Nostr Web Client

Vivi Nella Verita 2y ago

Newbies to Nostr are acting like this is exciting and new and never done before. It's really disappointing that alt-tech never became popular and people think that Nostr will make it big.

Don't forget about XMPP, Matrix, Mastodon, ActivityPub, etc .....These have relatively smaller userbases compared to Twitter and it's not new.

Did everyone forget history or was never exposed to these cool technologies? The end result is that the most people don't give a shit.

I hope that Nostr really makes it big and becomes mainstream. The likely end result is that Nostr will be like Mastodon and have a few million users in segregated communities that hate each other

Even if there’s a 1% chance of Nostr becoming mainstream we have to give it a shot!

to be charitable, everybody finds stuff for the first time at a different time. everybody is here because of bitcoin but a nonzero number of people got into bitcoin for freedom and not just fat stacks so i am giving people the benefit of the doubt

Alas, XMPP I knew you too well. Nostr is neat because it works. What does it do? it lets you talk to people. that's a pretty low bar tbh, but that's it. the draw is the people on it. Right now mostly it appears to be people jerking off about some nebulous threat to change the world forever and bring about fully automated luxury crypto utopia, which, fine. Ultimately, it's sperg software for spergs to talk to other spergs with, making it not much better than XMPP or AP.

A huge proportion seem completely ignorant of the prior art
