I spent a few days on each taking in the vibe.

X is nothing but vitriol and bots. Engagement is just how many people react to your notes. There actually isn't any conversation, just people talking at each other.

Bluesky is performance theatre. The people seem nice and polite but the notes are just virtue signalling to each other. No one is talking about their real life or anything beyond the superficial.

Nostr is a odd collection of Bitcoiners, techies, and misfits who hang out on the edges. There is actual conversation and exchanges of ideas. People talk about their day and aspirations.


I concur

I will say Bluesky has better onboarding with their "starter packs." Much easier to find good content if you follow a couple. Nostr often feels like a content desert, especially for new people


Even when your notes don’t get replies. It’s somehow more of a cozy feeling.

To add. Reddit is a leftardism cesspool.


Freedom promotes real conversion. We have no algos, bots, or mods looking over our shoulders. We're just humans being human.


I have perceived similar so this appeals to my confirmation bias 😅


Agreed. I still probably self censor due to the open and forever nature of Nostr but I feel way more open here than I ever did elsewhere.


I get inspired by X but have to stop the auto scrolling videos. BS is just that. Nostr is home.


Nice overview.  When I first joined nostr, I was still spending 90% of my time on twitter.  Since then I've watched the content grow and it feels closer to 50%/50%.  Also, my mind gravitates to nostr and I check it first.  Fun watching it grow!


Especially when Bitcoin is moving or an interesting guest is on one of my Bitcoin pods I'm drawn to nostr and stacker.news. X has been ok for wider world stuff like SpaceX and government efficiency.

I guess I win a prize for talking about my real life.  I just saddled another poor soul here with a small part of my life story.

I like Nostr, and I use it almost exclusively now.  Don’t forget to add paranoid people to your list of types who hang out here.  I’m certified paranoid.  When I went through my marriage annulment through the Catholic Church, they had me have a session with a psychologist who told me at the end that I’m paranoid.  Initially I was pissed about this assessment, but then I realized she was right.. I’m suspect of many people and organizations.  Now, I wear it like a badge of honor.  Being paranoid fits in well here and it fits in well with embracing Bitcoin.  Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.  😃


I am a misfit 🤝


bubble vibe checks are important until we all reunite. there is still a lot to learn from all sides.


I edge while I hang out


I DID A SIMILAR EXPERIMENT WITH TWITTER,  ONCE THE MURDER PORN STARTED SHOWING BACK UP I HAD TO BAIL. WTF?

Hihi.


Yes except I keep yelling into the ether and no one is answering on this.


Nostr = freaks exploring the "edges" of trend and reality. The edge is the tip of the spear. It is where change happens. It is the New Frontier. It is where outsized return occurs -- financially, intellectually, spiritually. I am humbled to be here, thankful for all of your gifts of thought, benefitting from all of your participation, while doing my best to pay it forward.

Nostr is the best!


Tell me more of what I want to hear.


That's the point... maybe stop yelling?  lol...  just imagine you are the first one to enter a stadium rock concert and there's hardly anyone else inside yet.  That is nostr
... we're not even close to the band taking the stage yet.  Enjoy the people watching!  Embrace the developing network effect.


The content will come... we are early.  Please help create it.
