A chat interface is more human than a twitter feed for reasons I am not skilled enough to understand.

We've rebuilt IRC on Nostr. Now we need forums. Bring humanity back to Internet communications 😙👌
I don't know why there aren't any nostr devs interested in the forum format. It's actually bizarre. This is the optimal ui.
Bitforums
Geoforums
BitchFarms
Unthreaded conversations are peak UI.
Nostr 1 made 4000 twitter clone clients
Nostr 2 is currently making 5000 chatroom clients
There's no (working) forum clients lol 🥲

What’s so good in Nostr for a forum? Why don’t you want to use regular DB forums?
Get forums in nostr, get topics, potentially make a culture shift here and new users.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It could make the place interesting
I understand that you want forums on what you’re already using yourself. What I don’t understand is what killer feature you’d want to see there. Just forums? And then you’ll ask for email over Nostr and an IRC client? Oh, wait... 🤭
We're working on something.
I imagine because there are no pictures/themes/premium icon or what so ever you can display. Additionally nobody can check your post his what so ever. U will purely be judged based on what u say, this is why I imagine it's alot more human.. but again this is way above my IQ
It mimics the natural exchange of thoughts in a conversation between two or more partners. Time is linear, people speak in turn, the thread of the conversation bends and winds, but doesn't branch into several sub-conversations.
It's this way in traditional forums as well. It's easier to follow.
Chat is more immediate and real-time?
One thing I’ve noticed is that ‘Twitter’ Nostr clients generally don’t seem to update thread replies, reactions etc in real-time, despite websockets being first class.
It's simple. A chat room is just people talking. The UX tries to replicate the UX of sitting in a circle around a campfire. A Twitter feed is an unholy abomination of psychological malware trying to be nothing like any natural historic moment.
