If you left nostr a couple years ago and thought... 'Hmm I'll pop back in in 2 years and see if they've stopped talking about the price of bitcoin, maybe they'll have more topics.' You'd probably find it's p much the same. Will it be the same in 2 more years? Can it survive that? Is this quite negative lol, maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Before anyone replies... No, following more people, and telling people 'there is no algorithm here' doesn't help.
I think nostr is about finding friends and then having a place to communicate with a select group of people
I see it much more as a comms tool than a media or content platform
Yeah nostr how most people encounter it is a chatroom for building nostr (and posting about the price of bitcoin). You still can't really onboard people to this unless they want to be involved in building or posting about the price of bitcoin lol.
people go to nostr to talk about nostr i think thats nostrs greatest feature
This makes the most sense nostr is at nest a chatroom about building nostr. (Fine, fair enough, potentially interesting ). But it is also a chatroom about the price of bitcoin lol (booooring).
lol i was being sarcastic about the greatest feature -yes its boring and the same with the magic 'b' word too. i havent seen any new drama since i dont know when
For me, nostr’s best feature is that it connects me with good people who are willing to think and work hard to make things better for themselves and others.
I want much more than a decentralised Twitter clone.
Let not a lack of dopamine be the enemy of the good.
You could say that about eg my work group chat on WhatsApp which I have on mute. There's no algorithm, there's no dopamine hit ¯\_(ツ)_/ ;) lol
To a certain extent nostr needs to face its problems (no. 1 being the bitcoin chatroom dilemma). And I think another one of them is a growing general disinterest in social media.
I look forward to a nostr forum client or other cool forms it can take tho:)
