I think #nostr will win out in the long run because of user fatigue. I am tired of trying out yet another platform (just tried out Bluesky again). I just want one app, or use apps defined by a community rather than have the community be defined by the platform provider.
I don’t want communities that are beholden to a platform provider.
It’s a long game, but it’s worth it.

Adding on to Will’s note - I see the three killer characteristics of #nostr
- note verifiability
- app interoperability
- payment addressability
All baked within an uncensorable protocol nostr:note1q05jrq42xha2w7knu68fkskcrzguk0wmplwncc77uhqrv5ejh9asu3arer
Sounds cooler than ‘homeless’
Yup. And I could actually understand the specs and implement.
We’ll ask the Nostr VP Marketing to set up a focus group.
I like centralized because it covers all the baddies - corporate, church and government.
It’s about building a better society, but I am pretty happy with the escape thing. It really hit me this summer when we went out west and toured some early railroad towns - same vibe - we are on a new frontier with new technologies building a new society.
I just built what I wanted on #Nostr.
I might not change the world, but I didn’t have to ask for permission to do what I wanted to do.
That’s what really counts for me.
#TakeBackControl
Yeah, this works. Kinda unintentional reaction to all the very tired sounding GDPR-speak - ‘give us your consent’
I’ll report this to the VP Marketing of Nostr.
The open internet was not designed for centralized control. Take back control with Nostr.
‘Nostr is a better internet.’
‘Nostr builds a better society.’
‘Nostr leads to a better you.’
Love it!
I’d adjust
A healthy ecosystem… = bitcoin + nostr of zaps + auth
‘A better internet is possible. An internet that builds on the free and open internet that we were promised, giving us fairness, integrity and a way to freely exchange value with each other.
‘Linux is everywhere, except on your desktop’. Great analogy. I’m gunning for the flippening of the financial infrastructure. Desktop can come later.

The way things are going- the ability to generate your own private key will be more critical than your right to a legal identity.
