Nostr Web Client

A genuine question.

Now, Threads is taking the stage and we see people don't really care about how their data is taken and used as long as they get something back (be it in the form of entertainment, an intellectual space or just a platform to vent). But privacy and decentralisation is really important and necessary as we know that.

We saw Mastodon not making any huge impact even thought it tried to solve the problems twitter was creating but Threads just won it all.

When are we expecting Nostr to go live as a finished product? When should we expect people to sign up for Nostr?

What's the main selling point of Nostr?

I'll be honest with my fellow #Nostrichs , I joined threads yesterday and was immediately hooked and then I was like "will nostr ever make such big impact?"

I saw Mastodon failing, I feel like Nostr and Bluesky will fail as well and the reason being that these platforms are not normie friendly.

We want a social media app which will have a huge impact, not a bubble with niche audience.

I’m a fan of both Nostr and Bluesky. Two great projects, with more or less the same goals of decentralising social media using open protocols, but with different approaches.

Personally I think that one of Bluesky’s strengths over is that it is very easy to use, whilst allowing accounts to be portable. That said it has not yet federated so we shall see how that goes. The problem with Mastodon is that account portability is not easy - it just create lots of smaller walled gardens rather one big one.

As for Threads, it is really no better than Twitter right now, just different. Just because a lot of people signed up to check it out does not mean they will stick with it long term. As long as it relies on the advertising model it will rapidly and inevitably enshittify itself.

I think both Bluesky and Nostr will continue to grow, whatever happens with Theeads.
