Nostr Web Client

"Hand of Derek" sounds like a cool name for a nostr badge. thank you.

jokes aside, i try to do my part by sharing not only content that interests me, but content from brand new nostriches or welcoming brand new nostriches. anything to help boost new npubs, because, as i keep saying, we have to be the algorithms.

you know as well as i do that algorithmic feeds, bots, and more are getting better at surfacing content and users. it's just a matter of time until it's done very well across many clients - IF you choose to use said tools. and when that happens, im still going to continue to surface content and users, because that's what i like to do.

I don't think it's personal lol, but the discovery/reach via large account reposts is a bit of a meta on nostr unfortunately, and this meta shapes the culture. And unfortunately it feels like this culture has somewhat petrified and not evolved past 'stuff big account from bitcointwitter like and endorse', and the meta of playing nostr becomes a thing unfortunately.

Discovery/recommendations definitely needs to be worked on. Your (or any other large accounts') tastes won't be for everyone. It feels a bit like a rigged system and not very open to a dynamic change.

I'm not having a go at you tho, rather this meta and how it has become just sort of accepted.

I didn't think it was personal? 🤣

But if you that it, that means it is! 🧐

Early adopters of any technology almost always benefit. I see Nostr as no different. Nostr has lots of room for growth and improvement. It's happening. While slow, it is happening. We just don't see it all that much since we're in the trenches here everyday. Just wait. Olas is gonna blow up. I'm making it my mission.
