It's actually quite telling if how boring bitcointwitter culture is that people choose to some degree of censorship rather than use a bitcointwitter clone. Lol
I don't mean 'boring' in a wider sense, that would be tolerable. I mean the very specific monotony and unfunnines of bitcointwitter. Yes the swapping a d repetition of slogans the infographics disguised (badly) as bad "memes" etc
There's lots of non-blue checkers who continue to use twitter, even unmonetised too. Cos their interest(s) are there. There are plenty of niche and not so niche clusters of subgenres and activity around interests to be found on twitter which has little or no representation here.
But yeah also people don't want to start over. Like larger accounts who have a follower count larger than the entire network here. And what they post about may also not even have an audience on nostr in any significant amount to feel like a community or otherwise meaningful. Not that they wouldn't be welcomed..but more like they would feel like they're not getting any engagement on the topics they care about.
I mean just grabbing an example from your bio. You're not really gonna find much pro-wrestlimg content or lively discussions here. But you will find that aplenty on twitter. You'll even get specific Japanese pro wrestling enthusiasts, conversations and content there. But barely exists here (afaik)
If the only thing you know is bitcointwitter, nostr is fine, you have all the slogans and "memes" here. Maybe even Meshtastic, Christian community too. Beyond that you'll struggle to find engagement really..... For now. Who knows
I had this problem too. It's on the left menu at the bottom, some sort of weird icon there. Can't remember what someone told me and I'm not computer atm:(
It's not that people 'aren't ready for nostr' it's that they find the sloganeering boring. The trade off (atm) is boring bitcointwitter clone Vs censorship.
I think I would have to disagree. Th bitcointwitter lameness here is somewhat less than on bitcointwitter, but at least on twitter you have access to wider twitter and unrelated subcultures/ circles too/instead
Perfect timing, what with all the robot videos

I consider the jankiness part and parcel of Nostr. Tinkerers and hobbyists, mad max shed coders etc. lol. It also unintentionally serves as some sort of signal of something similar to using Craigslist's forums 'streetsmarts needed here, proceed with caution'. IMO
That partly exists now. But doesn't do image, so it still has boring bitcointwitter 'jokes and 'memes' about the price. 58k gang har har hat uptober hil a rious
Not that I know of, but it sounds like that what nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0qy2hwumn8ghj7enjv4h8xtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yh82arcduhx7mn99ueat4s3 is making maybe?

wikipedia: Gröning proposed the idea for the film to the monks in 1984, but the Carthusians said they wanted time to think about it. They responded to him 16 years later to say they were willing to permit him to shoot the movie if he was still interested. Gröning then came alone to live at the monastery, and to stay in the enclosure, where except for the order's aspirants no visitors are allowed, for a total of six months in 2002 and 2003. He filmed and recorded on his own, using no artificial light.
Afterwards, he spent two and a half years editing the film. The final cut contains neither spoken commentary nor added sound effects. It consists of images and sounds that depict the rhythm of monastic life, with occasional intertitles displaying selections from Holy Scripture.
I thought it was a lot older than that? Like clicking your fingers instead of clapping, I thought it was a 60s campus thing in the US and talk around PTSD. Which later got adopted by the world cos we're just on a cultural time lag. Like a lot of things it probably started with good intentions and for genuine needs. Maybe it's more about specifically online, as we know it now? Not listened to the podcast, but I also blame Tumblr for almost everything.
The rich art school kids pretending to be poor, grew up, got jobs in culutual, academic and political industries and started bringing their (often retro) online protest politics and Tumblr cultural to their new jobs. Once slightly fringe, and niche interests, language and concepts were then pushed into mainstream. Queer used to be some sort of fringe too, now it sort of just means you shop at retro second hand shops. Queer has become generic pop culture now, which is sort of funny. Perhaps it was heavily posturing to begin with and this is the logical conclusion. It wasn't that long ago that no one knew what cis, diaspora, intersectional blah blah even meant. Now it's sort of everywhere, which was the goal. But it also induces an internal eye rolling. You daren't roll your eyes publicly tho, cos those rich Tumblr kids are also in charge of the HR department. So you have to play along lol.
It is really worth losing your job over? Type beat.
(it obviously didn't start with Tumblr, Tumblr was just the symptoms of a much larger cultural shift. It's just funnier to say that Tumblr is to blame lol)

I wonder how it looks to Americans (I assume you're both Americans or non-brits at least). Wondered if you'd have to be a Brit to find it even watchable lol. There's the v similar american one too The Day After. Shame archivedotorg is down
Lolol. I don't know tho, I assumed it was a joke about web3 and web5 (which itself was a joke about web3 maybe?). I don't know who he is tbh, so who knows 👀👀

This would be my guess. So who is the real Satoshi? Maybe it's the friends we made alongg the way... But one thing's for certain, it's not this guy...

Can someone just tell me who the HBO documentary claims is Satoshi Nakamoto, please? I can't be bothered watching it or looking it up. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
#asknostr
I would watch it if someone livestreamed it on zapstream tho 👀
HBO named someone called Peter Todd, I'm not familiar with who that is, but they seem cool. So I followed lol. HBO is a discovery tool now #ff nostr:nprofile1qqsve2jcud7fnjzmchn4gq52wx9agey9uhfukv69dy0v4wpuw4w53nqpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7kpmdpu
