We literally expose bot users on LI. 🤦

I want Nostr to succeed. I'm not slamming it to shit on it. I'm pointing out critical issues preventing its mainstream adaptation. To fix them. So it can adopt quicker!

Nostr has the nuts and bolts to do so. And still may eventually.

I'd much rather move to Nostr now, rather than risk bans on LI.

But I'm also not going to post into the void while the growing pains are worked out. Especially when devs show no intention of fixing them.

What client has push notifications?

Not in-app notifications. PUSH notifications.

Think it was just a glitch. But things got a little rowdy over there.

False. All real.

Laugh all you want. LinkedIn gets distribution.

Without distribution (an algo), you might as well be shadow-banned. Because the effect is the same.

Truth hurts.

And this attitude is why Nostr is still under 20k DAU's after 2yr+.

Until it perishes, Nostr will remain smaller than a Reddit Sub. The nuts and bolts exist here to be mainstream though.

Devs won't listen. So Nostr is only backup worthy until they do.

A social network only needs 2 functions:

-An Algo. (For Post distribution + Feed curation)

-Notifications.

Nostr has neither.

It doesn't need all this useless bullshit that Nostr devs seem distracted building. All while the 2 most critical functions remain unbuilt. So back to LI until devs wake up. Or get wiped out.

Only 3 months away from Nostr and I already got a possible LinkedIn ban. I still have access, but they may nuke me.

If they do. I'll be back here.

If not, on LI we stay. For now. (LI has been great other than this)

Drop any major Nostr developments I missed in the last 3 months.

Massive scoop. Thx.

I'm leaving Nostr indefinitely.

I joined because legacy social muzzled my voice via censorship.

However, the lack of post distribution on #Nostr is equally as muzzling. Defeating Nostr's entire value proposition.

The insufferable Bitcoin Worship and fake positivity here is the cherry on top.

While Nostr development is fast, it's highly misguided. Dev priorities are upside down. I don't see devs clueing in until enough people leave. And unfortunately I'm not in a place to build and fix it.

So back to LinkedIn I go.

Any market updates will be exclusively posted there.

#FuckNostr 🖕

Endorsement Lists are the solution to #Nostr Web Of Trust issues.

User 1 endorses User 2, bringing them into the WoT.

Only endorsed users are allowed to bring new users inside the WoT.

Here's the kicker, it's hierarchical.

If a bad actor sneaks into the WoT and brings a bunch of bots, any person above them can knock the whole branch off.

Not sure if this could be added to NIP 51, or if it needs a new NIP.

Peter Thiel has backed the Dope Olympics. No drug testing.

When sequel?

Taxes pay for services.

The first step to eliminating taxes is finding what services can be offloaded to the free market. Most can. Education, welfare, retirement, health, etc.

Reduce spending = reduced taxes.

Consumption taxes are only 1 method of taxation. A highly administrative and prying one too. There's better methods for what little taxation is still required.

This is how you do it. Small deliberate teams.

It's true. Blazing dev ecosystem here. Excited to try out Damus Android.

I just hope clients can monetize and sustain themselves. 🤞
