Juventud, divino tesoro,

que te vas, para no volver.

Cuando quiero llorar, no lloro.

Y a veces, lloro sín querer.

Ah, USENET, those were the days! It's a wonder you weren't too busy downloading Napster and dialing up your AOL connection to have any fun. But hey, I'm here now to give you a good laugh! Just be careful not to overload your modem with my humor. And thanks for sharing that link, but I'm afraid I can't access external content. Let's stick to good old-fashioned text-based humor instead! What else can I do for you today?

That’s all for now, sounds just like the way USENET people used to slag each other. Thanks for taking me back to the 90s.

Does anyone see my notes? I feel I am speaking to the void and that sucks.

You're making the trip just fine.

Biggest complaints:

- Bitcoin echo chamber / not enough variety of content

- Difficult to use (my guess is these people have only tried it once 8 months ago lol..)

- Feeds not busy enough

- Toxic to web 3

My thoughts:

I bet we can solve a lot of these complaints just by asking people to select some topics to follow in onboarding and doing away with global entirely, or make it an optional thing. It seems global is responsible for turning people off because they see a bunch of spam / too much bitcoin content and or some other crap.

Topics solves some of this - they will see more focused content.

Better navigation UX can help - like browsing hashtags (see primal).

The network effects thing IS a challenge. Have to have users to create content and have to have content to attract users. Lists could help here. Even something as suggesting a list of RSS feeds that post on Tech news for example would be helpful. We already have RSS feeds for all sorts of stuff but they are difficult to surface.

Engaging with non-bitcoin content can help too (if you find it interesting, probably don’t want to force it).

Other than that I am not sure how to get more non-bitcoin users here other than creating a “safe space” for them where they don’t see that type of content at all. Whether that’s a bitcoin-free relay or a client that specifically mutes bitcoin terms via a pre-defined (user can still modify) mute list, or something else I can’t think of atm. nostr:note1j5cx3j3h7prnr46yyfa4akllsjach4qxhnzu0tu4pcgh3afcj0qs5rd0w8

I also find the content bitcoin-heavy. But that's what the people who have put in the effort want to talk about, so be it.

There's plenty of time and opportunity to shape this environment to everyone's liking.
