are you becoming a nostr fan now the more that you've been using it over the past few days? sure, i know we have technical hurdles that need resolved, but beyond that, are you a fan?

Yeah, I'd say I'm a fan now. I still have a lot of exploring to do, more things to figure out (like finding more people to follow who talk about things that I'm interested in), but all-in-all I think I can say some of my initial impressions were misguided, even if there are still some worries I have. It'll take me a while to decide how much of a fan I am. So far, being on here a few days has been more eventful than me being on Mastodon for 7 years. So we'll see where it goes. I think my next hurdle is buying a new domain, and hosting my own copy of ditto
That's great to hear! If I have one take away that I hope for skeptical people to understand is that Nostr has no formal development team, design team, or marketing team. It's devs in basements hacking away at code in their spare time for the most part. Lots of devs are starting to get funding and we have a couple companies now, but for the most part this is very grassroots. It's amazing to see all of this happening in real time. But I think you understand this now 🫂🫂🫂 Thanks for giving Nostr a second look. And yes, Ditto is awesome and needs more love and attention.
Participation is rewarding in this community.
Skepticism and feedback is also celebrated.
Glad to have you here.
Ohh ditto, that’s a new one for me.
Do you know what the VPS requirements are to run it? I will try it in AWS or OCI
I was actually trying to figure out the requirements and wasn’t able to find anything yet. Definitely don’t want to launch a server that isn’t powerful enough
