Honestly the UI is pretty ugly if you ask me. I would prefer the golang old reddit style over the php front end. But I support you and everyone who wants to use it.

You ask what is the largest post that can be made on nostr?

The protocol does not specify a size limit but relays do. My relay does. I limit it with

if len(jsonb) > 10000 {

return false

}

So no more than 10000 characters.

I disagree with your sentiment. You never really talked about the solutions Nostr really solves. And that is decentralized identities and a very easy protocol to program against. And how decentralized identities has the potential to fix a lot of censorship problems. Peer to peer can still be facilitated over nostr. And nostr was really created in response to scuttlebutt not working well. The problem with peer to peer is discovery and you can use nostr as a intermediate to help with that. For example, you can create a ip tag and you post your current ip address to all your relays so people who are tormenting your latest data know where to look for your current position by scanning popular relays for your new ip. Essentially using the nostr network to further decentralize. And because it's so easy to program Against the nostr protocol we are seeing very rapid development. It took much longer for the fediverse to get where nostr is now.

We just need better topic specific UI's for folks like you and me. Yes there will always be a few popular relays and very few people using smaller relays but unlike the fediverse large relays will not crush small relays. Lemmy world basically runs on like 1,000$ per month hardware. So if it's federating with 40$ per month hardware it can bring down that 40$ per month instance. So it will be easier for people tired with large relays to branch off and slowly grow.

As far as free speech goes, i'm not super interested in forcing people to read others saying nigger, faggot, "insert jew joke". (I stand with Israel, blm, don't cancel me) People want networks that censor the way they like. Some people like the chaos, other's like safe spaces. I like that nostr makes it easy to switch without changing your identity.

All that said, it's early days so a year or two and we should see what has became of it and if anything better comes out. For a programmer it's really fun to program against nostr btw.

I would say, trolling Nazis on gab is as fun as trolling libtards on Lemmy.

If you are bored just go to gab, search up Laura Loomers profile (she's a Jew) go to the comments and find a Nazi. Not hard. Most of them are calling her a kike Troon and have hitler stuff in their profile . Reply with something like "Jews own white people. We own the banks. You will do what we say." then like ten racist comments from nazitards will begin to flood.

Repeat.

What's the best way to make the most out of your shitty personality?

I'm old enough to have visited the two Towers. I was just a kid. But I got to look down from the top. My dad took me and my brother out of our small southern town his family had migrated to as a youth, drove 14 hours in a single day so we could see the big city he knew as a child. For him it was like showing his kids another world, another country. Man the world was so different back then. I legit bought my first pair of nunchucks there. Still have them and take my kids on a walk holding them.
