Running Nostr

The division on fedi and the fediblock wall are both bad things imo.

I bet that’ll be fixed eventually.

The twitter refugees that went to mastodon and gave up likely never even tried soapbox or the good mobile apps. Search Engine Optimization for the fedi has been fucked since the media blitz of 2017. Also the walled garden instances joinmastodon.com funneled them into probably didnt tell them about soapbox on purpose.

Also, a lot of the people here came from twitter and in many ways nostr is more similar to it than the fedi is. We can't really compare instances to relays because there's no real loyalty to them here. People publish to as many as they know about and (hopefully) pull down posts from just a few. Whereas on fedi people identify with their instance and the instances close to them and communities form. Communities on Nostr are more like twitter. Just like minded posters in a giant public pool with no clear boundary. I'm not sure nostr will ever replicate what the fedi has, and I think thats ok

Who runs that though?

Not spam. The glory days.

We need to honor the legend that was #nostrafterdark

Let choose a day / time zone this week and make it weird 👀

Depends on the client, some of them use nostr.build

Well I haven't tried this alternative you speak of. The zaps here are so easy as to be spontaneous, a seamless part of conversation, like the "like" buttons became in normie social media, except it does carry a small sacrifice and thus a signal.

But hey I'm open to try new stuff. That's how I got here!

many clients already do this like snort.social, coracle, iris.to

Yes, are you the same

What I saw in the global was not from real people

Because the most matured clients for the most part are there (at least damus). They are also native apps so they are much faster than any web client.

I haven't used it. Why is it better? Does it have zaps or equivalent? Seems to me this is the game changer, as it allows value4value and thus clearly differentiates signal from noise. The immutability is great too. To you, what is Mastodon's advantage?

Are most of the things you paint from robots？？

agree. it's not perfect. most clients are 2 months old 🤣

Which city are you in?
