Brazilian guy complaining that Nostr is monothematic and that he doesn't get many followers in comparison with his other social networks:

Although I disagree with his tone and his expectations, I agree that Nostr being monothematic is a very bad thing. I'm hopeful it will improve over time and there are some initiatives pushing us for that, but still it is undeniably a bad thing and probably the first reason why we're losing to Bluesky in number of users.

Another bad thing are these follower counts. These counts should have never been a real thing, they are misleading and just confuse people, but what can I do about them?

What topical relays are there running now? I know this is an idea that’s been floating around for a while. But has anybody setup and run a topical relay? Any ones running which I could look at to see how it’s working?

zapped hard!!! 😅

I am giving #zaps ⚡️ to everyone.

I finally understand what #zap is about. its about receiving them and giving back to community(IMO).

So i am giving all my #zaps away. Any random amount till i have zero Sats left in my account. All to know the community better and meet more people than on my feed

Rules are simple:

- Say Hello

- Follow

- Repost

and i will zap you.

You can also zap me. No shyness. :)

I have a friend, she is a travel blogger with account at all platform.

The most annoying thing is, she also has all accounts at the Chinese mirror app, like instagram but you can use in inside of China

She said it’s her small effort of anti-centralisation of big platform that control what people can read

We have a big potential users after everything is built.

Data has been "the new oil" for large tech companies for a while. They're getting rich building massive data models on using data that people freely provide to them in exchange for their services. Open protocols allow users to take back control and puts users in charge of their data. Nostr allows us to all be in charge of our own social graph. This is why I'm so bullish on Nostr. It's game changing.

The most important thing here is algorithm choice. Open sourcing an algo isn’t enough. Ideal is people can make and choose whatever algorithm suits them.
