I agree. But it's not just about posting comments. It's about general daily usage across a wide variety of services (which nostr does not have yet). There's a serious issue that nostr faces, and that's the lack of diversification among clients. Too many of these clients are focused on being the next twitter or something. That shouldn't be the primary focus of the protocol. Also, it's exactly as nostr:nprofile1qqsfeg9aw3g8gtt2yqcecr3af3nee8syd2wuwr5w74wzjp0zgpfrgzcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hsler5rm said: "The best thing about nostr is that it has probably made more people leave social media entirely". Honestly, I really do hope that this narrative spreads and helps people who suffer from social media addiction realize that its not as important as they believe. Nostr NEEDS to be the next internet. Not the next social media app🙄.
These two are right. We need to figure out ways to fix this. #nostr #bitcoin
I did a lot of research on yeasts and given that I want to try something unique, I wanted something that balances bitter and fruity flavors. Also, this is the perfect time of year to use a yeast that ferments relatively quickly at these temperatures.
Imagine you are heavily involved in a project; you believe so much in its goals and its value — you treat it like your baby! And then people come along, the users, who will give their feedback, whether constructive or not. It must be frustrating. To some degree, it may appear as a personal attack to you as the creator of the app. So I understand where this comment is coming from.
However, if you categorise people as "external," then what does that mean? If you say "petty bugs" because some users care about the "search" functionality, does that make their feedback less important?
We are the algo: this is one of Nostr's marketing pitches, and to be honest, it got me sold on joining Nostr. In the absence of algo like centralised social media, the ability to search is important to me and to some other users. Content searchability is important; speed is important, etc.
Of course, some users will have a myriad of lists of what they want, and I know some can be very silly. Nonetheless, they believe it is important. My point is that what is seemingly "petty bugs" to developers may be critical to users' experience.
I understand that some feedback is not constructive and you cannot act on it (e.g., insulting feedback like "Nostr is shite" — you cannot really act on this feedback!). However, comments like the thread below: are we endangering ourselves by creating division and antagonising those who provide feedback about Nostr?
Could we not weed out the constructive feedback, learn from it, and perhaps educate the users? If we say that Nostr is everyone's problem, then we have not listened intently because if you did, you would not say this comment. Why? There are people who truly care about Nostr but are completely lost as to where to give feedback, what is in the works, or what is a priority.
I have seen so many threads about Nostr's challenges. Yes, some of them are not constructive, but most are constructive. The question is: how do we know that those messages and feedback have been received, seen, or acted upon?
Maybe I am too much of a noob in this community because I do not know which ones are being prioritised or worked on. Education, communication, and orientation are critical. We all agree on this. But if we call feedback "petty" for what is seemingly important to other users, then we are alienating those prospective users and could deter them from giving valuable feedback.
I took my time out of my day to write this because I care, and honestly, to see this comment from nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9uq3xamnwvaz7tmhda6zuat50phjummwv5hsx7c9z9, as the so-called founding creator of Nostr, is very disappointing. If we want to grow Nostr, I would strongly recommend that we start listening and learning to identify helpful feedback that is actionable versus non-constructive.

Good! I'm glad more than just a few people have noticed this behavior among developers. If you want to make a high-quality product, user feedback should always remain a top priority.
I haven't observed enough of his posts to comment on that, tbh. Do you remember what the comment was or maybe which post it was?
I can go on some bitcoin rants if that will make you happier
Lol in other words you're not sitting at the top of the dev ivory tower? Which means your input means squat?
Well, screw them🤷♂️.

It's one of a very very few attempts at topic-follow rather than personality/npub follow. There was another WIP client which was heavily focused on forum-style, but forgotten the name.
Things like this could help attract and keep people.
Bitcoin posts and the general bitcointwitter chatroom posts wouldn't show up in unrelated topic forums, hopefully lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks. I followed him/her.
Most devs seem to have very different and very articulate visions for their clients and Nostr as a whole. They butt heads too often from what I've seen and many aren't very open or, in the worst of cases, completely closed off to user feedback.
I do the like the cooking community. I've actually been using a fair amount of the recipes that I've found from nostr:nprofile1qqsrrxknu7gxxnd7smc5mwwzn9djdm3uvg5tu40cn3x8l656esqa2zspzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0guyv64. Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsfhsknfhw6s0v59g0a6d48fple4tk8grdjf6newvkepcur6xwjjjqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejq6pne6f! I haven't focused as much as I'd like to on the gardening community. Thanks for the reminder!
Bitcoin lovers seem to resonate with nearly everyone on here. Though I do question their belief in the network, at times. Although, it does seem a bit more polarized when it comes to devs.
I've never used Twitter either. Unless, you include clicking on links from nkstr posts to be using it. Also, I think it's a matter of ignorance, as well. Heavy centralized social media users may take a trip to nostr only to subconsciously refuse to acknowledge the realization that they don't need social media to be as big a part of their everyday lives as they imagined. It's sad, tbh. Nostr needs to have an abundance of clients in all markets if it wants to succeed.
Something pretty experimental. But I didn't even start, yet. The past two weeks have been pretty busy. Luckily, I have decided what yeast I'm going with, though: SafBrew BR-8
That actually makes me want to try it even more😁. It'd make for a fun social experiment. But... I'd rather not deal with any unwanted drama.
Yea, I know the feeling. Wish I could disagree but nostr got boring fast for me, tbh. I see the potential it has. That's for sure. You're GitCitadel project is really interesting, btw.
I wonder how people would respond if I just posted "Can we please stop talking about Bitcoin? We're well aware of its existence."
Nice. Food is great! I wish I could say the same about the traffic lol.
