nostr will have the best tech and the most devs, people won’t be able to ignore that for long. other clients on other protocols will run into heavy handed moderation issues due to centralization of power, government pressure, and lack of user keys. This is the main risk I see for mastodon, bluesky and big tech, regardless of current user numbers.

As long as people care about freedom and building a sovereign presence in cyberspace, nostr is inevitable.

It’s possible most people don’t actually care about these things, but at least we’ll have the best solution for people who do. Those people are the coolest to hang out with anyways.

Freedom or Nothing!!!!


let's go it will be the best and awesome

the fact that so many people are fine with that is still an open anthropological and psychological question I have yet to understand.


do you have a mental model of how to do we deal with reply spam and targeted harassment from evil people?

People turn on autopilot for things that don’t immediately affect their livelihood. Easier to follow the herd without thinking. “Oh it’s decentralized? Awesome!”


Fuckin’ A

Fuckin’ A


ah right… I am blessed (cursed?) with the knowledge about how all this works at every layer of the stack, and think deeply about how implementations of these protocols lead to different outcomes. I see nostr as the outcome that leads to the most freedom for individuals, perhaps thats why its clearer to me as to why this is the proper solution. education is the key i guess.

It blows my mind the degree to which people don't care about those things. There's a certain crowd that wants heavy-handed moderation and always will. Fine.

There's also a lot of people that claim they want freedom, and then can't even be bothered to crosspost. Liberty twitter sleeping on nostr is insane.


Some see it as a blessing, others as a curse.

100%

Obviously want it to grow but it’s home regardless.

This protocol + your client has led to meeting some truly wonderful people and experiences.

To nostr endless growth 🤙


I predict most users of NOSTR won’t even know they are using it in the future. It will just be the protocol that underpins their favorite app.

Bluesky is gay


Yup, I say it when it comes up, corporate, centralized tools inevitably die, they have quarterly goals and on boarding metrics and all that they have to give to investors. Something like Nostr (or bitcoin or anything open source and decentralized really) can continue on indefinitely with 2 users. They'll stick around as long as someone spmewhere needs them, and if not that many people do, fine, but if the time comes when many do, they're there. They only die when they become useless, success metrics have very little bearing.


you nailed it!


Just be ready for the censors to eventually arrive... they will show up and point out all the "hate speech" that needs to be eliminated.  Fuck 'em.  FREEDOM... OF SPEECH.  LFG!

Nostr, an eternal joke. Keys with no possibility of rotation in case of compromise. Zero usability. Zero inclusion. Only fascist users, hostile to the LGBTQ+ community and progressives in general.

Decentralization is important, but it is not everything. 🤣


And that's great! Diversity is always welcome!


nostr’s main strength is simplicity and decentralization, anyone can use it, they just need to choose to. A protocol is not political.

I am not technical enough to comment about key rotation.

But only fascist users, hostile to LGBTQ+ and progressives - I am not so sure this is completely true.
Like all social media, what you see is influenced by who you follow. But it's an open protocol and you are welcome to be the change you wish to see and bring more of progressive friends if you so wish to. No one can dictate how you do Nostr - do it your way 👍


That's not true. I saw your note being hostile towards LGBT people. On Bluesky I feel welcome, not here. Decentralization is not everything! Besides, what's the point of decentralization if there's no usability? To post a simple image, for example, you first need to host it on a server lol

Ask a regular user if they really think Nostr is simple?

Would your grandparents be able to use Nostr today? Be honest? Because my grandparents just created accounts on Bluesky. ;-)

lol stop being a chicken shit and block / moderate (w/ your own) account (isnt that what yall always do on other protocols) too weak to be hostile back to the haters?. bring your community here and post anything you like, youll never be banned unlike on bsky


should probably avoid using the English language then too. That protocol has all kinds of racist and +-phobic words in it.


i won't get banned, but I get threatened by haters every day here, unlike bluesky.

"Block" does not exist in Nostr. There is no interoperability 100% between clients lol


crawl back to bluesky


As a newbie, I agree that nostr isn't something that is user friendly at this point, but on the other hand, decentralization is giving everyone equal right to use their voice however they want to.
If protocol is decentrilized, it doesn't mean that every user will have the same lifestyle, opinion and preferences.


#Nostr and #Bitcoin are inevitable..

YES BRO ⚡ MUCH LOVE ⚡


Exactly.

And the thing is, people are looking for echo chambers when what they should be looking for is civil discourse. In other words, learning how to deal with people that have opposing views.

Twitter right now is for right wing in general
Bluesky becomes left-wing in general (I know these are very hard to define things, I'm just giving a rough perspective)

Nostr ideally becomes a mix of everyone.

For example myself I'm post left-right, I believe in the Swiss model of referendums, i.e the best tool for the job AND still having principles/morals of course.

Nostr will elevate every single individual, instead of dividing them in groups.


You're not going to banned here, so you'll have time to find the middle ground. That's what really really matters.

I think that we'll all get that having time and a place to find the middle ground is the most important thing, not having everyone think the same.

There's always a middle ground. :)


Agreed. Reddit will just adopt Nostr. That would be incredible. :)


Call me weird but I actually like nostr already and I'm not holding my breath for it to change into something else 🤷


“Build it and they will come.”

It’s nice to see the demand is there.. https://i.nostr.build/0VJn5PGuJATOztL8.jpg


Thing is most people run everything through a subconscious "How does this affect my food supply?" filter. Someone in 1950s America might be mortified if a nude photo of them was passed around the office, whereas someone from some remote tribe somewhere would have no issue with everyone in their world having seen them naked. Why is one mortified and one not? Because to be exposed in the first instance is to be socially looked down upon, and our brands are hard-wired to interpret being socially looked down upon as a risk of diminished food supply (red alert). Other words, all comes down to food.


sorry to hear that ser, good luck at bsky


You're more than welcome on my side and I'm 100% sure by the majority of Nostr users.

I think it's fundamental to have a diversity of opinions and I personally don't like to spend time in echo chambers.

So yeah, keep posting. You're valuable and listened! Bring your friends too.

To be honest, I don’t think most people care about freedom, moderation issues, privacy, etc. Maybe one day there will be a tipping point, but most normies are still happily using Gmail, Chrome, Tik Tok, etc.


I mean…it will still be Reddit so incredible might be a bit of a strong word. 🤣 but yes Nostr would make it better.
