You’re right
TheGuySwann (npub1h8n…rpev) I was talking to my 17yr old son about nostr today while golfing. Pointed out that it’s part of the internet he’ll be leaning into without knowing it. I told him that I had over a decade of posts on Instagram and since that app started sucking, I left. But I didn’t hate the people or want to abandon my content.
This leads me to ask:
Can we have an IG exporter/extractor that’ll migrate the past posts to the Nostr protocol so we can have them come with us? A blank slate isn’t what people seek. Ownership is what they seek. Let them pack their stuff when the migrate to self sovereignty.
I can understand people not abandoning traditional social networks where they’ve made big investments of time & energy to build an audience…
BUT I cannot understand refusing to invest ANY time and energy into a protocol that can’t be shut down.
It’s like buying a huge, expensive house, filling it with your favorite things, then putting candles in every room, but refusing to add a smoke detector or buy insurance. You’re just begging to lose everything.
Any investment made into a centralized service, ESPECIALLY one that is known for censoring people and shutting down accounts for no reason, should at MINIMUM require an equal investment into a decentralized alternative.
If everyone who was aware of the problem did this, #Nostr wins.
