Nostr Web Client

Flix 6mo ago

I understand that professional content creators need to focus their efforts on the platforms where the masses are.

But it takes little effort to replicate that content on Nostr for censorship insurance.

As Nostr grows it will eventually make sense to be Nostr first, then Nostr only.

Is is early for that. We have time. A protocol is not a startup with limited runway where being early is being wrong.

Nostr will be around for a long time. We will have an infinite number of opportunities to make our case.

Also zaps ⚡️can power content in a way that youtube, insta, twitter just can't.

It is frustrating that it takes time for people to discover it... especially the people who we know need it the most!

But that's how the world works. It takes time for adoption. We saw it for e-mail, bitcoin, the web... it's the same for Nostr.

They’re addicted to the advertising revenue.

Change is hard.

💯 Up until like 5 years ago, I probably would have understood the complacency. But the censorship is in our face and getting worse. Some/many people will wait for max pain before they’ll change though.

"But it takes little effort to replicate that content on Nostr for censorship insurance."

This one is baffling to me, especially with respect to simple posts which are essentially just a few sentences and maybe a URL. No way they're THAT busy, they can't take five seconds to copy and paste the contents of their tweet into their Nostr client.

Not even that! You can automate it. No need to manually copy-paste.

I don't think that is the issue... the mental block is a different one.

I've spoken to a couple big content creators about it... they just don't want to spend the mental energy of learning a new social. They don't get the value.

I think that the real reason is that there are 100s of social media platforms and they don't believe that Nostr is different.

What they really don't have time for is to study ALL of them and learn that Nostr is something else.

Making the pitch is one thing. Making them understand is something else entirely!

It does not help that 'protocol' sounds alien to most people. 'Uncensorable' sounds like it might be about gambling or porn. 'Micropayments' reminds people of scammy in-app purchases and DLCs...

I think the sales pitch has to be different. Perhaps for creators it's more about "own your content" and for users about "control your feed" than about other issues that bitcoiners care about...

No creo que grandes creadores de contenido necesiten resguardarse de la censura, su producto es de consumo y desecho.

Donde si creo es necesario #nostr es para tener una vía de comunicación entre usuarios comunes que viven en regímenes totalitarios.

Pero es una muy pequeña parte que lo necesitan pero tampoco lo entienden, por lo tanto más se demora en la adopción de nuevas tecnologías.

Me gusta que el protocolo ya sea una opción más. #hola #grownostr

Creo que no tienes que vivir en un régimen totalitario para poder tener una vía de comunicación sin sensuras y libre de algorítmos consumistas. La gente más esclavizada mentalmente está en las grandes ciudades, con su cabeza metida todo el día en TikTok, generándose mas y mas ansiedad a ellos mismos.

Verdad. Pero es ahí donde surge la necesidad. Y solo cuando tenemos necesidad de algo lo valoramos y usamos. Mientras tanto no es importante. Y justamente el ejm de TikTok que haces está siendo usado por millones justamente por que cubre una necesidad humana que la mayoría busca. Distracción lúdica de sus realidades. #hola
