I've noticed a decrease in activity from some accounts on #Nostr lately. Do you think it's because most of the prominent topics are focused on zaps and zapathons?
And, how can we encourage more diverse & engaging discussions?
⁉️💡
Discussion
Better categorisarion and indexation of diverse content on different clients, and the variation in content will appear
Agree. This will add value
Also more people being aware of and caring about the fact that we’re all constantly being fucked in the ass in sly roundabout ways by the platforms, software, and hardware we use would help
Unfortunately 99% of the time when “education” is the answer to a widespread problem, virtually no progress is made
Yes this note is emo af, sorry
I see engaging discussions on my feed. Maybe you need to stretch out a little? #grownostr
Good to know
I think some of it is just being early, I bet 99% of the first internet forum users were really into computers.
Maybe some way of identifying interest lists? Hashtags work OK but there is prob a better way of doing it.
You have a point here. And yes adding categories/interests will be useful
Perhaps there was an inflow of people such as myself, brought in light of the Damus vs Apple case.
In my case, despite being a Twitter user for as long as I can remember, I never interacted much for not finding there the community spirit I see here.
I’m still finding my way, and people are being very friendly and helpful, so I hope to share and exchange more over time.
If you are new to #nostr and reading this, feel free to reach out, this is a vibrant place built on top of an exciting tech.
I’m happy to read :)
We can talk about hardware wallets 😂
It’s funny bc at first all the Bitcoin and zapping did turn me off but one thing that kept me coming back and also got me to start zapping was #artstr and #tunestr
I’m on Bluesky too but it’s seemingly having a similar problem. Nostr has kind of taken the lead for me as for as interest goes because of the hashtags and some of the clients.
Getting zapped does help too lol but that requires initial effort so might turn off the masses🤷🏼♂️
One thing that’s nicer on nostr (at the expense of the bsky/at devs) is the appreciation of the underlying tech
The devs get shredded for the dumbest shit on #bsky and they cave to the social media rather than the #decentralized protocol it seems
This has created an student government type of community which is not a compliment imo
Overall it’s still awesome and promising just my 2 cents
