Nostr is the laser-eyesβ attempt to prove that you donβt need a token to fail
You can also fail without a token

Lens protocol is a piece of shit that never works
Blue sky needs invite like some kind of virtue signal
Tell me the alternative?
Zucks threads?
Instagram?
1. twitter
2. zuckβs next thing ya
so far this place is a cesspool of maxis sry not sry
Twitter is fun
But Nostr can be better
Tbh I donβt really see maxis up my throat maybe Iam new here
It looks like nostr is still working to me, timely client updates, zero outages, no rate limits, free, all things I've watched twitter and other centralized services fail at over recent months.
my brother in christ you need to click a button to slowly load your follower count
I don't really care that much about my follower count, I get a reasonable amount of engagement with people I want to talk to, and sometimes I get a nice zap that I can forward to developers and newbies.
ok so itβs like a chat app for friends?
Well, I do have mostly friendly interactions on here, I like and respect a lot of the people, and I don't think most of them would have the time to respond to little ol' me if this were twitter so that's cool.
I mean, it could certainly be applied that way, using private relays for instance. Its a protocol that provides a lot of options though, like a more reddit style interface that I'm looking forward to, civkit as a decentralized marketplace sounds awesome. There isn't a defined financial incentive for developing here though, so developers are working as a passion project. It doesn't have the network effect that other platforms have, but all I get out of going to twitter is like 3 cute cat pics then a steady stream of anger.
I think thatβs the thing maybe. For me, I view Twitter as a way to reach a large audience. I donβt think nostr offers me that possibility: even the largest accounts here have less reach than I can have on Twitter (and Iβm not anywhere near being one of the largest accounts on Twitter!)
This is a fair criticism, right now its for early adopters and nerds who just want to send zaps for the sake of it.
We'll see overtime it things improve and other join. Right now its not for people with "larger" followings abd that's fine. We dont need Kim kardashian here yet.
Of course, maybe that changes with waves of adoption when phone addicted people are left with nothing better to do next time twitter has an outage or rate limits, maybe not, time will tell. I have a day job, it pays well enough, I'm just happy to be able to interact with people on the front lines of decentralized code, like calle, fiatjaf, will and vitor. I can help people switch to graphene OS and Linux, sharpen peoples economic understanding, provide nuance to culturally conservative and anarchist views, and like memes that might make the platform more fun.
I've had the urge to be an influencer several times, I've had mild success on twitter a couple times in that regard, but its not worth the heartache and I fail to have a positive impact. I don't want to be reliant on social media for supporting me financially, so it doesn't make sense for me to engage in farming engagement if it just leaves me angry and tense.
Thatβs very reasonable, thanks for sharing!
I'm sorry this isn't the overnight success you want it too be.
You have to at least admit it works right?
Not a maxi btw.
This note won't age well. #nostr #plebs #plebchain
wanna bet
Betting against #nostr is like shorting bitcoin. Once twatter maxis understand that here on this permissionless protocol you can earn 100% of your money for providing value or knowledge or entertainment all those mind controlling corporations will have no idea what to do they will start making g shitcoins to keep scamming.. plus I just heard of you from the ordinals stuff and heard you speak a few times you know exactly how this shit works. You probably yelling your buddies what you really love about #nostr and putting g up a front here. You know what you doing..
And he wonβt be able to delete this.
Guarantee you he comes back when NOSTR succeeds beyond expectations and says that he was an early adopter and saw the potential π€£
You could be spending your time anywhere, but you are choosing to be here.
Seems like it's succeeding to me *shrug*
You could spend your time on anything, but you choose to spend it tweeting 24/7 about how much you hate ethereum.
Seems like ethereum is succeeding to me *fart*
Bro's just here to trash on Nostr. It's cool homey, you can stay on Twitter with your monkey pics. Oh, what? Rate limits got you down but not enough shit coiners here for your liking yet?
Somehow this post came through just fine without failure.
Engagement farming on a "failed" social network from people you've largely blocked on the bird app is a weird move, but do you Udi.
Heβs just here because he misses us and blocked all bitcoiners remaining on the blueball app
Welcome to NOSTR troll! You being here actually perfectly exemplifies itsβ success! π€‘
