So what does post-Nostr look like?

Post-nostr as in...? ...it's failed or it's succeeded?
At some point, this place will lose steam whether it failed or it succeeded and then failed for whatever reason, it's people that caused it. I'm curious of what comes after.
How long have you been using nostr?
Hmm not sure I understand lol, sorry. If it succeeded then it wouldn't be as it is now, it would be very busy (and busy with lots of subcultures and topics) across different apps, be it microblogging, longform and all sorts. π€ No? That's if it is successful which is totally unknown and many years down the line.
Maybe I'm confused about what you mean by 'this place'. This place we are in right now, as in microblogging apps?
Maybe I'm being thick lol. Sorry.
Haha no worries, there is honestly no right or wrong answer or if there's even an answer. All imagination and hypothetical. Just what you imagine it will be like.. personally.
I guess this place would be the social aspect of the protocol. It cannot exist without its people.
I have always thought of nostr-as-is or where we are chatting now is just a sort of chatroom for development of the protocol. (It is also a chatroom dominated by bitcointwitter expats,) and it obviously can't and won't survive as is. But also this isn't even the final form, as they say.

Too much boring bitcoin stuff.
Agreed. I think real meatspace life ought to be massively more exciting and fulfilling than anything. That's post-Nostr life.
I suspect social media is slowly losing steam in general. Post-social media could look like private groups, the sort of groups that facilitate offline activity. Which is sort of a return to how some things like this functioned before the Public Square social media (or however you want to call it).
You mean like during the time of BBS era of the internet. Smaller special interest groups. More exclusive and homogenous.
Yeah, I think we are already seeing this with private messaging groups, matrix, discord etc. Could be based on interest or local community, friendship groups. I think a message board revival would be amazing too. These places don't even really need to be private, the barrier of entry is having an interest in the topic and staying on-topic.

Yeah. This is how nostr could totally fail and become insignificant, unfortunately.
Luckily there are a handful of devs tackling this problem with topic-specific relays and Other Stuff. Unknown if it'll succeed tho.
But a bitcointwitter clone is only going to stagnate.
I've only been here for three or four months, so perhaps my opinion won't mean much, but nostr could definitely fail if so much damn focus is on the social media clients.
Luckily there are people working on Other Stuff.
#projectalexandria is something to keep an eye on. (I barely understand it tbh )
