I’m really bearish on the social feed usecase of nostr.
Discussion
Interesting. What are you bullish on?
Why is that?
THE NOSTR EQUIVALENT OF SAYING YOU SEE VALUE IN BLOCKCHAIN BUT NOT BITCOIN.
Gonna have to get the network effects that Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, LinkedIn have achieved in order to really unlock the “value” of social media.
I have good friends who are huge bitcoiners, anti-government, “sovereign” who are still off NOSTR and on Twitter because the content (network effect) is so much better on Twitter…regardless of the censorship/throttling.
They have a point…the GM culture over here is “cute” … but it isn’t valuable. The content over here is far inferior to Twitter.
I SEE THE MOST VALUE IN THE ABILITY TO OWN MY IDENTITY AND BRING MY FOLLOWERS TO DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES. ENCRYPTED CHAT, SNAPCHAT/STORIES (NON-PERMANENT POSTS), PHOTO FEED, ETC. ARE MUCH MORE INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY CAN BE LEVERAGED BY SMALLER COMMUNITIES WITH HIGHER QUALITY CONTENT. IT’S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO MAKE THE NOSTR SOCIAL FEED INTERESTING/USEFUL—AND THIS MIGHT NOT EVER HAPPEN DUE TO PSYCHOLOGICAL INCENTIVES OF PERMANENT POSTS. ALSO, I’M NOT QUITE SURE YET IF ZAPS ARE A POSITIVE OR A NEGATIVE INFLUENCE ON TYPES OF CONTENT SHARED TO THE FEED. ALL THE INTERESTING THINGS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE HAPPENING ON X FOR A WHILE.
Same here. I am very bullish on the decentralized internet use case, though.
