Thoughts after using Bluesky, nostr, and twitter:

twitter - post minimally, more informational

nostr - bitcoin dreamers, can post more reflectivity there and connected with people I trust

Bluesky - can be more widely/openly progressive there without attacks

They each have something different to offer and different drawbacks. Twitter brings out the most hate/division by far. Functionality and features, nostr has a strong concept and knows where it’s heading…will anyone care is the question (I do!).

Most people on Bluesky block or collectively attack anyone who talks about bitcoin. They are the least receptive audience I’ve found.

Funny you left out poor Mastodon. I got absolutely nothing from that one.

Yeah well I’m sure I’ll see that with bluesky in time 😅

Also totally forgot about mastodon, have never used it or considered using it.

I still think nostr has something special, but not sure when/if/how long it will break out of 90% bitcoin chat room. And the nostr apologists who don’t talk as much about bitcoin came to nostr via bitcoin in the first place

I try hard to inject non-bitcoin content into Nostrland. But it feels like a lonely endeavor sometimes!

Keep trying!

this took me a second, but for sure…you have a big audience here, but few peers. keep posting for the plebs, mike!

* noting

Thanks for this review, haven’t tried BlueSky yet.

People need to care less about what other people think. That is how we got to where we are. Most of #Bitcoin social spaces are conservative. So as someone who is center left, I was frequently lambasted on Twitter. Here on #Nostr, just really don't see much of it.

Maybe it is the fact that you cannot delete the posts, so being a dick lives on forever

I just want the best for everyone. I love seeing respectful disagreement.
