I've only been on Nostr for two days and I can already tell such a difference from other social platforms. People support each other here, they give to others. I'll never leave 😆

#nostr #kindness #support

Here's a #controversial opinion: #nostr is not the be-all, end-all when it comes to big tech replacements, nor should it be! When I first joined the nostr ecosystem, it was just a simple well-thought-out Twitter replacement. But developers seem so obsessed with creating "The next big thing! ™" that in the eight months that I've been here I've seen a Reddit clone get tacked on, a Wikipedia clone get tacked on, a Youtube replacement get tacked on, an Instagram replacement get tacked on, a Twitch replacement tacked on, a few attempts to tack on a Patreon-like replacement, a few more things being tacked on that I can't remember off the top of my head, and now I'm seeing people calling for WebMD-like thing to be tacked on. Not to mention all the NIP bloat needed to support this nonsense.

I look at my password manager and see roughly 30-35 accounts that I have used regularly in the last 6 months. Could all those be condensed into a single public key if everything was built on nostr? Absolutely! Do I want that? Abso-fucking-lutely not! That is 30-35 identities that are compartmentalized and segregated from each other. One does not consciously know about the other, so to speak. This is one thing ActivityPub services get right! While yes, a user is siloed into a single instance of a given service, different services are effectively segregated from each other by means of average user ability. The average Mastodon user isn't going to know that they can follow a Lemmy post or a PeerTube channel from Mastodon, let alone even know how to do that.

So I implore devs to take a step back, and instead of needlessly reinventing the wheel here on nostr, find an open-source project that already exists and does what you want and help improve it.

The #1 Android feature that I want to see on Nostr clients? Share to Nostr (Amethyst, Primal, Damus, Your_Client_Here) while browsing my Photos app or after taking a photo with my Camera app. Every other social experience has this.

Tables are the easiest data format, but they are also the wrong data format.

I Love Coconuts.

REALITY CHECK: I had the opportunity to meet some big creators the last days.

Been trying to nostrpill all of them.

There is an interest in having the community non ruggable.. but they don’t really worry about decentralization or being censored. Also they don’t care about zapping…

USABILITY and UX is THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR THEM!

I got some interest from the interoperability of different apps on the protocol - but it’s still hard to understand for them.

For most people #nostr doesn’t solve a problem yet. Which is fine.. I think it’s just an important reality check and it makes you realize how early everything on nostr is right now. Most here did their POW - and if you read this you’re an #nostrOG

I just realized how fkn exciting it is to be part of a new technology emerging. We all see the work we need to do but also have the grand vision - which no one knows how it’s going to play out.

THE WORLD NEEDS NOSTR IT JUST DOESNT REALIZE IT YET

Morning

I find it tedious to repost my own stuff, but most of my followers are 6+ hours behind me and my reposters.
