Good morning #Nostr.

I am seeing a lot of nostriches being much more active on Twitter than on #Nostr.

#MarchOffTwitter was fun, but now looks like ages ago.

The future of every protocol depends on the actions of its users. If we want it to scale, be used more and more, if we want other social media to be open source, if we want it to become something more than just a fancy social app, everyone needs to something.

Posting on Twitter and then reposting that here is probably the opposite we should do to on-board people on #Nostr.

Arguments and discussion with notes between Devs about Nips, and forcing forks can create fragmentation.. why not a weekly NostrNest were devs have brainstorm idea and live discussion with eachother trying to find a common way before making Nips or updates that will have big impact on every user experience. In the end everyone can do whatever, but at least trying to do something together it's worth trying.

#Nostr like #Bitcoin is a protocol, it's an idea, it can't be killed, but it can't be ignored, forget, abandoned.

Pura Vida. 🍀💜🫂☯️

It’s always going to come down to incentives. Just like #Bitcoin, if the incentives are strong enough, it’s just a matter of time.

I totally agree, 💯!

🙏💜🫂 Run Nostr. LEAVE 🐦 You hardly miss some old grumpy friends. Ore clown news. I never liked socials. Here is no distracting commercials and stupid topics blowing by. wonderfully no more headaches and no more high blood pressure or excitement about that stupid shit. But love nostr 💜

💡Because of the different thinking and the creative, smart, fast people and circuits here. I missed you Amico🎶 play music. use nostr. Add notes & Stacksats. Meme and smile all day with people you like and zap ⚡️ If all goes well, I'll hang around here for a while and keep fucking around with you Amico!! 💜🫂🎶🤣🍀🧡🍊💊🌍💯

I never left, just had finally a weekend with my girlfriend 😁🥰💜(we live in two different countries, If someone has a job to offer me in London, please DM 😅)

Today I have a to work earlier than usual and very likely I will have to cancel #IntuitiveSoundRadio for today also, because I will have to drive at least 2hrs today 🥲.

I will not go back to the Twiddler. Nostr or bust.

Same.

For me it's been like #2023OffTwitterAndMore 😁

Same, not been to that cesspit for ages

What is twitter

We have a winner! 😁💜🫂☯️

yes to open discussions and brainstorming! nostr needs to be nurtured especially in its infancy

Things take time. People will come at their own pace. When THEY get a reason. And those reasons will be practical ones related to their needs.

And mainly, it will be because Twitter fucks up in a way that pisses them off, not because of philosophy. Devs need philosophy to guide them. Very early users (us) are usually intrigued by and come to play because, philosophy, but the rest of the world. PRACTICAL makes them move. The rest, they can discover.

I pitch in my world as, "Like Twitter, but fans can send you money, direct, instantly, and you get 100%. All you have to do, join, bring your fans"

The Fans - join because their fave creator did.

I use Twitter on a rare occasion only to talk about nostr. 😃 they’ll be back eventually. Sometimes lessons and value have to be learned through experience 🤙

Honestly my problem with nostr is the lack of algorithm. My timeline is basically just full 3 accounts that post every few hours. If somebody i follow posted on the weekend or even a few hours before I wish it would see it too.

There won’t be an algorithm the way you are familiar with, but there will be more discovery tools in the future. Maybe you just aren’t following enough variety of accounts. I guess the question is, are you happier being in control here, or are you okay with freely giving all your activity to a company so it can sell it to advertisers?

I guess what he describes is more like a filter option for his home feed. For example there could be a "only show Favourites" function for accounts whose Notes you don't want to miss.

Or apps could go with primal's approach and list the notes from your home feed with the highest zap amount or reactions within the last X hours.

Exactly I don't want a server side filter. It would be cool if I can just have more control over what I request in home client side.

Sample:

Servers give me notes that got >10 zaps in the 24h. Push me highly commented notes etc.

And the other way around. Show me a maximum of 5 posts from today from one person in home.

being heard by followers on twitter has a greater value proposition than being heard by followers on nostr —- granted people are incentivized in a certain way

Twitter... That was a long time ago 😄

I don't miss it.

Will leave Twitter soon

Social media was just the first obvious thing that nostr could be used for. Entrenched social media is hard to break away from due to network effects. As more nostr enabled apps expand and become more robust. The users will come back. When I can use one client across multiple use cases, the value will be greater than traditional social media. Zaps is good but needs expanding to other things aside from social media to gain more traction.

Pura vida! 💜🫂🍀☯️

Well. Twitter is MUCH more important for the freedom of speech in this particular space of time, 1,5 years before a presidential election, than Nostr. Nostr will probably grow and swallow everything on the Internet, but right now it has NO possibility to actually compete with Twitter, which compared to FB etc actually provides Freedom of speech to people who have been denied that for years.

One idea would be to capture notes written notes here and paste them on other networks, a radical adoption for Nostr would not bring benefits, we would only feed this natural focus on crypto and bitcoin existing here... this peace that we all feel is with the days numbered as soon as the protocol begins to fulfill its true role giving voice to the canceled!

Censorship will feed this new world!
