Oddbean new post about login | logout Two things can simultaneously be true: 1) I want Nostr to succeed. 2) I don't love what it is today. Thankful for all those continuing to work on Nostr and the broader ecosystem 🫂 I only criticize out of love and to be sure that people understand that there are actually tradeoffs with Nostr! We need dissenting opinions on here.
If you use all caps you can be cool. The best way to help build this protocol is to bring your community, post everyday, zap and note.
The best criticism comes from within. Gotta take part in the journey so that anybody cares to listen.
yeah idk why people were angry about the privacy bit when literally a week ago a bot was on here doxxing people’s IP addresses left and right.
Eveyone loves a bit of drama I suppose.
it's about discrediting voices w large followings.. that new ppl get exposed most after joining there's some that may have been misled by ppl not understanding, perhaps but i dont remember 'nOstR mAxIs' claiming protected PRIVACY i do remember ppl explaining it OFFERS AT LEAST A WAY to get more privacy unlike twitter.
Love you too man.
So you are more NO than YES But you wish to imptove so you can be more YES than NO
What is it that you don't love? I find it hard to search for old notes and tag users in notes. I feel like I miss a lot of stuff because notes are boosted enough but at the same time, notes are often boosted in clusters close to the time of publishing rather than spread out. It's almost overwhelming all the different potential with all the clients. I have pretty much stuck with just amethyst for now so maybe there are solutions to my problems that just aren't available in amethyst.
Just don’t forget about us over here! Enjoy your stuff, but need some nostr airtime too!
What is your measurement of success for nostr?
Zaps are front and centre of every Nostr client, I think this focus is a a turnoff for the average normal person looking for a twitter alternative. Few people on earth care much for bitcoin , few understand it many actively distrust it . But worse still, almost nobody understands lightning (and lightning is even harder to use / understand than bitcoin). And who wants to switch to a platform they don't understand and lets be honest never will. Lightning is HARD!
