Nostr Web Client

I think we need to communicate more what Nostr already is.

For me, it's a place where I meet friends and make new friends all the time. I can communicate without being afraid. I see beautiful photos, learn about great people and how they go about their daily lives, we share terrible and great moments, we discuss politics but also sports and lifestyle like health and nutrition. The community is incredibly supportive . You can learn so much here. I myself share few bitcoin content.

In addition, we can determine ourselves which users or content should appear in our timeline. I can discuss in nests or just have fun. I can show my appreciation directly through zaps, likewise I receive this appreciation very directly. I can contribute directly. Can participate in the development itself.

If you know all this, then you are ready to take on technical hurdles and can also endure the fact that not everything runs smoothly technically.

That is a great explanation! Is there one part you value most between people if content or zaps?

How many new users do you thing we can onboard over time without diluting the niceness of our community?

I fear that with too rapid growth in active users, with people who are used to interacting on twitter for exaple, the way we treat eachother now could be lost 🤔 and it will be just twitter all over again

Actually, no. It is the most diverse posts that appeal to me. It can be a picture, another time a link to a great post on YouTube and another time it's a link to a song that touches me at that very moment.

As for user numbers. I'm split on that.

On the one hand, I think that a slow growth is better. Not everyone has to be on Nostr. I fear for this place.

On the other hand, I have it in my own hands what I look at on Nostr. No algorithm blasts my timeline full of garbage. I can also control content via relays. I am not at the mercy, so I can design my Nostr.
