Oddbean new post about login | logout Nah, just delete whenever you care/need to, doesn't have to all be a business and push pressure on people to pay especially at this point in our growth (or lack thereof)
I believe that lack of long term support for relays is damaging Nostr more than helping. Relays that subsidize the network for free are just damaging growth opportunities. But the most important part is that users don't really expect their posts to be saved much more than 90 days. If that is the case, I do think we should meet users where they are at and simplify operations.
Doing more stupid things like that will hinder growth even more.
growth based on subsidized infrastructure is not growth.
False. How come Mastodon and the fediverse continues to grow and Nostr can't grow? Better design decision and User Experience
Go make a startup and spend all your investor's money in subsidizing the product to see what happens.
For some weird reason, Mastodon and the Fediverse continues to grow. New instances appear all the time without caring about money. Many do it for free! Amazing isn't it? No incentive whatsoever except to shitpost.
So, you like comunism. Fine. Do it for free.
I think thats growing based on name recognition, network effect and desire to get away from the big platforms. But when users realize that the operators of an instance can rug them, they'll be looking around for the next thing again.
OK, again....Mastodon and the Fediverse continue to grow in instances and users and provides a better user experience. What does Nostr have to offer? What good is owning your npub is everything sucks?
I'm here to see the cathedral get built and interact with the builders as they do it. Nsecs and relays seem like the much better approach compared to activitypub
You are right! If Nostr wants to kick ass, do Nsecs and relays but everything else like Mastodon/Pleroma Then, Nostr can be taken seriously . Alex Gleason is doing this now for Nostr with Ditto/Soapbox and it's beautiful.
How many users Mastadon has ?
It's probably difficult to count because of all the instance blocking going on but here are the numbers: 1 Million Daily Active Users https://mastodon-analytics.com/
We also can't keep saying we are too early. Been 3 years? https://s3.poster.place/poster-media/c37c67a8682501e16cbd8bf6e9b9a80da15734e62a8ac0d41b5c351aa86db368.png
i want to agree with you but the history of the internet disagrees
Only if you only count the successful stories. :)
