NOSTR NATURALLY DETERS LOW INTEGRITY PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY RELY ON THE ABILITY TO BLOCK CRITICS, RESTRICT REPLIES, AND DELETE POSTS.
and they can't rely on the algo to gamify their reach
YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOUR PAST SHIT ON #NOSTR..
nostr is good because you can choose your client and clients have a wide variety of philosophies it will never change from this, because a client can run on your pc
are you saying you have more capabilities with different clients and when run on PC?
yes, mobile apps are not as good
hmmm, ok. I do see there's definitely differences in functionality. But I could not make a post with two different browsers. The "post" button doesn't work.
if post button is not enabled you haven't logged in with an nsec
hmmm, nope I should be logged in. I see my profile pic and attempting to post as my profile. but I will double check. someone suggested I use chrome which I uninstalled some time ago. really don't like that browser.
oh, also, don't use chrome, use brave if you are going with the chrome-based type i find firefox to be very annoying in many ways, the most irritating one is its DRM nag when you disable the widevine DRM and then someone posts like, spotify on nostr and it pops up and chews a whole line of the top of the window nagging you to enable this piratical DRM shit (because it takes over control of part of your computer) the main problem was it wasn't letting me screenshot my browser!
also, part of the problem is that desktop apps have bigger screens so they can show more information condensing the information down is not easy to get right it's one of the most infuriating things about the Apple mindset that they can simplify everything and not lose utility
Exactly ...haven't seen many shitcoiners so far!
YES
Agreed, but we still need to improve user friendliness, adoption is at stand-still: https://m.primal.net/HWst.png https://stats.nostr.band/
adoption is not about clients at this stage. That idea is a myth.
Finding people when starting is too hard imo. Adding relays is confusing too
Ive been using “the alternative” for over a decade. migration is rarely about the client. almost always about either a reactionary event, or viral novelty. nostr now enters the post honeymoon period. the long dark night of the soul. now we find out who is here for shallow reasons and who isnt.
You exactly describe Elon.
Many people enjoy feeding off of hate and negative energy.. we have almost none of that here.
AND THEY'RE LAZY. POW IS A GREAT SOCIAL LAYER FILTERING MECHANISM. WE SHOULD CONTEMPLATE HOW EASY WE REALLY WANT NOSTR TO GET. nostr:nevent1qqsz2vl3g38znypqtwa8cmqwylm30m40t7nzq2xyqgcckrawp64kjyspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgq3qqny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysxpqqqqqqzhutx06

Nostr is a pseudo Proof-of-Work protocol and turns many people off.
I'm starting to notice this.
Your post is causing quite a stir. Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed
Nostr will do to communication what bitcoin will do to finance.
Nah is the same here in nostr the difference always gonna be algos 🤣 nostr:nevent1qqsz2vl3g38znypqtwa8cmqwylm30m40t7nzq2xyqgcckrawp64kjyspr9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuargv4ekzmt9vdshgtnfdupzqpxfzhdwlm3cx9l6wdzyft8w8y9gy607tqgtyfq7tekaxs7lhmxfqvzqqqqqqyfn35s3
Word
I would not necessarily agree with that statement. Personally, I would LOVE the ability to BLOCK people and would definitely fking BLOCK the Shallow Attention Whore RUDE Bitch responsible for my getting attacked for hours months ago. Bitch and those who attacked me will NEVER EVER have anything to do with me again in the future nor be invited to any soirees or events! Nostr is NOT intuitive and difficult for the average person to figure it out to use, esp if not a Coder or a 💻 Geek. So it’s NOT accessible for a main stream audience and that’s why it’s a better group of people who use it now. Main stream audience = ALWAYS ⬆️⬆️⬆️ of low integrity and jerks.
And can only thrive on high reactions. I was listening to a series of videos about some beef in the german youtube space and the amount of problems they have because of the platforms in use alone was actually insane. xD
Nostr makes you think really hard before noting anything, but at the same time encourages you to note as often and freely as you want as well. It's kind of a weird mixture that actually works! And it's also a huge barrier of entry for those with low integrity.🫂
Brilliant observation.
After thinking about this for a long while, not really. The only reason nostr doesn’t have (many) “low integrity” people is because there aren’t many people on it at all. I’ll bet all the sats in my wallet that if nostr had as large of an active userbase as Tw*tter/X, it would look something like Tw*tter. Pretending that technological implementations would magically turn dickheads into better human beings is wishful thinking. The SJW keyboard warriors are still going to SJW. The incels, neo-nazis, and white supremacists are still going to be pieces of shit, regardless of whether or not they can block people or delete posts. The fundamental reason some people behave the way they do on social media is because it’s an anonymous medium of interaction. There’s no face-to-face aspect of socializing, thereby dehumanizing the person on the other end to a degree. No “features” are going to fix that.
Aaand this is why all the good ones are here... 🙌
Another thing I like about Nostr is that it's also easy to spot shallow social climbers on here. Nostr doesn't fix this, but it's easy to spot, and it's rather rampant
On coracle muting becomes blocking, because of the algo, those who are muted become blocked from everyone using the client. Its worse than individualk blocking. Not least because mute can be useful for reasons other than disliking comments.
Haha Matt, if you really feel that way, I'll oblige your test and reply to every one of your posts until you finally address Whirlpool's vulnerabilities to Sybil attacks, and how Whirlpool's tx0 needlessly wastes block space while damaging the privacy of coinjoin participants: nostr:nevent1qqsxs2suyds3uagurs6y537syplpq97ltk58dcx9x6tdscll26cdkaqpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzqzuaulz7stfxc2zkjzsne5tyzjd95rhrzvdejyhpczand3ntgudtqvzqqqqqqydpqr0t
WE HAD THE CONVERSATION. PEOPLE CAN READ IT NOW AND MAKE THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS. TXO IS NOT A WASTE. I ALSO HAD A THREE HOUR CONVERSATION WITH THE FOUNDER OF WASABI. UNEDITED. LIVE. https://www.podpage.com/citadeldispatch/citadel-dispatch-e015-bitcoin/
"Tx0 is not a waste" PLEASE JUST LOOK AT THE CHART, YOU LOSE POTENTIAL ANONSET GAINS AND CONSUME MORE BLOCK SPACE BY PREMIXING: https://image.nostr.build/14026e01cbbd0981d24e2b4866265f026b92bc584d9e2dc16acf1d641a4b69ef.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1544x1491&blurhash=%7C8SF%40R%25M%7EqMy%25hgLogt8wgtRM_D%25xvR%24xv-qV%40oNxbbakCoLR*aejZWUj%5Bxuj%5D%25MWURQWANFoMW-%3FcMxIU%25gNFWExuRjRkM%7BX7xbnQR%2BbEWBX7spf%2CxakBIonjazWBxHNssEt7kCRPtQV%5BM%7BxuRjIUof%25LRkV%40oeWCWAog&x=3226e49be19cf5640fddfd6ca3bccf5b980d5202c66abdcbe16ee69572319df1
MANY CONVERSATIONS ON #BITCOIN PRIVACY WERE HAD. nostr:note1gnxjldxdp6pr2ztgptzssg9q7m5xp7wyq0mvn563nemhwzf406vsljundf
I'd love to have a proper conversation with you about all of this, when do you have time?
