the addictive interfaces from legacy social media being reused is probably why. i wish we had more to choose from.
Same, love Nostr & Damus
“X is busy battling censorship”
No it isn’t, you nit. It IS the censorship.

Wow I’m totally going to go back to X now and fight for free speech. Totally I will.
who are they fighting? X? or using X to fight for free speech around the world? sounds like a lot of pointless fighting when you could get it out of the box for free.
If I had a Twitter, I'd call him a numpy, but then I'd probably get kicked off the platform.
Justin loves X too much to leave.
For many, the responsibility of freedom sucks 😂
Nostr does suck, it should give us pause that something so terrible is so much better than all that went before it.
I'll take sucks over fundamentally broken any day.
depends on what vertical you're talking about. in terms of performance, #notedeck is 1000x faster than the twitter web app. its really hard using twitter now, feels sluggish and bad.
on top of this, I get private local search, private grok. the only thing X has going for it at this point is the diversity of people. our clients are already better.
I think we are agreeing. When I say Nostr sucks it is part real and part tongue in cheek. It is deceptively simple, but that is because it borrows complexity from preexisting formats and protocols, the naive version of nostr could never work, clients and relays have to get kinda complex to properly filter the data.
That being said, it is actually the right idea, and I am particularly excited about NoteDeck. It is the right idea done the right way in my humble opinion. I think there will be some natural evolution to it. Web-of-trust, built-in relay for contacts only, index file exchanges so clients can choose what to request. (For apps with larger data files) Etc.
No, he's right. It sorta sucks. Everything very beta. But it definitely sucks the least and the steady progress out of sucking is tangible, whereas absolutely everything else just sucks more and more. Unbelievable how utterly everything else sucks.
It's been low-key amazing working on it. Totally addicting. 😂
Using it for large documents has been next-level. Feels like magic and we don't even have nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn juiced-up stuff, yet.
Just fucking amazing shit. Whole protocol is total dev crack.
I also use nostr much more than anything else I ever used before and never run out of things to see! I think the problem is most people are retarded and can't figure out how to find stuff.... Because, well, they are retarded. Maybe Dave will help eliminate the retard wall.
it has definitely helped me. sometimes I don't even scroll my feed. I just get dave to scroll for me and find interesting content.
That's pretty awesome! It would be nice if it could constantly watch your feed and do notifications for things it determines you would want to know about.
Calling people retarded because they don't feel like wasting time on nostr's worthless content discovery features?
That's pretty retarded of you
It doesn’t incentivize spam and that’s what most of social media is.
If someone thinks Nostr sucks, it probably says more about their ability to make friends in real life than it does about the platform.
sometimes I say things to raw 😁 for centralised social media . good thing I have nostr . else I think good about 𝕏 and nostr . each of it has unique strength .
Soy muy adicto tambien
Who said that ? My trolling fingers are twiddling :-)
It's because there is engagement here on Nostr and it's real engagement.
X is full of fake engagement and small profiles don't get any engagement. It's a rigged and fake system.
The majority of real people don't even use social media due to the bots and scammers. It's going to take some time but they will eventually come to Nostr.
Addictive and compelling
Well I am still using Nostr even though it sucks 😆 though I seem to being pulled into the contemplative cave if it's time to break up. And if the vertict is nah, then I'd have to double down my commitment and start building in public and the open!
Some people just don't like freedom I guess
