Uncomfortable Nostr Reality check:

I've tried to Nostr-pill all my YouTube friends (some of them have incredible amounts of subs), but none of them care about the censorship resistance or decentralization. Even though they know Nostr exists, they have no incentive yet to come here. Their audience would follow them anywhere, but they need the tools to create community communications.

It's a sad reality, but it all comes down to usability, UX, and ultimately the easiness of paying and signing up for the community. None of these can afford to have a sign-up problem or issues with someone being interested in joining the community/their platform. It needs to work flawlessly and feel and look professional. Some of them charge $3-5k a year just to get access to this closed space, and people are willing to pay for this.

Another big pain point is community management. All of these YouTubers create these platforms to help their audience have a safe place to communicate with each other and build their own tribe.

Nostr is capable of facilitating all of this - we're just not there yet. We need to somehow invest so much more into UX and design.

All of this will come when the time is due. So, knowing that all of this is possible and that ultimately, Nostr will be powering most of these via the social graph, is what makes me extremely bullish. But also, let's not get ahead of ourselves and expect them to come already.

The UX and features are not there yet for these people. I am more than happy to help anybody trying to make this a reality. I want nothing more than having these people join Nostr. But I also totally understand their pain points. So, if you're a dev or a company working on this, please feel free to reach out - I can tell you all the issues they told me. Or just tell me how to best do this; maybe I can jump on a podcast so the issues are open-sourced for the whole community to hear.

My question is... Do we realy want and need all that influencer stuff here? What problem do they solve? How are they contributing to society? How will we know, that they will not somehow cheat the network so they will get more engagement? Also serious questions.

With all the replyguys and ai impersonators, the 50000 weekly users is sand into the eyes. In the last month it all has become a mess to sift through and find out what is legitimate and what not.

Omg that is making it so not usefull and so not social. Everything is alghorhytms also here.

Have you heard of jupiter broadcast podcast like linux unplugged? I think you would like it.

For me, at random times when skipping back, instead of skipping back the set amount it skips somewhere to the very begining of an episode.

For me not. Because from all the options that i like, i am gonna stick to pocket casts and ditch boosts. Gonna find other ways to do them.

Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!

Why Nostr?

We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that's worth listening to.

When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.

But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn't have any followers so your posts wouldn't get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.

Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:

- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain

- Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients

- Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed

- Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps

People here are just throwing up words like socialism and communism.

β€œIt is a mental illness" what does this even mean, what does it teach?

Socialism in its essence is having some good ideas and concepts even for the time we live in. Blaming every bad thing on it that happens in this world just isnt the right stance.

We simply need to acknowledge, that the systems that we have learned have pros and cons. And that we need critical thinking to put the good ideas into new systems and learn from bad ideas.

Simply stating that socialism is a mental illness does nothing for humanity. It merely triggers hate, it provides no solution.
