How many of you are exclusive to Nostr? is there anything you miss from the other apps?
Discussion
Yes, and no. I initially missed what felt like the liveliness of twitter, but it's become a dumpster fire. No looking back.
I only debase stuff through my nostr
I miss some of the national news but beyond that nostr is more than I need
News is just entertainment in a different form any way. Ask yourself this:
- When was the last time i read/saw a news article and i changed my life because of it?
- (From the top of your head) What were the most important articles of last month?
I've heard many people say it is important to be up to date with what's happening in the world, but the reality is that i can read about events happening somewhere and that may give some kind of emotional feeling of angriness, happiness or sadness, but i am not going to change anything in my life because of it. So it feels very aritificial to me to spend time on it.
News articles can still be a a good source if you are actually looking for information on a subject, but just presenting daily affairs of things that will have no impact on me except emotions is just wasteful.
Wow. You just blew my mind
i honestly miss elon's xeets
Never had Twitter. Still have Instagram and Facebook for business. Both are super lame compared to Nostr.
I still follow Twitter/X links posted in Telegram, just to read that specific content, but that’s about it.
#Nostr only #noregrets
nostr or nothing
The ability to sell things easily locally and sometimes national news. I still go to FB every now and again to sell stuff
I came here mostly because it was what bitcoiners were talking about. I have never used any other social media platform in any meaningful way (i.e. i never had a twitter account and i used to have a facebook account that i maybe posted 2 or 3 things on 15 years ago).
I am not that much interested in the social media aspect even though it's nice that there are a lot of like-minded people on here. To me it's more about other possibilities this type of platform can offer. There's loads of potential here for widely different use cases than other platforms can offer without deviating too much from their core business.
the only thing I miss is the storage options for video content. It is limited atm and whilst I do not mind paying, the storage is not competitive to other storage. My only alternative is usingy own hosting which in a wag gave me more control. It is a win-win for me.
There legitimately are some amazing Bitcoin devs who primarily use X/Twitter and I miss their knowledge and education.
