 We got Nostr into mainstream media again! 🔥

Mastodon & Bluesky users are exploring Nostr for the first time ever thanks to Openvibe and how convenient it is to just add another protocol and discover interesting people there 😊

 Wow! Just hearing about this. Is Openvibe a fork of that other server that bridges all the networks or is it unique code from scratch? 
 Unique - we behave like a full Nostr, full Mastodon and full Bluesky client in one. We don’t use any bridges and so you can use your existing accounts, there is no mirroring, extra servers, opt-in needed to be able to follow people, etc 🙌 
 Will source code be available? I wouldn’t recommend anyone paste their private key into an app but especially don’t paste it into a closed source one… 
 the problem is that there are not interesting people on nostr 
 Excuse me? 
 sorry, there is one person 
 I agree with you, few and far between!  

(But mostly nice people except some major assholes!) 

It’s mostly Smart Geeks, Bitcoin Bros and leans heavily male!

What do you consider to be an interesting person? 
 Personally, the MOST *Interesting* person I find on nostr is a 🇨🇭SwissGirl who is VERY SMART & can fly a ✈️🚁 and knows like 4-5 languages. 

And she’s NEVER EVER showed her breasts or any pics of her barely wearing any clothes!

And owns her business and RESPECTED by men. She’s an Engineer. 

I doubt she’s friends with STUPID SHALLOW 🍈🍈👙💅🏼👠👠🛍️🛍️ 🎀girls either! 

And whether if it’s a guy or a girl, if the *ONLY* thing that they post about is about Bitcoin, I find them FKING *BORING* as a Creative/Artsy person and really NOT that into it! 

I am obvi SMART tho! 
 Who is she 
 She hasn’t posted in a while. @AK 👸🏻 
 Mastodon??  🤮 
 Really good news. Will tell as many as I can 
 Awesome! But please bring back Plebstr too.  
 Actually, how will this help bring users to Nostr? Your app just allows them to sign in all their accounts on one device 
 It exposes them to Nostr users.  
 I dig the app but it’s been super unstable on iTelephone in the last month. 
 Crashes within a few seconds every time on iPhone last few releases  
 need custom feeds badly, especially now with bsky 
 They are coming! 
 Just tried it, feels great! 
 We don’t want Nostr to be in the media

 Congratulations, developers are trying different ways to build.

 “The four-person team includes Svancer, two developers, and a designer. The pre-seed stage startup is backed by angel investors and New York accelerator Wolfthat Openvibe participated in last year.”
