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. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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 )
