Subnostr

I signed up for bluesky in 2021, a whole year before I even heard of #nostr. Today I got my invite code. My enthusiasm from my signup was gone. What I thought to be an open & decentralized alternative to twitter, turned out to be a snobbish invite club. I wish them best of luck, with their efforts. But excluding people with early interest to favor people with clout; was a misstake, in this case.

I build and am on nostr now. Here my enthusiasm got ground to stand on right out of the box, and it felt more welcomming and more in line with what I thought a project like this was all about.

Thanks all #nostriches! You make my day, daily, it's fun posting here; and developing tech with you guys!

the invites created a community it intended to create

FOMO helped with marketing, as they just hit 2M users

Until it becomes decentralized it’s basically another Twitter

maybe so, but they lost my excitement. I was likely among the first 1% on their waiting list, but didn't get the invite until over a million other people got onboarded. So yeah... I had my time losing the hype and getting interested in other things.

The aristocratic onboarding, left a bad after-taste in my opinion and hence I'm more excited about #nostr today.

But I wish the blueskye people

good luck, I really do.
