It’s so strange we don’t record and keep for eternity all the conversations we have in real life.
I personally don’t care if tomorrow all my stuff here vanishes. The ones who appreciated my deranged notes maybe will remember.
In the end it would be much much better for the notes to disappear after few days or months.
As you mentioned conversations in real life are not recorded but only remembered for some time in our heads. Hopefully important stuff gets into our long-term memory and the rest can get lost after some time.
So in my opinion my regular chit chat on social media platforms can get deleted after some time and I would be okay with that. I think I would not go back a few years in my timeline and read my old posts. 😅
But what if someone posted some really valuable stuff. I would want that this note stays until infinity and beyond.
Yeah the next question is what is valuable? People value things differently.
Will be interesting how that will play out over time and what solutions will come up. 😊
If someone posted some really valuable stuff, that stuff would be safe in one or more of my local drives. If really really valuable, it would be printed and stored safely.
It’s the mindset that is wrong. The internet is a cauldron of informations. Nothing escapes the boiling soup, but not everything keeps surfacing.
‚It‘s the mindset that is wrong‘.
So if the product is shit the people should just change how they use social media?
Come on. What a silly point.
People use social media to keep their images, messages and connections reliable in an app. When that friend/family member connection works one day and not the next day… they leave and never come back. They consider the app broken.
On nostr you can invite a friend and connect to him via npub and maybe the next day this friend doesn‘t show up in your app or in ‚search’ anymore.
So in that case you tell him: ‚Just change your expectations. Your mindset is wrong.‘ ?
I’m sorry, maybe I didn’t explain myself clearly enough.
The wrong mindset is that of the people that think that information stored in the world wide web is safe and eternal. It is not so.
As for the rest of your kind reply, it is my opinion that we are losing the view of what are the main functions of many objects.
To me social networks are means to share informations, not store them.
Nostr is a decentralised protocol. As in all decentralised environments, information must be distributed to work well.
Want centralised information management? You pay for that. Dearly.
Have a great day!

Here you just have to manage your list of relays, somewhere else you may get your precious account banned.
There’s always a price. It’s up to you how you want to pay.
