According to some people, X and TikTok are much better Nostr clients than actual Nostr clients.

1) what
𤣠Too many want to exactly replicate centralized social media on nostr. Its insane. But thatâs their measure of success here.
Social media is just a starting point.
đŻ and I wonder (hope?) if trying to replicate other social platforms is Nostrâs version of web 1.0 in a figurative sense.
It took me a while to grok #nostr- for the longest time the internet was viewed as being a better newspaper, then someone started to figure out how to pass structured data on that ânewspaper layerâ and the rest is history.
The current web was great (still great) but it wasnât yet everything we needed. People have been saying that weâve been missing an âidentityâ or âtrustâ layer. I agreed kinda, but the penny dropped for me with #nostr is that we were missing a âsocioeconomic layerâ - itâs not about trust/identity but the abilities to independently attribute and transact. Trust and economics is then built on those combined abilities.
Whaha GFY đ˝đđ
I want the decentralized ultimate freedom that Nostr has with the amount of people and information that X has. No algorithms, no controls. But a much bigger crowd.
Nostr can gain traction, X cannot be decentralized. Choose wisely
I choose to go to town when I need to hear the news or party.
I come back to the farm to be decentralized and be at peace.
User growth comes down to incentives. Casual users and content consumers are incentived to go where they find content they like and/or people they know. We need to incentivize the artists, musicians, video makers, etc to want to be here. That will in turn make casual users want to be here.
