Nostr Web Client

All client devs should try to use nostr with a smaller account to understand how stupid nostr is at discovery.

Excuse my ignorance

1. Using nostr with a smaller account - what does this mean.

2. nostr stupid at discovery ? - clarify.

I'm not a developer.

I'm getting the message that nostr is not meeting expectations.

Perhaps we need to list specifics to create a nostr expectations index .

For me - Nostr currently meets my needs

Primal is teaching me how to take control of my privacy.

Learning about new apps for private communications.

Reading through the implications of legislation designed to channel BTC into government coffers.

AI updates.

Currently studying the DARPA Theory of Mind Warfare - from Doug Casey's International Man.

I don't expect followers, zaps or other social media comparisons .

Just important information to help me create a parallel system in a dystopian world.

Learning payment systems through Nostr is next on my list.

Each of us have different realities and use Nostr to address our own needs. I am sincerely grateful for the protocol .

Sarcasm doesn't wash. I note you didn't answer the questions to your statement .

Nostr falls short in terms of discovery, right now discovery depends on other big follower profiles sharing your content, If they don't agree with it, it's as good as dead. Or you could get zapped largely by holders or however primal tries to solve discovery.

While this may work for you, and if it does there's really nothing that needs to be done, it was not sarcasm.

But this definitely doesn't work for a lot of people, especially when solutions are possible.

Hashtags are a joke here, they are literally the easiest curation mechanism but no one is looking at how it can be made better.

I've done a lot of work on pollerama.fun to be able to solve this, it even has hashtag curation and moderator selection, and it's good and it works for me, it's just hard to get the word out, especially with the existing discovery being a joke 😂

True and that implies that people outside of the bitcoin space are shouting into the void...

Thank you for the comprensive breakdown

Sorry, I've got a trigger happy mouse.

Correct me please.

Nostr is not attracting more members?

Compared to other social media platforms, I consider Nostr in the embryonic stage.

My assumption is that Nostr, much like BTC's birth, started very small and then went through the 5 stages of grief.

BTC faced disbelief, mockery, attacks, negotiation and finally acceptance

We are really early. A perfect time to learn, adopt, test the apps that are being developed. Watching the internet kyc launch, and the payment methods being squashed by the predators. Gatekeeping, chokepoints, laws made to outlaw Nostr will happen .

Once the sheep realise freedom of speech and control of money trading is getting choked off - they will find Nostr.

They need to go through the pain first.

1. losing their assets.

2. censorship

3. communication networks under strict control.

And Nostr will be ready and waiting.

Please forgive my assumption of sarcasm.

And thank you for explaining, so I could understand.

Poison food tastes good doesn't mean healthy food has to taste bad.

People leaving trad social media should be able to have a good experience in the new world.

Noisy signal 4mo ago

Amen.

Trading convenience for freedom is a worthy cause.

It's very difficult to find accounts worth following when you first make an account.

I hear you. It depends on what you're looking for and level of understanding . Bitcoin brought me to Nostr. Nostr showed me the privacy based apps currently in development mode.

I love Nostr's vibrancy. From Jack Dorsey, Lyn Alden, Alex Gladstein, Jeff Booth and many more who are focused on the sustainability of BTC.

Look into yourself and identify what YOU want to do.

I came here to learn stuff. And so many things I didn't know or understand - Nostr is helping me.
