Oddbean new post about login | logout Main issues are: - Discoverability is generally wretched - Many clients, all incomplete - Many conflicting standards and approaches - High data usage - Serious spam issues - Little variety in content - Low reach comparatively - Almost complete echo chamber, few dissenting opinions
Can you give some examples of what's incomplete in clients? Have you tried #Snort? What's missing? I don't see any "serious spam issue" on #Nostr. Twitter on the other hand, is non-stop bots commenting on every post, non-stop spamming your DMs, and non-stop tagging notifications from scammers. Rest of the issues you mentioned are valid tho.
I can agree on the difference in spam... Not to mention every other tweet seems like an add now. Maybe the experience is better if you kyc and pay. However here, I get almost zero spam, no adds, and much better engagement. Not to mention, I get mad props with zaps. @Seth For Privacy your overall mission sounds different than mine, trying to find those who seek better privacy and lead the way. I'm trying to find all the Bitcoiners and create a unified and resilient culture around Bitcoin. Nostr is definitely the place to be investing time in building cultural capital because it is free and open. A true commons for free exchange of information.
Notifications for blocked users posts still appear.
Depends on the client you're using. For example, on #Snort, blocking a user will stop his notifications, while on #noStrudel you must use the mute option (it's unclear to me why we have both "blocking" and "mute" features and not just one).
Stop à la critique déjà la critique de X, Threads, Bluesky ... pour introductions sur nostr.. observez dans l'ombre , analysez, faites votre propre opinion, osez la critique, passez si certains sujets ne sont votre came.. évitez l'effet tendancieux de vouloir être comme les autres.. Soyez vous même, protégez son territoire privé.. C'est le gars qui était fait son immersion de manière anonyme, qui a fait juste son feedback en donnant certains faits critiques sur nostr.. Pourtant la plupart des retours des adeptes furent négatifs hors ce ne sont des faits.. Sur nostr d'ailleurs nul besoin d'avoir un npup pour intégrer l'écosystème, l'analyser, participer.. '
Oui et la publicité déguisée via les boodts.. Les aléas addictifs du Zap... pour avoir beaucoup d'abonnés quite à emettre des notes sur des sujets relatifs imaginaires, ridicules portant sur l'en-soi qui ne remportent rien en termes de qualité, l'usage de certains 'émojis communs...
I've never been banned or suspended from Nostr.... I can't say the same thing for Twitter, so it's a pretty clear choice for me.
This list just makes me feel tired. I don't think this qualifies as a dissenting opinion, it's just a list of what needs to be improved on nostr. Most/all devs are aware of these issues, and lots is in progress on all fronts. Except for reach, reach is fantastic. It may be lower for you because you have a big audience on Twitter, but normal people actually get some engagement here rather than it being vacuumed up by farmers.
