Mirror bots are a thing across current social media platforms because each platform holds a proprietary copy of the content.
For new platforms built on nostr, all content is cross platform by design. This is why content creators will migrate, they will also drag their audiences across to apps built on nostr.
Nostr apps are more powerful, they can natively see the content posted in completely different nostr apps (but obvs can’t x-platform to legacy web).
The issue is that people repost from Twitter to mastodon, but only interact on Twitter, which leaves mastodon full of empty statements and no interesting interaction.
This behavior should be shamed on Nostr.
I post on Twitter and have it mirrored to Mastodon. I have notifications enabled for both browser and mobile though. Anytime someone engages with me from over on Mastodon, I go and show them some love. Now with Nostr being my main social platform though, that will slowly cease to exist.
A pasted tweet without the engagement, even with responses from the OP, are a fraction of the experience.
I understand, I also understand why people do that.
I don’t think that is going to apply here. We are going to see a proliferation of clients (apps) built on nostr and they are going to be superior to legacy web apps for various technical reasons.
e.g. Imagine a world where there are 5 social media apps and each app has 10m unique daily active users.
If you built that same ecosystem on nostr, then each app would have 50m daily active users.
If someone built a 6th social media app on nostr, it would have 50m daily active users at launch. Why would anyone develop legacy web apps ever again?
nostr is just a much more connected way to develop web apps. The point being that on nostr there is a single massive user universe and and client merely plugs into that existing userverse (think I coined a term there?).
The app developer surrenders proprietary control of user data, but gains instant access to a huge user base.
This is very different. It is so foundational.
I expect it’s really going to change everything.

Exactly. Want users to switch to your platform? Provide value over your competitors, and people are more likely to at least try it out, because they won't be sacrificing their existing contacts in order to do so.

Came here for this sort of education. Tq!
Crazy that I’ve seen this nostr post of mine appear across multiple other apps in the last 48 hours.
I blame #[3] for boosting month old posts of mine 😂
Original point stands though and is an important one. nostr clients are not really competing with each for users, nostr clients actually feed users to each other. I can create content with client A and I can reach the entire audience of clients A, B, C, D, E…
When one client does well, all others benefit. This one nuance is a major difference v’s traditional social media.
It’s potentially a much larger monetisation surface for content creators, and there might be huge first mover advantages for those creators who become established on nostr before the herd moves.
Mastodon is closed. Hopefully that won’t be the case for Nostr. We’re already talking about ways to make sharing notes from other content/mediums easier directly to Nostr. Some web standards don’t make it easy.
I’m about 95% sure that nostr is going to be upstream of everything.
I think this will be the emergent landscape from the technological reality of what nostr actually is vis legacy platforms.
