I feel the same.
What can be done with this:
Subscribe to interesting people for you, block bitcoiners. Just subscribed to you. One example - @freeofbtc #freeofbtc
Backup your Nostr private keys.
Use meaningful tags.
Use https://zappedit.com/feed - you can block posts by tags there. But it is site, not app.
Select relays without bitcoin bullshit.
Run your own relay with your own rules and people.
Thanks for your suggestion of zappedit 🙏
As the dev of zappedit, I am happy to discover your post, specifically talking about muting the #bitcoin hashtag :)
In fact, nostr:npub10awzknjg5r5lajnr53438ndcyjylgqsrnrtq5grs495v42qc6awsj45ys7 requested this feature.
Is there anything else our devs can do to make #nostr interesting for newbies and non-bitcoiners?
PS: Few days ago, I changed the name to zapddit (similar to reddit) based on the feedback from users. Now, it is https://zapddit.com (old site redirects to the new site now)
PPS: You can also install zapddit in your mobile as it is a PWA (Progressive Web App). Open zapddit on your browser and look for Install App in the browser's menu. This will install it as an app on your mobile phone.
If you practice less aggressive approach while requesting stuff you might encounter greater will from the community to listen to you and implement your ideas.
It’s a bit odd for me that you managed to notice the most discussed topic here is Bitcoin and couldn’t figure that the reason behind this is that most Nostr devs and active users are bitcoiners.
Calling bitcoin bullshit and asking help in implementing your ideas from people who have spent months and years studying economics, computer science and a ton of other related disciplines to come to the conclusion that Bitcoin is the ultimate tool for building a better society and are now in fact trying to build a better society with a communications protocol inseparable from censorship-resistant money, is not the best approach, to say the least.
You are free to communicate your thoughts any way you want here, but I advise you consider changing your attitude or prepare to be ignored.
