This is already a far better system than Mastodon ever was. I never felt like there was a “global” social graph at all. Everyone was so disconnected on Mastodon as to hardly be able to call it a network.
The beginnings of Nostr feel like something that could be huge.
Use Keet, Nostr, Slashtags, etc all together… and shit could change fast, imo
absolutely agree - i just couldn't enjoy Mastodon as couldn't get my friends to stay on it - this is different and love that we can essentially build ontop of this to create new ways of communicating.
Those that were loud & had been deplatformed fled to Mast to broadcast a constant stream of negative doom. It broght the whole vibe down.
Nostr users are coming here by opting in. They see the value in building something better, rather than just escaping oppression.
Much better feels & unlimited potential.
It's one of the best demonstrations that the bitcoin ethos under a value for value model can work.
We've just gotta scale this bitch. Like bitcoin, it will take time but it's moving so damn quickly.
The glaring deficiency of Mastodon and activityPub in general is the lack of encryption and reliance on DNS.
So I have LITTLE understanding of how it all works, but when #[1] and #[2] recommend it, I'm there! :P
I set up an account on Bitcoin hackers, but felt like I was talking to myself.
100% It was easy to set up but it felt like nobody was there and reach was very very limited. Like shouting to a room with a few people, rather than a city with 5m people
