People on Twitter are mean, salty, and incredibly unproductive? Sounds about right. You get 0 engagement for saying interesting, challenging, thought provoking stuff and little for building things.
Nostr will be more like that later, but it’s early in the adoption cycle. Hacking, nerd culture, Bitcoin, all used to be a lot cooler and tighter, then the mops showed up.
Hacking was all punk rock and being clever and cool, now they’re renaming stuff for offending literally no one, censoring speech. Being a nerd used to be really not cool. Now companies will send you loot crates of random cheap shit that midwits can consume. Bitcoin was all Austrian cypher punks who were genuinely building shit to be ungovernable. Now it’s trader bros who think Bitcoin was the first digital currency when it was really the last.
