I just think the whole thing is bleak, negativity or otherwise. I think nostr is objectively better, but itβs literally only bitcoin ppl.
Discussion
Yes, exactly. Hollow.
Blockchain is dead.
True, like fedi, itβs the same thing every day.
Yeah. All we can do is change our perspective and control or influence what we can. Also, ask yourself why you want to be apart of X app or group.
Purpose is a powerful force.
I think nostrs biggest mistake was focusing on bitcoin bs instead of making it work properly. Maybe thereβs still time tho.
Big part why it was created was the mindset of Bitcoin developers. It's a passion project that is not making them much money. Besides donations and grants.
Most social media apps want a way to extract money from users - either by selling their data (most) or by charging a fee (few).
The Apple approach, build something that just works, would be ideal, but they're in it for money, reputation, status, and stock holders.
What would you like to see fixed or more of?
I should try other clients to see if they work better, but nostr is undoubtedly full of bitcoin ppl, like 99% of the community here.
I use Damus and itβs totally broken, even seeing threads.
Bitcoiners talk about other things too. Follow #grownostr to see other topics. Hopefully you can contribute π€
