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.
