Yep, I see you, #[5], and occasionally #[6]'s Nostr pubkey but usually it's her fedi profile through the bridge. That's pretty much it. I guess there's an occasional post by #[7] too. The rest might as well be ChatGPT bots programmed to spew pro-Bitcoin propaganda to each other all day.

I am beginning to conclude that Nostr is not going in a direction that suits my interests, though it sure did come close for a little while.

Same. I still prefer it to the fedi because the cult of admin worship that the fedi creates but not enough ppl use or develop nostr for it to be worth it.

Alex Gleason says he’s going to make it better and I want to believe him, but right now it’s so gay and I don’t see any incentives to make it anything more than a Bitcoin circlejerk.

I decided I’m just sticking with Fedi until there’s some evidence it has the potential to be better.

For me the Nostr protocol *was* the evidence, but it turns out this thing is being run by soydevs who can't say no to retarded new features instead of letting a good thing live bloat-free.

My concern is the removal of basic stuff such as likes. I don't mind additional features as long as they aren't forced down our throats.

Interesting thread here.

I feel like there's a ton being worked on here. It truly is a space for everyone. Not having any sort of algorithm is actually pretty tough.

Monero will be intertwined into nostr soon, considering cake wallet is working on a wallet connection and a nostr client called Topaz.

Not sure how I stumbled on all y'alls feed here, but I found it, and this is exactly why I like nostr.

Were you aware there are a few xmr relays as well???

It's also just very inefficient by design and the clients don't really optimize shit either.

The great thing is, if it does get better you can always come back. You don't have to delete and even if you do, it's easy to create a new account.

I should use nostr more but I worry about my battery, it’s always an issue even without using it.

Nostr is still so new though so I don’t think that sort of criticism is really valid.

But yeah, the bitcoin stuff is such cancer, that’s the number one problem with nostr.
