which social media does not include a lot of content about the platform/protocol on which the media is posted?

i'm pretty sure that half the posts on everything have references to the platform... x, fb, instagram, 4chan, bitcointalk

seriously, what is the logic behind the moaning about #nostr users talking about nostr?

these people think we should be somehow different to the rest of the human population in talking about the way that we are communicating?

this bias is completely irrational and distorted, like it's the result of brainwashing

It's a (good) side effect of the users of the platform also being the creators, innovators, and developers.

On Facebook, X formerly Twitter, or Instagram, there's a fundamental disconnect as the developers aren't primary users of the platform and most users aren't interested in the development. Faster-growing platforms like Bluesky have a bit more of a connection between users and devs, but still not like nostr.

twitter used to have a public API, it was like this at the beginning too, it's why jack loves it

but yes, it's an unusual situation because it's the first completely decentralised social media... even the devs are often arguing quite heatedly with each other about things, there is no real leadership, though there are a few who think they are but they really aren't, and they act like jerks sometimes
