Social media users, when nostr finally makes sense
Discussion
Poor guy has never seen anything at that point 😂😂
I've wanted something with portable social graphs for a long time. Having this is extremely powerful and creates a free market for clients with all of them sharing the same serve-side infrastructure. Users and onboarding flow are the main bottlenecks.
If setting up relays becomes a lot easier, this could disrupt the $450 billion cloud computing industry.
Nobody is bullish enough on Nostr.
We need to stop obsessing about having a 'global state'. It's a very 'Ethereum mindset'. Global state is not necessary for Nostr to work. Not everyone needs to see everything all the time.
Nostr is better off being an underground thing. If it becomes mainstream and the normals flood in, it will be as toxic as any other social media platform.
But we have different relays for the suckers
This is my main complaint with Nostr, it's trying to reinvent social media which in itself is a shitcoin. I use X, Nostr and Mastodon for social media and Nostr is the worse one of them all. It's just a bunch of fart stiffing and praising Daddy Dorsey.
So basically, you're saying humanity in general is toxic. I don't really disagree with you, I just want it clarified what you mean.
I don't think humanity is toxic. You can talk to people in person and they are generally polite and respectful. I think social media is different because it tends to award the loudest and angriest with the most attention.
I like Nostr right now because it's friendly and productive, but it's also a very small social network. My worry is that as more people come in, that will be lost and it will devolve the same angry attention-seeking behavior as the other social networks.
yeah, small communities are much better, I agree. but we have 8 billion people that deserve the same sense of community.
