***** #Rant And #Complaints About #Nostr So Far *****

So I'm a forum/reddit type of person. I'm not into following fucking 'people' or celebrities. It's retarded.

Like, I don't care about some dumb thought you post that you think is inspirational or clever. Or basically pretty much everything that's on nostr, with all honesty.

I don't understand the appeal to the Twitter layout. I don't. It's a firehouse of random shit. No categories , no topics, I don't get that. I'm going to social media because I'm interested in looking at my interests.

Osint, clothes, reddit alternatives, social media, pet care, hair care etc

Where the fuck am I supposed to look? Just shift through a bunch of bullshit? Oh, wait, a hashtag right?

Yea well guess what? That doesn't solve shit. Here's why.

When I'm on reddit in the makeup sub, I GO DIRECTLY TO THE MAKEUP SUB. THING IS, THERE ARE NO SUBS FOR MAKEUP HERE.

I can filter by MULTIPLE words inreddit. Not just by ONE.

When I'm lookin for eyeliner brushes, I can type that in and find all the posts and comments seperated for each and with the words highlighted.

You can't do that here. I would have to look for #eyeliner #makeup #brushes separately.

That's just an example. Do you see what I'm saying here?

Do you see the problem? Yes there are communities, but no one is using them because they are optional.

Why can't words that are hashtaged be automatically populated into those communities? They would group together into the communituy but also still show in the feed.

So if you come here looking for something, you don't have to search for it.

It's not the extra effort that pisses me off. What makes me irritated is, you can't find what you want to see in an efficient way, that makes sense, is organized and isn't cluttered.

Shits all over the place. Also, with reddit and internet forums, your interests are actually fucking there. And seperated for you, FOR YOU TO FIND. Making it easy to contribute in the right sub. That's what you go there for.

●●● But this is a blogging platform. So the fuck is nostr ever going to have communities that operate like forums? ●●●

People arnt here for their interests or to contribute to any. They're here to BLOG, post pictures of what they are having for dinner, say something random, or obsess about fucking Bitcoin.

It's like, built for people to talk about themselves and pretty much post about whatever they want THAT ISN'T TOPIC BASED.

In closing.

I'm sorry I complained this much. I know posts on the internet when someone bitches is really fucking annoying. If I was a developer and had that knowledge and skill set. I would fix nostr myself. But I can't.

Anyway, thank you for reading. I know I complain about this alot.

Don't be sorry. You're trying t love the needle to make the protocol better for those who want a different interface. That's not a bad thing

Thank you. I just wished they listened. They don't care about anything other then Bitcoin.

I'm not sure if Alex Gleason is a nostr developer specifically or works for nostr/jack, but he's the one who made the fediverse bridge just to get some diversified content that wasn't centered around Bitcoin.

If he's not working directly for nostr, and did that himself, that really shows the nostr developers are lazy fat fucks who don't give a shit about anything other then fucking Bitcoin.

I just feel like they are pretending, and trying to get whatever will benefit them because of Bitcoin

I don't know enough yet to really respond, but, all I know is that I like it here so far, even with its flaws, so I'm biased and can't be too critical.

As for being lazy, it doesn't seem that way to me. Heck, amethyst has been updated 4 times in the two weeks I've been on this protocol. That's really fast paced dev work.

I do see the value in better topical modes, though. The interface, at least on amethyst, is not particularly well organized, IMO.

I can agree
