Do you like nostr protocol? I think that existing content shouldn’t be the reason to not be here. You can start creating the better one.
And btw nostr is not only social network…
Discussion
I like the protocol. I'd want to build on it and push it forward... but right now it feels like forcing myself to be naive again. I'd spend months building something that might not grow, or worse - watch it grow into something centralized. I don't see how I can be useful to Nostr right now.
Yes, there are other social networks... so I'll be everywhere and stop endorsing any specific one
Ok. Got it
Any decentralised protocol you prefer?
For private transactions Monero, for smart contracts and decentralized finance Ethereum :)
I was referring to communication and social media. None of those is very interesting to be, monero is too small (yet), eth has broken incentives (personal opinion, don’t feel the need to disprove me)
Yes, I know... I said the obvious, I don't see it so clearly within communication or social media. I like a lot of protocols, but I have no universal answers here
I'd have a hard time envisioning a scenario where Nostr becomes centralized... The architecture really seems to resist that.
I'd be more concerned about whether it ever gets traction in the first place.
he probably just wants more clout than the current nostr can give him
also trashing nostr while being inside nostr is a safe way to generate drama and followers inside nostr so that might suit him too
I don't know what you mean by clout, but I meant content and interactions around my interests. On Bluesky I could join in discussions with authors of favorite javascript frameworks, with my favorite pixelart artists or 3D modelers, talk about piracy, growing cannabis, movies, discuss with Marxists... There was always something that somehow moved me forward.
> also trashing nostr while being inside nostr
I'm used to criticizing and pushing forward that I'm involved in... it doesn't make much sense to me criticize something I don't use and don't care about. If you knew me, you would understand that this is a pretty consistent stance :)
The best discussions on Nostr are about the future of Nostr 😅
