What is this obsession of developers with Nostr communities lately? I think, forget it. Everyone is forming their own, constantly changing community here. I don't understand why this thematic segmentation is needed.

That's something I don't understand about Nostr btw. Cool, we have a new protocol. Fine. We even have zaps. Honestly, this isn't all that new—there was already a social network where people could pay each other for their posts. But okay, zaps are cool.

But why does the UI still look like it's from 1999? What's the point of communities, previously called "forums" previously called NNTP newsgroups? Why just a purely timeline-like display of all notes? UI and design—why have you been stuck for over 25 years? How about some new concepts? Completely new interaction concepts?

But new UI concepts would probably fail because of the users. Admit it—you’re all too conservative. You want to take your timeline-based display with you to the grave, don’t you? We saw a bit of that with Google+ (2011-2019). They only introduced small, cautious changes—and it killed them.

That’s the influence of traditional school, I’m telling you. It teaches everyone a linear world, so you can no longer think three-dimensionally and interconnectedly. Instead, you process everything sequentially, neatly lined up in a row.
