We have to remember that Mastodon has been around since 2016. We're still incredibly early here.

And it still sucks as hard as it ever did.
Yet the rest didn't liked even me I don't after spending quite few months there around 2017
Apparently I joined in 2017. I just never used it. It felt like a shitty Twitter back then and I don't know if much has changed since then.
For me was like using tweetdeck so wasn't hard. Pleroma in the other hand that really is the shitty one lol.
I miss Tweetdeck. I can't wait for Nosdeck.
Yes was just thinking that's what we need yesterday. Is there one being developed?
Lume by nostr:npub1zfss807aer0j26mwp2la0ume0jqde3823rmu97ra6sgyyg956e0s6xw445 can fill this void. It's still a work in progress, but is becoming better all of the time. Snort/Iris can also operate in "Deck mode".
Ha, never thought about so I looked while at Nostrica and my account is since 2009. Used it some as I had big websites to market and it was another feed on people's sites to attract content and traffic.
Left it all for a few years, till I found bitcoin.
Amazing, that the weird little 140 character, limited app worked so well and was the one to become so globally accepted.
Keep it weird and smallπ
Just joined this platform already loving it π
Happy to have you on Nostr. What client are you using?
Sooo early! So grateful to be here already and watch it grow!
Huge thanks to nostr:npub1ngka5wg0m0y08yewl63e2gv4ml4smx0rj69kdsm0tumjaes673sql4xg87 for posting about #Nostr on Shitter back in February because that's how I found out about it!
I think they can't compete with Nostr but they have an advantage when they start earlier π€·ββοΈ
It is important, to realize that we're not really in competition with other decentralized social networks. We're trying to break the stranglehold that the corpocentric socnets have over online social. Everyone that uses any decentralized socnet instead of the big corporate centralized networks helps chip away their dominance.
That's also why I favor bridges between decentralized protocols and multiprotocol sites. If I don't have to join $NETWORK in order to interact with my contacts there, that benefits me and means we don't have to maintain a centralized fallback.
I think the instance model used by the Fediverse is too vulnerable to petty dictators, so they'll eventually need something closer to peer-to-peer (possibly Nostr or similar, as P2P that works as the network grows does not seem to be a solved problem). But it is a good intermediate step for people leaving centralized platforms.
TL;DR: The goal at this stage is to weaken the centralized platforms, not pick the eventual winner. Every decentralized user gained is progress.
Falling in love with Nostr. Currently using amethyst as a client but I'm thinking of switching to primal now.
We're #still_early .β€οΈ
