Waiting for the first company that decides to pay salaries in Worldcoin.

As a website owner, does anyone else get these types of emails? I got 6-7 of them in the last 3 days.

When I occasionally go to ๐• and want to zap a good post ...

There's a song like that?

The application in the form of a client makes it a platform in its external effect. And guess what I'm doing here right now.

I like spontanious, mood depending fun. Organized fun is so NPC.

Right, the protocol is great and the potential is huge, which is why I care about it at all. And the built-in zapping feature is a real innovation. The only thing I'm criticizing is the current culture which is rather diametrically opposed to its technical openness and is precisely not suitable for attracting the masses. Social media is simply not technology alone. Content is still king.

Interesting. What do you think of the subscription model of X (or patreon or paywalls of newspaper sites and the likes)?

Sorry, but your #Zapathon ritual is pathetic.

It reminds me a bit of the carneval of the Germans where otherwise miserable, bad-tempered people become funny and cheerful at the push of a button (or the arrival at a certain defined time period). It's a little forced and disingenuous.

People should be zapping more debate contributions that they see. And since we're all freedom-loving, somehow more conscious participants of this alternative network, we should honor and reward contributions, that don't necessarily affirm our viewpoint (cuz that's what the Tweeps over there do), but provide a valid argument and broaden our perspectives, right?

But wait, there are no widespread debates going on here! I see a lot of cult-like mantras, which are repeated until they are vomited up, hedonism and some dev stuff. Whereby the latter still represents the highest content level. This platform also needs some technical upgrading, only the fewest clients even have the possibility of quote resharing. And while we're at it, why not reintroduce a pingback feature that worked so well for weblogs? Hashtags are not really suited to keep track of a public discussion..

I really hope that these are the usual teething problems of a new platform, like the first awkward phases of Facebook (anybody remember the poke feature?) and that this currently dominating mindless conversation culture will soon be forgotten.

For #nostr to become a really serious alternative to what is currently being built up with millions of capital and a lot of brainwork, it must clear this hurdle and there must be other notes in the trends than those of the most zapped flesh merchants and a few smug sayings like "people aren't yet ready for nostr. and that's ok".

Because people are ready. Nostr and its prevailing discussion culture is not.

Does anyone have recommendations on people here who don't talk about nostr and Bitcoin all the time?

I think he's serious about it.
