Is anyone working on a migration tool for shitcoin socials?
I'm not particularly bothered about Twitter, but we have a family Insta account that documents our overlanding travels that I'd like to nostr-ize and continue on here.
'starting again' might also be a bigger barrier to entry for noobs than we think. Sunk cost fallacy etc.
Polarsteps, iOverlander, park4night could also do with the #nostr treatment too!
#grownostr
Good problem to work on

Here we go ...
Does the spec allow timestamping of notes that is not 'now'?
Would be cool to have 'publish date' and 'note date' for this import use case.
Depends on the relay I would say. A client can put any timestamp on a note, that's why we had some fun bugs a month ago with sticky posts from the future.
Ooohhhh, that's super interesting.
Gonna spin up a new travel key-pair now and I can then figure out how to backfill content later.

Some relays have a limit on how old of an event they will accept. Strfry for example uses this default (3 years).
rejectEventsOlderThanSeconds = 94608000
Some relay operators will make this more strict to protect disk space/query speed from being dragged down by very old events that (almost) nobody is accessing.
Archive relay will be required then.
I was thinking about the same!
The big barrier to move is the lost social graph and lost data. If we bridge this with the possibility to migrate our data, then the friction becomes less.
There is a debate in Oxen, which is a decent privacy chat platform, but it ia tokenized and fraught with internal governance strife. GovernorDAO has a great MVP but ditto. Colony DAO was impressive philosophically but ditto. Seems the ICO Web3 scam has run full course. Here is hoping they see The Orange Light
I thought about building a tool for it a few times now. Is there enough interest for it?
Input: Instagram/Twitter/etc
Output: nostr events (but it would have a current timestamp)
Any other ideas?
