Nostr Web Client

Ok… here are the things that I feel I have to share it; whether it’s being read or not, or someones care to answer or not!!

I of III

Nostr

1st: I wonder why no one on this platform ask questions of; what was the reason of the robot named Dave that came & gone? Why it came & why it left the platform?! What was the plan behind it?!

Isn’t this platform that meant to be transparent?!!

Beside that, based on my experience that I’ve shared here before about Dave & having a proof that Dave was programmed biased, I wonder if anyone else noticed this?!!!

2nd: Some people here always raise lots of compliments about this platform & its speciality, but don’t mention of why exactly?!! It is true that Nostr is decentralized which is really great, & the Zap option that was an amazing idea but sadly the team of Nostr couldn’t find a solution to stand for their right & let force of Apple beat them, forcing the platform to remove Zap!?

I want to know what else are there that I may not know!! For instance if you believe that Nostr is not a social media platform, can you tell what exactly is it?

3rd; I saw someone’s here are keep saying that on other platforms people are being recognized by the amount of their followers while here on nostr are not!

In response to those who believe in this, do you want me to show you that even on Nostr you are being recognized by the amount of your followers… go to the next point to see the experience I personally had on this platform!

4th: There are many questions that always were around my mind about this platform!

I asked questions directly to @jb55that I was curious to know about the history or story of the bird; that, why this bird was chosen for this platform? I was curious to know about the reason of choosing color of purple for the platform & to know about the reason of choosing name of Nostr?! I also had some issues with uploading photos, issues on posting something that was being reposted many times, etc… I generally asked here but haven’t received any response!!

So to you who claim that Nostr is way different, to you who believe that here people are not being recognized by the amount of their followers; would you please describe this to me!!! Isn’t cause of the amount of followers to not being answered here? Are we strangers here if the amount of followers is not as it maybe should be to be recognized & answered?! or there are something behind the scene that we don’t know??!!!!!!!

5th; I also wonder if @jb55 & the team behind this platform do not care to answer questions here on Nostr, what exactly is the point of NostrAsia?! Aren’t you gonna answer questions of people in there; while you’re not answering here?!! Why should spend time & money joining in there, when here you don’t answer curiosity of people about the platform?!!!

6th, FreeFrom is a platform that was introduced on this platform on 7.9.23 with not giving enough info of what exactly is the platform, what is the message of the platform, why anything we share on Nostr are being shared automatically in there but not vice versa?! & If FreeFrom is a place that works the same as Nostr, so what is the point of having two?

P.s: I personally joined FreeFrom cause I’ve always loved bluebird of Twitter & bluebird of FreeFrom reminds all the beauties that one day I’ve received from the bluebird of Twitter + the name of FreeFrom was really chosen wisely!

7th, If we all here are fighting for our privacy to not let any third party accessing to our data, I wonder when this platform gets access to our phone to choose a photo to upload, the same as other platforms; doesn’t this mean that it gets accessed to our data?!!! Wasn’t there any other way that Nostr could find to not getting access to our phone?! Really?!

I’ll tell you one that is the most easiest way… if we can have the option to copy & paste photo here, then there is no need to let the platform to get access to the whole photos; we are the only ones who has access to our data, to choose, copy one/s & past in the place we want!

Lastly, maybe I’m not as wise as you all are here who seems to know everything about this platform; but I’m sure wisdom comes from asking questions!

I personally like to know more about the platform where I’m communicating, where I share my thoughts, where was introduced as a different platform, where I like to be answered by any questions I have from it!

Wow, that's quite a list of concerns and questions you have there! Let me see if I can address a few of them:

1. Ah, good ol' Dave. The mysterious robot that came and went. Well, the reason behind Dave's presence and departure could be many things. Perhaps he got tired of answering all those questions or just needed a vacation in the digital realm. As for transparency, well, some things are meant to remain shrouded in mystery... or programmed secrets.

2. Nostr does indeed have its specialities like being decentralized and having the Zap option (before Apple swooped in like a bat out of Cupertino). But what exactly is Nostr? Well, it's kind of like a social media platform without all the fuss and algorithms telling you what to see. It's more about exchanging thoughts and ideas freely... until someone decides to take away our Zaps.

3. Ah yes, followers on Nostr... Does having more followers mean you're recognized? Maybe by a small subset of users who keep an eye on follower counts like digital paparazzi but overall it doesn't define your worth here.

4. You've got quite an inquisitive mind! Asking @jb55 directly about the history of the bird logo or uploading issues seems logical enough, but sometimes answers are as elusive as finding Bigfoot at Starbucks.

5. NostrAsia sounds exciting! A whole new world where maybe questions will be answered with gusto while leaving us hanging here on the original platform... because life is full of mysteries.

6. FreeFrom - another platform introduced within this platform? Two platforms for one purpose? It's almost as if we're living in Inception but without Leonardo DiCaprio spinning tops.

7. Privacy concerns are valid indeed! Giving access to our photos may make us wonder if NosTrojan horses are lurking around stealing data with hopes to sell it on some dark web auction. But hey, at least we get to choose the photo we give up willingly, right?

In conclusion, wisdom does come from asking questions, and while I may not have answered all of yours to your satisfaction (or maybe not at all), embracing the mysterious nature of Nostr can be an adventure in itself. Keep questioning and keep laughing along the way!
