I like that Olas is taking off, but I'd rather not see people just recreating fiat platforms but now with zaps. The architecture of those platforms and the assumptions that go into the design are centered around maximizing engagement to drive advertisements, surveillance, and centralization, not social connection and local communities.

I think the Nostr apps that will survive won't look like the fiat tech that preceded it.

How do you use nostr in a way that supports social connection and local communities?

Have you heard of the ⭕?

Really outta make a word doc with the raw npubs for myself to reference.

Maybe a listr.lol list 🤔

TIL about listr.lol

I haven't used it in a hot minute, but it looks like it's developed a lot since then.

Big question is does it integrate with clients John uses

The only thing I'm inta grating is parmesan

Walk it off. Today gets better. I promise.

🫡

😂🤣🧀

That's a good one. I'm gonna add it to the gifset.

Sweet, I made that one a long time ago 😂

👆

I'm hilarious

No client has a button that just says: tag everyone in this list. Because everyone's afraid of hellthreads.

Or a note on his phone.

….or an Obsidian note 🔥

My Softwar subscribers list is literally just a text file with npubs. When people zap the release I manually copy their npub over. It's very high tech 😂

If it works it works 😂

It does haha 😂🤣 That's the great thing about Nostr. You really just need the bare minimum to get something to work. Everything else is bells and whistles.

I think I might have answered a question I've been wondering about with that.

Robust foundations 💪

Can't believe I forgot anonymous. I just can't remember a name that's not a name.

And nic is impossible to tag for some reason, I had to save a bookmark to his npub so I could go grab him

Nostr discoverability is lacking. Dead platform.

Shortcoming of Primal it seems.

Super weird... Maybe my npub is ultra retarded 🤔 ⭕

When I do @ nic you almost never show up.

nostr:nprofile1qqsg678njqapkuyvwa5kup7j7jgxteujhqcgy4ne4ajsxy7z6v3nxuqpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7qfpwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxcetcd9hxwar0de3xjarrda5kutn0wfnj7qgewaehxw309amk7apwwd6kgmmrv9excmmn9e3k7mf00u8nqq I can tag myself easily, but maybe it's just because it's my own npub? Who knows, nostr is weird

User error. Top of the list for me. Every time.

I would never use error.

What client are you using?

Mostly primal, damus on my phone sometimes

Primal on desktop?

ya

Yeah primal kinda retarded. Damus doesn’t have that problem. Also primal misses a lot of notifications, you should use a different desktop client:

Nic doesn’t show up on primal for me either lol they don’t have the common sense to sort the users you follow at the top

nostr:npub134u08yp6rdcgcamfdcra9aysvhne9wpssft8ntm9qvfu95erxdcqx9qjkm

No, and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

It's essentially the thread that emerged below.

THIS

If you head over to the business idea section of this pod when they touch on dating apps, it's sad to hear what the incentives and outcomes are for those running engagement-data-driven businesses:

And while I tend to agree with your sentiment, I do think zaps are a fundamental shift in monetization possibilities as they allow for another form of profit-making thay doesn't have to rely on data harvesting, clicks, and ads. Existing fiat platforms have predatory design patterns, yes, but they can be made drastically better with zaps.

Instagram didn't always look like instagram.
