Coinos with Damus usually works fine for me. I just set someone up that way this past week. Yakihonne is by far my favorite client though and Jumble has great options for expanding your feed. I have yet to try Amethyst so you're ahead of me there 😁

I personally don't find any merits to SM platforms and morally detest their policies and business practices. Trying to compare them to nostr, which is a protocol, is false analogy. I have no problem with people who do find benefit from such platforms, we can disgree on that. But treating them as categorically equivalent to nostr is an invalid inference.

I think most any bitcoiner would say Saifedaen is required reading. I believe the brothers at npub1f7n47xajdxnvrespa939hvcta6ys362k4sy3yjd2e2ea6dcghpvs2tm25c (npub1f7n…m25c) are working to publish an academic journal soon so if you have criticism for them I'm sure they'd appreciate the feedback. Otherwise, I know of Major Lowery's paper at MIT that was quite "academic"...

I think it is very easy to form bubbles or echo chambers here on nostr. Some effort is required to diversify. Most clients don't have great tools built to assist with this yet although they are improving. I see it s lot like early bitcoin days - a bit rough and bumpy but over time you form lovely communities. That time spent is the important part! Bitcoin took a few cycles before it hit 100k. Nostr has only been around about 3 years and already has rebuilt from protocol nearly everything SM platforms have done in the past 2 decades. For me the beauty of the future to come is what makes the wild journey here worth it. I'm sure that won't be the case for everyone, but hopefully you can find something beneficial in nostr while you're here.
