Nostr Web Client

everything you just mentioned is as bad as or 100x worse on nostr

> reply and like counts where always wrong

10000x worse on nostr are you kidding me? There isn't even a canonical version of a thread to know if the count is correct.

> threads never loaded completely

same, except you'd never even know on nostr.

> everything was slow as hell

Maybe *only* 100x worse on nostr

> DMs suck

Nostr DMs weaken the security of your key dude

> no search

Factually incorrect, even in 2017.

> following people if you had their name/address was often cumbersome

Allow me to introduce you to non-human-readable pubkeys for identifiers

> sometimes you're just browsing on other servers, not your home server, for some reason, and there is no way to go home so you can interact

That's wrong, there literally is an "interact on my home server" button. But that's an admittedly clunky UX.

And in closing, mastodon is not the only fediverse server software. Pleroma is what I recommend, with the soapbox frontend. I genuinely have no idea what instance you used, or when, my only conclusion is it was misconfigured. Even in 2017 mastodon's UX was far better.

I never claimed Nostr was good in my post

my points were all objective and yours are all subjective, you didn't deny my criticisms (except for search but you are wrong), you just let it slip your bitterness and resentment against Nostr, wow, that was impressive and unexpected

but if anyone wants to know I think Nostr is better than mastodon in every aspect of those listed

listed

and since you claimed that pleroma is better or whatever I will also claim that you're probably using the wrong nostr client too

you were talking out of your ass and making shit up, verifiably.

As for subjective things like performance, any claims of performance problems ring completely hollow when I run my instance on a tiny underpowered VPS and it runs circles around every nostr client I've tried.

> you just let it slip your bitterness and resentment against Nostr

I don't hate nostr. I want nostr to get better, and I said outright I think it can.

I'm annoyed because nothing you said was true and you accused me of "bullshit".

The search and remote interaction points are verifiably wrong. Here's some screenshots in case there's a third party confused who is "bullshit"ing and who isn't.

These features have been present since 2017. Here's a github issue about search from 2017 that establishes search was present before this PR was submitted. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/1582

Here's a PR for remote following from 2017 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/898

Here's a PR for remote interaction with individual posts from 2017 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/8202

There's receipts, now please GTFO my notifications.

Whoops, last one is 2018, regardless.

the axiom 1y ago

search is internal to an instance
