Oddbean new post about login | logout You're just supposed to post stuff for your frens. Who cares about other "big accounts?" you're here. You have a core group of people that genuinely care about you. Does anything else really matter? 💚🫂
It's sad to watch, honestly.
Which part is sad?
"Nostr dev" complaining about reach and audience size, not understanding (or pretending not to) the nature of decentralized networks and their evolution and growth patterns.
Centralized or decentralized, the goal of a network is to reach people. That is the fundamental goal. If that is impaired, then there’s a fundamental problem and once again, the forest is missed for the trees.
nostr isn't a network. it's the definition of a protocol. you make the network. your friends make networks. communities make networks. even product teams make networks.
He's just here to trash me with some concern-trolling.
What is concern-trolling?
When you pretend to be sad, when you're actually just scornful.
You misunderstand my use of the word "sad" there. I meant it like "pathetic to see" as in, it makes ME sad to see it. I'm not concerned for you nor pretending to be.
As usual, your thoughts on this subject are systematically organized and rather extensive. I approach nostr from a very different perspective, so my expectations are framed in a manner that is completely different though in some ways complimentary.
Oh man I'm a dummy sorry. I was temporarily using voyage, which makes usernames a little harder to notice. I thought I was replying to this note: nostr:nevent1qqsvke7tnfsnrd807aj65sdy8evwrc3ym8mq5eu0yjlaq04qcqgskfcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygxwr0u6myskfhez0072k2qnry7xp66qy8f4ha9mh3h6ynzkp58naypsgqqqqqqsvd8zd4
And I thought "how could this guy have both of these thoughts at the same time?! This one here is the response to his other one!"
I'm glad I got to keep my consistency. Please let me know if you notice me failing on that. My plan is to always make it clear whenever I change my beliefs.
sarcasm is hard on the Internet.... is this sarcasm? I hope not?
