Nostr Web Client

The dwindling numbers tell a grim story that those outside the circlejerk see as common sense:

Nostr is Just r/bitcoin. There were some who tried to make it a little more lively, but they were shut down. It was clear that the authors of the protocol and clients were more interested in zaps than building an interesting community (or, really, communities).

So that's what they got: a bunch of NPCs "zapping" each other fractions of a cent all day, smelling each other's farts, congratulating one another on their delusions of being the new banking class.

Every relay is the same. Every user is the same. Ever post is the same. "We are all such geniuses! PV!!"

I'm not sure I'll disagree with you too much, it doesn't feel like a social media a lot of the time in fact. As a user it feels like stepping into what should be closed beta for Devs. Which is sort of interesting to me at least. There are some (albeit v unlikely) scenarios which would make user vibrant, and I don't think they'll happen any time soon. Or it'll happen not as-is but on an offshoot of a web app attached to nostr with a particularly usage. I think the most likely scenario would happen after a period of nostr 'dying' and a community steeping into the wasteland, like offgridders. Again, I'm not sure this is likely.
