No but everyone on Nostr is my family. The take posted in the screenshot by Gigi is the mental attitude of a 6 year old child, extreme low IQ take or extrem high emotional take because of vested interests in what they believe to be a competitor to Bitcoin (there is none). Nostr doesn't need you but you need Nostr, what applies to Bitcoin applies mostly to Nostr as it is the social protocol on top of it. "I'm not going to use Email because Tomlinson just wrote some mundane stuff in his first ones rererere "

Hard time taking in most of that but mainly "Nostr doesn't need you but you need nostr" Pretty sure nostr is just code sitting without humans using it as humans make all the things they interact with, actually work as intended. A faucet, without a human letting water flow through it is just a pile of metal and plastic. Only has use and meaning because we as humans give it to the objective when interacting with it. Would be interesting to see what nostr would be without all of us....

No, you took this far out of how I mean it. It does not need YOU specifically, if all you do is complain about it's content. There are people who need it and want it. So there are two simple solutions i propose: - adopt a mindset with a little less ego and start asking why do people post so much on Bitcoin here. Maybe even propose the Idea to your mind that there might be something to learn. Something or some angle to view it that you have not seen yet. - post content which is not about Bitcoin, if it is valid content I will drop a like, 80% of the posts I like are not about Bitcoin When I wrote YOU above I don't mean you Nostronaut but a generaliziation of the critic mentioned in the screenshot. Complaining, crying is easy, creating and changing is hard.

Nostr 100% does not need me. This is proven fact. Tbh, I have no clue why or how I even have followers here.... I just be noting and zapping. 🤷 Solution 1 is a daily thing for me. Always learning and ask why to everything. Ego? More just curious about the world and I need to use ? more at the end of sentences. Any form of communication is not my strength. I definitely do solution 2 and post non bitcoin content. Complaining, crying, and playing the victim roll will always be the easy paths but I see this person as correct and of free will to make what ever choices they want. As a half breed, bit-normie, Nostr is labeled as "the bitcoin zone". Its like an episode of the twilight zone, but about a new currency called bitcoin and the evil government, for regular folks when they join... So from their shoes, i can see why they don't want what they build, to be attached to that kind of energy.

Yeah I can get behind that point of view, but let me assure you the third or fourth post of the person complaining about bitcoin will be a post about shitcoins, I've seen this before and I actually tried to post less about it for this exact reason you mentioned but in reality they just want you to bend the knee 9/10 times and that's why I tell them to kindly go fuck themselfs

yeah, this kind of factional nonsense is a recurring cycle in the lifetimes of protocols and platforms think of all the fights that go on between microsoft and apple fans since the beginning lol almost certainly there will be a shitcoiner "fork" of nostr but probably the gulf will not be very wide technically, just some small things that keep the networks apart i'm a bitcoin is money guy but i also know distributed systems theory and there is a place for pBFT in the nostr back end stack and that's what shitcoin nostr is probably gonna look like (in fact i'm probably building some part of it lol)
