No one!? Garbage premise. Disregarded for fallacious logic and poor articulation.

Nostr, much like Bitcoin, is more about censorship resistance than privacy.

I’m refuting your claim that it will die out completely.

But if you want to move the goal post, Nostr has been by far the most useful social network that I’ve been a part of due to its unique benefits (lightning payments) and culture.

I disagree. Twitter's algo just favors drama, insults, attacks between different groups so that's what you see.

On nostr, you see what you follow. This is like complaining your RSS feed is an echo chamber since it's all about the same topics you yourself picked.

You could instead just follow and engage with contrarians within nostr. No one is forcing you to follow the top accounts. That's a big difference with respect to twitter.

Here’s what you’re missing: there are people who are crazy enough to never go back to using a company controlled social media platform. There will always be shit posters of last resort.

I’m 100% certain that if it dies out, it won’t be because people trust Twitter again. Either something significantly better will be created, or Nostr will continue to succeed for people who understand its value.

Hilarious that no one on Nostr seems to know that pseudonymity != privacy and yet try to use Nostr being "private" to dunk on anyone who still uses other social media.

You're not going to want to hear this, but Nostr is VERY BAD for privacy, but great for pseudonymity.

For most people, Nostr directly ties their HOME IP ADDRESS to their nym and publishes this correlation to a dozen servers they don't control for all to see.

While being pseudonymous is pretty easy on Nostr, being private requires a good, always-on non-logging VPN, or even better connecting to relays only through Tor at a bare minimum.

I agree with most of your criticisms, but I think that things can improve. A big part of why I'm here is because my experience with twitter is getting worse.

This is true of all social media. There are servers, be they centralized, federated or siloed, or p2p and those servers see the source IP.

The difference is that my Nostr client has built in support for Tor while my Mastodon clients don't, and my Twitter client didn't.

So it seems the Nostr clients that have thus built in are a step up from all the rest in terms of privacy.

Or, use a blaster relay located in iceland you bought with monero after whirlpooling bitcoin. Then the other relays should only see that blaster's IP, no?

Came back to farm engagement?

Sad to see you post this lame and dishonest take Seth. You have a lot of great content but saying that ALL nostr users think nostr is "private" is just simply not true. You're correct on pseudonymity != privacy but this is post is just a classic attention-seeking Twitter post. You're better than this.

It would be an honest discussion if you had started it on nostr. By engaging on twitter, you've pretty much picked your audience and its replies.

If you seek the truth, you need to confront people head on, not cowarding out in a closed platform.

You had an opinion. Odell statet a fact. You pay for your blue check and gave X your identity and get less engagement than Odell here on Nostr.

Sounds like a you problem 😉

My bad, I didn't read your full note

What makes you so bearish on nostr?
