do they really say that about nostr?
Discussion
Sorry, I wasn’t notified about this post. I’m glad the thread got revived and I got to see it.
Yes, I did have a few conversations that went pretty much like the above, which triggered me to write this post.
Of course, by definition, “they” is always an overgeneralisation. I’d say most people on Fedi are not even aware of Nostr’s existence. Some see it as a social media platform for crypto folks. Some are aware of it and are very cool about it. For example, I posted the same stuff on Mastodon and the lead developer behind LMDB replied that he doesn’t use Nostr himself but was happy about his software being used here: 🔗 https://mastodon.social/users/hyc/statuses/114789296312141399
Overall, IMO, human behaviour distribution mostly tends towards 10% Tribal Zealots, 10% Contrarians, and 80% who are not that passionate one way or another.
