I have way more engagement here than i did in Birdsite. When i got my account back, i had 12k followers but i was screaming into the void.

Nostr's worst case is now being the next evolution of bitcoin talk for bitcoiners.

So much signal here, don't see it going back to Twitter

bitcoiners splintering off onto nostr only might not be best for bitcoin or nostr

all the zap spam is a bit annoying

These are the criticisms on bird app. Valid or paranoid?

Honest relay operators should at least provide a disclaimer as to how they will treat their users' data or whether they will use it for anything... there may be operators who collect sets of metrics associated with public keys and these are used for profiling and selling information.

What do you think?

#relays #privacy

event data is public and so cant be controlled

plausability and trust thru the amount of followers is failed.

zap me if you agree

its the connections that matter

PV ☀️ followers 🤙 zap features 🤙 relay count 🤙 FAQ 🤙 Iris usernames ☀️

What's your take on the follower count? Should we remove it entirely?

#[0]

Your follower count on Iris may seem lower than on other clients. Iris rejects events from authors that your social network has not interacted with. You get way less spam and your follower count number is lower for the same reason.

⚡️⚡️⚡️

Thanks for all the comments to our requests for feature ideas and best practises for zapping. You can still jump in and share your brilliant ideas and concerns.

#[1]

What's the proper amount of relays? Iris account runs well between 7-13 active relays.

Get your iris .to / username if you haven't already. The shorter names go first.

would be nice if we could just copy or use others follow lists

Sure, you can run your own Minecraft server and other stuff from your phone, but it is more of a gimmick. That being said, we came a long way, running your own bitcoin and Lighning node on a raspberry pi is relatively low cost, and it could also be a good way for Nostr to scale with everyone running own relay.

point is we have the hardware we just need to utilize it, running the server needs to be as easy as any app

I’m not arguing what is more free and open but what incentivizes people to use a platform. Zaps are a good start, but I think Nostr will grow in South America more before it conquers the world.

being an unstoppable social platform is a massive incentive, alternate socials may come and go but nostr can go on forever

I’m talking about 2016, community forked to hive in 2020, which is a good sign of decentralization.

but they cant interoperate like nostr can, steemit and hive are each silos

gnutella, bittorrent, ipfs, all those i would describe as web3 technologies. Nostr relays on other technologies (pun intended) for decentralized storage.

thats a better use of 'web3', reality is web3 is all bs shitcoinery

nostr lives up to the original web ideals, open access to information

All the things you named are ponds and nostr is the ocean.

nostr is like a river, no an ocean, no the solar system, no its a fucking new reality

There were many decentralized SM networks with monetary incentive i.e., steemit almost 7 years ago, with zaps Nostr is in a better position, but still nowhere near mainstream. Monetary incentive is not enough, you still need to use external platforms like twitch, youtube, instagram, TikTok, so engagement will stay on those platforms. Are there even any decentralized video platforms? I know of dlive, which is on the fringe. Scaling will always be a problem, so as long as we don’t have data-centers in our pockets, nothing will change.

my phone has the power of a data center from a while back

steemit was also forked because it was too centralized

steemit was not bitcoin, steemit was not nostr, nostr and bitcoin are far freeer and open than steemit
