Using Nostr for a few says made me realize I don’t want a censorship resistant alternative social media.

Social media sucks.

The best thing to happen to me was being kicked out of Twitter. My life got a lot better.

I want a censorship resistant alternative to find information and connect to people — and that is completely different from social media.

Twitter was kinda good when it was just microblogging without all the “social” crap.

Maybe I’ll make a Nostr client that only shows posts. No likes. No “boosts”. No followers. Maybe bios. And doesn’t let you interact with other peoples notes either. Then we can work from there.

I’d also enjoy a client like that, focused purely on the original post’s content without the conversation around it. I still think there’s a time and a place for knowing what others comment on a piece but there’s an advantage that gets lost when we go into a post/article already knowing if it’s generating a lot of discussion. If you create a noise free client that you’re willing to share, I’d happily try it out.

Huh, not sure I fully get how this works. Is the post shown on the feed from a note’s subject line? Keeping an eye on this, thanks!
