Nostr is the super app. Because it’s actually an ecosystem of apps, all of which make each other better. People haven’t grasped that yet. They will when it’s more accessible and onboarding is more straightforward and intuitive. nostr:note12exs84ye7g8mnh6rhhx57qahu3eag2husz8natqcumej6y90tx6s4q6tdx

That’s why I’m so excited about NIP-31 + NIP-89
It obligates the advantage/appeal superapps have with an overwhelming superior offering superapps simply CANNOT match
Have you looked at those, #[2] ?

Imo Elon's decision-making is greatly influenced by financial considerations due to Twitter's lack of profitability.
Yes.
But we used to be GAAP profitable. Only way we got into S&P500
so much for him being willing to lose money to 'preserve freespeech' contrast nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m 's much smaller but still great investments in nostr doing far more, if elon threw just 1 billion at nostr it would be dominating all social, elon or not nostr is still going to win
My fear was that nostr would require being a network engineer to use as been my experience with other open source projects. Thankfully that's not the case. Devs have gotten the message of the importance of ease of use. I find nostr as easy to use as twitter.

Not quite... but we are getting there.
How did you comment with a gif…? I do not seem to have that option.
I’m on Plebstr app and I have this GIF button here 🙂

Okay. I’m on Damus (on my iPad) and just have the first two buttons.. :-/
Get a #lightning address so you can start getting zapped
One of the things that make Twitter attractive for me is the fact that my feed contains tweets from people I don't follow (and I don't want to follow), but which very well match my interests.
It would be great if Nostr has that feature too.
Still feels a lot strange and technical to me. I’m not really a tech person although the field fascinates me.
agreed, it's pretty smooth
global state is an issue on most nostr apps
What you want is a super-organism, not a super-app. Nature shows this clearly.
That's why #nostr is so beautiful 🌱
It's an ecosystem of apps that expands every week via nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft 🫂😂
Still need a way to break the "Tyranny of the App Store" though.
Not really
Apple can only ban its user from nostr
And they can ban Apple froml their lives
(As a former Apple user now typing this on Graphene OS)
Respect.
wb ed 🤙
I think in a broader context you are still right though, google throttling anonymous accounts is inhibiting aurora store, and now using a VPN breaks it entirely. We need a trustable place for mirroring apks that can integrate with fdroid or obtanium, I think, as well as a volunteer army of people willing to keep it close to the google play store.
The day i get my friends on nostr, we will have broken through
PWA my friends… PWA
I really see the future there. I cannot imagine (theoretically yes but practically) Apple banning PWA
Isn't Apple required to open the possibility to sideload apps?
Also, there already is a way to circumnavigate iOS tyranny: Android.
googles a bit tyrannical themselves but yes android is much better
its called jailbreaking

What's the best resource to learn about Nostr and everything it can do?
Keypairs ain't rocket science but they are beyond a lot of bird app users
Not for long. People just need a great onboarding solution and a couple more niche micro celebrities to join
He is unable to do that bc a cloned mind is owned by someone else.
Is there a good directory of the apps? I’ve yet to see a decent one. Further, there is a big lack of quality desktop support. I do not use mobile and you can tell few have given much thought to web UI/UX.
Try plebstr. It's way cooler and user friendly than damus or any other app built on nostr so far. It has better UI and is easily navigatable. You'll thank me later. PS: it's available on Android and i think IOS too
I have something from the fediverse to add to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m 's post here:
nostr:note1hy7us6sr7ygzrgn973gc6xth3jdfhnanl0sew5k8v70r5f52qtss0pwcha
This positive attitude about building stuff is really great to see on Nostr and it does not exist on the fediverse at all. Since most ActivityPub implementations are heavy it's unreasonable to expect most users to self host. So people tend to gather into communities based on their chosen instance (think: website they are actually using). The different AP implementations really only work together in spite of each other, and there's endless drama about what your chosen AP software says about you, be you a contributor, administrator, or just a user.
For example, here's some hilarious beef I saw today between Mastodon instances. The instance mastodon.art is notorious for blocking an absurd number of instances, to the point where artists looking to get commissioned work should really not post there. They wrote this blog post about how they are defederating from another growing instance because they implemented text based search (for public posts) and a few other less important complaints:
https://dotart.blog/dotart-blog/defederating-from-universeodon
You heard that right. This is about the indexing of publicly available posts. As though it's some kind of terrible harassment tool. Remember that ActivityPub supports followers-only posts and follow approvals. Consider also this instance is for artists, who WANT to be found.
That's just drama between Mastodon instances. When it comes to the other implementations it gets even more insufferable. ActivityPub is a protocol like Nostr, but people building on Nostr actually like each other. Celebrate that.
It’s true, so many ppl on fedi are completely deranged and the censorship may be even worse than Twitter. Fedi also fails at decentralisation given how concentrated users are on the large instances.
Definitely a great app.
Just as people cannot understand freedom, they may understand this place later. or some may not understand at all. Or those who don't like freedom may not like this place either :)))
There is a lot of work to do here
At least the gui is terrible:)
