 Unpopular opinion: 

Nostr, at the moment, is the BIGGEST echo chamber with a SUPER niche user base on a platform that is so foreign to normies its chances for growth are about the same as 8 billion people using on chain bitcoin for basic everyday payments. 

The tech is hot. The UI is warm. The UX is ice cold.

Lot of work to be done.

 I think that is a very popular opinion 
 Let's swap timelines.  
 Agreed. Still I’d rather be here than flying a dedbird. 
 Dedbird is still the global town square. The network effect is as strong as fiat.  
 True probabaly. I think it will just evolve as it will over time. One thing I see is with so many apps it's hard to grow all of them with better UI. I find myself mostly comfy with everything now so don't notice it that much. Defs some qork to do though.  
 im back after a year or so because i am noticing twitter become quite hard toxic and upsetting — i think engagement bait style on purpose

there are some meaningful exchanges going on there but many are lost 

i need this place — the echo chamber is useful when the words being uttered are helpful powerful and true 
 The beauty of choice.
