Damn, I didn't see you mention it on your account 👏
The big question is do I need permission to create an account and post on twitter? Can my content be censored and my account closed without my consent?
We agree 🤝
Been saying this myself for a long time! ALMOST A YEAR.
Stats are there to prove it too.
No new users = no growth = wasted time, energy, and value building.
Devs need a plan for nostr and to work together TO SOLVE ISSUES FOR THE MASS OF PEOPLE, NOT JUST THEMSELVES AND FRIENDS.
Why do we need growth? Just need to find the signal thats already here. So much gold on Nostr, but the curation takes time and energy
No need to defend anything. Just be truthful. I think that is what helps #nostr the most. It is going sideways. More work needs to be done.

When social media bans him he will understand the importance of decentralization
True
No I don't remember. Who said nostr would take over social media in several years?
Well he's a little right. So many bots! Too many GMs and PVs. A few hot posts. As a decentralized social network it should run hot top secret stuff and instead I don't see any of that. And few users! I was also disappointed a bit honestly and I've been using it very little. Mine wants to be a constructive criticism
I'm trying to bring something different to Nostr, but I see your argument.
I would like more geopolitics. More bitcoin topics, more things like wikileaks something like that. Instead, unfortunately it looks a bit like a social network for children. It remains my favorite for zaps! Zaps are fantastic but I thought I'd find things on ours that I wouldn't have found on X because if not censored. But no! Then it would be necessary to add some functions such as music (like on Instagram).
nostr does solve a problem for everyone. But people will only see it when they are affected, same as Bitcoin.
Why should we give a flying fuck what this cock knocking twat says about us?
He is on a zapless cucked social media site.
If he doesnt get it. That is not our problem.
Just blue checks bluechecking…
Blue checmark claiming amount of "trusted" pub keys not going up...
That's all I need to know about this criticism.
But truth be told very few people understand or appreciate:
1. free speech.
2. Not your server, not your data
3. Privacy and Anonymity
Dan either just wants popularity, or he may not truly understand what #nostr offers.
No different than many that don’t understand what #BTC truly offers.
WRT his #BITCOIN success I am now suspicious of his foresight and wonder if he is just a blind squirrel that luckily found an acorn.
