Subnostr

That’s a cool feature but it doesn’t solve the issue that 7fqx mentions since the core of people that stay are “Bitcoin friendly”

For now. But its purpose is for the crowd who are cypher/cyberpunks and support decentralization and who don’t want or care about bitcoin/crypto related topics. With those things capable of being removed it should help attract more users.

Nostr clients really should have a short setup walkthrough and ask if you like bitcoin/crypto and other topics and if not then it hides anything that has those mentioned. Otherwise, I think we’re doomed to being mostly what we are now in terms of niche user base.

Do you think there’s a big crowd like that (cypher/cyberpunks and support decentralization and who don’t want or care about bitcoin/crypto related topics)? I always thought freedom money made sense for someone like that but I have no idea tbh

Yes, I have argued ad nauseum with people on Mastodon/Lemmy who are advocates of decentralization and privacy, but ironically don’t like Bitcoin or other crypto because their soy diet makes them think the tech is boiling the oceans.

Soy diet 🤣🤣

It’s not even hyperbole. I’ve got nothing against vegans. I was one for 8yrs. But goddamn Mastodon/Lemmy is infested with the extreme versions who think you’re a Nazi if you eat a beef burger. And they all hive mind around the notion that Bitcoin was single-handedly destroying the earth. Although, now the media has told them it’s AI datacenters so it’s less complaints about Bitcoin these days. But to my surprise the so called “anarchists” over there sure love their fiat, to a system they supposedly hate 🙄

Could be fun if a few more of these idiots were here. I can’t promise I’d be nice to them though 🤭
