I don't know who needs to hear this, but Twitter is just a microblogging web app.
If I thought we were just working on a Twitter 2.0, I wouldn't bother working on it. 😂 I'm here for the other stuff.

Twitter hardly even does anything. It's not even as complicated as Outlook or SAP. What Twitter has is a gazillion users and a data management and regulatory headache.
We don't have as many users, and we avoid a lot of regulation through decentralization and splitting up of the layers, so we don't have as many headaches.
We don't need 280 million users to turn a profit because we can run and maintain the whole thing with 100 devs and admins, most of them part-time and many unpaid hobbyists, spread across the planet.
This is the use case
WE ARE FUCKING CHEAP AND WE HAVE ZERO FUCKS TO GIVE, SO GFY.
Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.
Nostr as a protocol for hobbyists and tinkerers is the top selling point, but that aspect doesn't seem to be all that well known (outside of here lol).
Doesn't need to be well-known. We're just going to build stuff on top of that protocol and sell it, and all of this disparate, seemingly unrelated stuff will work together and it'll be like magic.
It doesn't need to be well-known, but I think there's probably people out there who would like to play about building stuff. And have no idea that that is possible on nostr. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Then they're probably not very bright, so fuck em.
They might just not be on social media or otherwise unaware lol. They may even be quite happy lol:)
Y'all can't even imagine how ridiculously cheap Nostr is. 😂
The German government spent over €214 million on just their stupid Corona App and it doesn't even have as much functionality as Nostrudel. 🤣🤣
Pfffft. We spent £37B
Fr fr no 🧢
Musk paid $44 billion for Twitter. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know what Twitter does?
It sends tweets.
The end. 😂
You see this? You see this?
THIS IS WHAT TWITTER DOES. 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe, but at least people still use it
Yes, my point is that we don't need them to move here, to have a use case or stable financing. Twitter actually needs all of its users, just to not go bankrupt and be forced to close.
We can't go bankrupt and we can't be forced to close. We can only get bored.
That’s hilarious. In Chinada, we have the ArriveCan app. It’s a glorified form. It was supposed to cost 60K CAD but ended up costing a whopping 80M CAD. For a form. Litterally any nostr client has more functionnality than that scam 😂😂🤡
Every app ever, fr. That's why Jack and Odell are raising all of this money and stuff, since they're going by budgets like that, but we could probably run and maintain everything we have from the money they've already collected for decades. If they put some of that money into Bitcoin, we could finance this all basically forever.
We're so friggin cheap that we can subsist indefinitely off of Bitcoin dust. 😂
It's peanuts.
It sure gives a lot of hope for the future of nostr.
I'm always amazed when I see hundreds of millions being spent on a simple app. I feel like 50M/year could pay for SO MUCH dev time, like how could you even spend that much money that fast? Hire 200 developers and 50 managers, all full time?
