 It wasn't that long ago when you could only imagine a replacement or improvement, the next new thing the '____-killer'. Now it feels like it'll all just go away due to indifference and lack of interest.

 Teenagers are all on Discord and WhatsApp and stuff. Mostly talking to people they know IRL.

 Private groups, a lot of them facilitating offline life, or resources for research. Social media might be a goner, and I'm not sure anyone will miss it

 I'm already in three SimpleX groups, two Telegram groups, and a Slack group. All about Nostr.

Half the people you think left Nostr are chatting with the people they met on Nostr, right off of the outskirts of Nostr.

 All of the anti-censorship Nazis are killing the development momentum because the OtherStuff apps don't work well unless you curate the feed, by default.

Otherwise you go to the code development app and see a bunch of stuff that isn't about code development. You go to the sports app and see parenting stuff. Etc.

 We want to switch to that from Slack, but it doesn't have the features we need, yet. But we're going to put those features in GitRepublic.
