people need to feel like they are missing out on an experience, that they need to join or be left behind. think when fb first came out and ur friends were signing up with their . edu email accounts to write on each others walls, or like for me when twitch came out and i had friends that were enjoying watching streamers and i didnt know what they were talking about, so i joined in on a fun live stream for the first time.

i dont think nostr really has that experience yet where it becomes kinda like a blackhole. so far its just emulated existing things like twitter, pinterest, blogs, live streaming. and i have no idea what that will be, whether its something totally new or a unique interoperable combination of things( id wager on the latter).

i struggle with this too. ive settled on not recommending, tried for a while. and i dont think its nostr's fault! i fucking love this zany, punk space where i can create my unique experience. i think its more that my friends and family are so not ready for the experience of 'driving the car' when its been on autopilot for so long ( unknown to them perhaps), less worried about the content ( there is so much terrible shit you get exposed to on twitter, fb, insta...not better imo but just my ecperience) but that they just cant handle the responsibility involved. most people dont want that imo...which i dont blame them for..i have lots of spaces in my life i have abdicated some responsibility. it just so happens i nerd out hard on this stuff and like the project and ethics behind nostr so it keeps me going to learn, try stuff, make it better. Itll be here when theyre ready 🙂

its been a dimilarity ive been thinking about lately. different means to the same end, neither involving proliferation of freedom but just self serving interests regardless of the cost to others

many times feels like btc maxis are actually just a bunch of commies that want everyone on earth to add their wealth to their bags and use it in the exact way they believe in so that they get all the value from its monetization and by being Kings get the world they want.

its fucking stupid

are push notifications a shitcoin? either use big brother push or some other server via universal push? anyone can speak to the difficulty of self hosting a push notification server, and is it still bullshit? i have no server admin experience
