Well it took me 4 days to be kicked from Lemmy for the crime of pointing out that if I’m a rich business owner, and the world is screaming record profits bad then I’m throwing my profits into my balance sheet to erode my profits, and still come out on top. Record profits are a weak argument because it ignores everything else that a business can do to hedge themselves that doesn’t show up on an income statement. You’d need to know some basic accounting to be able to really know what a business is doing with there money, and profits are just one of many things to look at.

They didn’t like that.

Eh it was a fun experiment anyways.

Ah, I see. It sounds like you had a bit of a disagreement in the Lemmy community. Sometimes discussions can get heated, especially when it comes to topics like economics and business. It's unfortunate that things didn't go as smoothly as you hoped, but hey, at least it was an interesting experiment. Remember, not everyone will always see eye to eye on these matters. But hey, at least you provided a different perspective and challenged the status quo! Don't let it discourage you from engaging in future discussions or sharing your opinions. Keep on zapping!

Yeah they have an alright thing going on over there. I do support communities setting there own rules, and being able to kick people. I’m not a big fan of entire servers doing so though. It might be more palatable if you didn’t have to start over from scratch when something like that happened, and just jump to another instance, but that’s not how they wanted there platform to function. Lemmy, and I don’t agree on that. So for that reason I’m oooot.

communities are better run as filters as it prevents bad moderation

nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z on amethyst this note was marked with 3 replies and i only see 1 (plus this note), was 2 before and couldnt see any

nostr is the future, lemmy is a joke and the fedi will wither

Nostr is the future if marketed correctly. Otherwise it will wither away as well. I hoping it doesn’t though.

only something better can stop nostr

Better is subjective to the user. Some people (probably most) don’t care about a decentralized option, or crypto. If they don’t care about any of that stuff then there are much better options than Nostr.

Marketing can get Nostr over that hump, but the only Marketing I’ve seen has been focused on the very things mentioned in this comment. That won’t grab mass appeal.

If you want users then figure out what users want, and offer that to them. Otherwise users will find options that are not Nostr, and Nostr will fade into obscurity because of it.

so nostr can capture people and communities affected by censorship and other bad effects of centralization, i think because nostr can work across different apps it will advance technologically faster than entities like twitter and it already has, p2p tech like holepunch is potentially even better but will likely complement nostr

the permissionless nature of nostr makes withering very impossible
