unusable for me crashing tabs and my entire browser. but i have faith that things will improve as time permits.

prob one of the things I’m most curious/excited to see from nostr are the tools ppl build to enable ppl to more easily solve the discovery problem themselves

This is a great answer and everyone is actively trying to build on nostr and make it better and more accessible to people. We're witnessing history and participating in it too.

What is the discovery problem? How would you describe that?

We need to improve the UX to the point where hosting the relay should be very simple and easy. We can start from running the relay on node software like umbrel and embassy os

Is there an incentive to run a relay?

Free Speech is Code. Bitcoin and Nostr will challenge all who oppose and once again become a litmus test for tyranny.

Nothing stops the decentralized train if done openly, properly, in the hands of the Pleb community.
