Karnage and 248 others on Nostr: Other social media works just fine for them. It has people and they are happy. They ...
Other social media works just fine for them. It has people and they are happy. They don’t care about the same things we care about.
For nostr to win social, it has to offer a magnitudes better experience or be ok with slow and continuous growth with incremental improvements.
To build better experiences we have to discard bitcoin and zaps from consideration of what makes a good social app. Yes, it’s better with zaps but we have to remember many people simply don’t care about bitcoin, lightning, any of it. What they will use as the measurement criteria is the network effect, and the social experience (how awesome it is, if it’s fun, addicting etc)
People are selfish no matter how you slice it. We do everything in our best interest, to feel good in the moment, long term, avoid pain and discomfort.
We’ve got our work cut out for us for sure 👍
Don’t get why the folks I got on Nostr aren’t active, but they’re active on other apps 😬
