Nostr Web Client

Can you expand on this?

Tribalism, binary thinking, hostile dialog, ad hominem, thought silo’ing…

Things like that. One of the things Nostr can’t (and shouldn’t try) to fix, is the breakdown of civil discourse and the poor education in debate and oratory.

I’m seeing a lot of the same old wars and fights starting to appear. Yeah, you can mute, etc. but I think people are overall exhausted (as a whole, not specific people I’m referring to) which is why we’ve seen social media usage continuing to decline.

The issue is social, and wherever they move, they bring those issues with them.

This does not detract from the qualities or value of Nostr philosophically imo. I’m just saying I’m beginning to sense the same exhausting and isolating vibe creeping in. That’s why I value people like you so much.

This is where the "other stuff" kicks in. I dont think people will join nostr for its own sake. More likely they'll sign up for some service and then hey look, its compatible with all these other services. Twitter clients make a good town square for those specifically interested in nostr and surrounding topics. Otherwise, its about the interoperability and what lies on top rather than the protocol itself

We have zap.stream and people join that occasionally. Streams will show in snort too. Lots of interoperability coming I think

Zap.Stream is no lie, one of the best designed and implemented non-Twitter-clone projects out there.

Is usefulness, potential, and market is immediately obvious, and it makes me more bullish on Nostr than a lot of other things do. Streaming is something everyone else simply does wrong, and I can honestly say “ Nostr fixes this” in that case.

Seeing the same old fights arise is off putting for sure…

Only thing I can control, though, is how I react to these issues. Been really trying to not repeat old patterns. But that’s just me.

The world changes one person at a time. But it can feel lonely.

I’m only expressing the issue. I agree with you. ❤️

Small online communities based around shared interests are far superior in terms of value to the user, I believe. Mutual respect is pretty tough to achieve when millions of people are shouting at each other.
