what were the first few months like? adoption dynamics follow the typical curve. everyone on their best behavior, and without solid direction orchestration or guidance, principles to aspire to - everyone's back to what they were doing before in short order. cracking that plasticity is difficult. what really amazes me is how people are goaded into being algorithmically controlled and conditioned and often (95%+) have no idea it's even happened. [insert names of major social networks here.] What bothers me about the platform fundamentally though, is it ties in heavily with the goal of uniquely ID'ing the content of social publishing "posts." It's much easier to be "anonymous" if there isn't a single point of origination. With all internet traffic running through darpa since day one, and cloudflare proxying most of the web at this point, well - the future is looking mighty strange, and of course, this was all on the roadmap the whole time - just as things iterate the names of the players change, to of course keep the hands clean. anyway.. hoping you have a good day.

Yep. All anyone here cares about is money. The few posts that aren't about money are mostly from the Mostr bridge.
I think Nostr would do a lot better with a stronger sense of communities instead of the giant, faceless borg that it is currently. Right now, one relay is basically the same as every other relay. Maybe that's just something that will improve over time.
Clients could push the ball forward a little by making it more prominent which relay(s) a given post came from. Maybe more relays would benefit from whitelisting pubkeys or identities instead of blindly forwarding everything, etc.
this is very chill...(interesting ideas.) btw remind me your fedi handle ? i just sent you an inqury from the instance im on (mine) so yeah please reply there.
I deleted my fedi instance a little while back. I'm considering making a new one, since Nostr really isn't working out all that well for me overall. Needs more time to bake.
I wanted to get involved with developing things for it, but the community is turning out to be a lot more soy than I had hoped--good for them, just not really the kind of freedom activists I thought they might be at first. They want money first and foremost, and principles of freedom are secondary at best.

just actually saw this, as it didnt show in iris OR nostrgram. in more-speech yes,
so replying:
>what was your instance called?
> yeah. thats what i was seeing too but didnt' want to speak to it. agreed though. there's no vision here, that i can see. just a giant experiment.. with typical human behavioral dynamics.
if you want back on fedi you can shoot me an email and i'll tell you where to go from there.
