I think I just asked about androids in a price range and Mayen there's just not many options lol. I assumed because it still has a good reputation. And having a look at (mid level) phones, it seems like there isn't that much of a tech upgrade from my 6 year old phone. In fact a lot are worse and more expensive:(.

I'm mostly with you. I think the gaming example is a bit dubious. Probably the best game released in ages, amongst a whole garbage heap of both paid and free to play, is a paid game - Elden Ring. Free to play is mostly trash, disposable and will have not much of a fond legacy. There are some exceptions obviously.
Just a little aside. I appreciate the argument tho, I'm just not all that onboard with that analogy.

I get what you mean. I am sort of arguing more about the mechanics of how to get visibility here. And it being geared towards a certain type of user or posting style, predominantly. I don't think I anyone expects instant feedback or followers or whatever. But I also think there should be other mechanisms to discovery than being from bitcointwitter, or appealing to the whims and tastes of Recommended Users (I'm being a bit hyperbolic here but you get my point).And it feels like there easily could be other mechanisms, but not so much the desire or urgency to actually put them in place.
Again just a bit more hyperbole. If you came here and spoke about Other Things you cared about and got ignored, but got thrown a bone if you made a generic botcoin 'meme', that would shape behaviour and the platform generally. I'm obviously being extreme here, but this feels like a vague shape that forms here that hasn't changed much over time.

Anyone got any go-to brands for reliability and durability?
I think some are a bit of a ripoff for average / commuter usage, the extra design, aero stuff etc. They all have to pass the same safety tests by law. (Countries do have different e parameters of having to pass.
But you do want some sort of build quality in certain parts, fastening parts and the plastic back bits and dials etc. But also aren't you meant to replace them every 3 years anyway?

The nostr meta is fairly easy to play, not that it wouldn't be obvious and it's not interesting to follow, but it works. It is arguably somewhat incentivised by zaps. There's ebegging, which is too obvious, but then there is ebegging with a nostr-acceptable veneer.
#nevent1q…hdsq
But even taking away the zap mechanics, there is also the quite horrible situation of having to appeal to the tastes of large owners accounts. Maybe less bad for people who happen to think along the same lines as them, be it ideolocally or humour etc.
Maybe there's not enough upward mobility on nostr lol. Further compounded by the onboarding recommendations. More followers = More good, more followers = more read receipts, more read receipts = trending, and even more exposure.
Most accounts have followers because they're carrying over clout from bitcointwitter, or theyre nostr devs (I don't mind this one acceptable actually), or they got here early and/or been blessed by the aforementioned for aligning with them somehow. A lot of the time. Stagnation.
Meanwhile there I have actually found some notable new accounts quietly getting on with posting interesting stuff and looking for interesting stuff.
If I may..... From the vaults:

I suspect social media is slowly losing steam in general. Post-social media could look like private groups, the sort of groups that facilitate offline activity. Which is sort of a return to how some things like this functioned before the Public Square social media (or however you want to call it).

Yeah, hashtags have been a great source for discovering I treating notes and users.
I know what you mean about feeling reluctant to use them tho. There's also the issue of people using hashtags just for visibility eg on something like Asknostr which feels spammy but that is somewhat a failure of discovery mechanisms (almost as bad as asking people to repost notes for sats, that feels the most spammy to me).
Niche hashtags and topic hashtags can be great, although it is perhaps revealing how little there can be on certain topics (that you can find at least). Then the generic hashtags or hashtag nostr, plebchain, bitcoin seems somewhat pointless.
Bluesky does really well with their feeds, but they generally have a wider userbase and broader topics.
@nprofile…ujaz and @nprofile…7pmw seem to think topic-relays are a potential way forward. I'm too clueless to follow the conversation on it tho. But posting it here as you may also be interested.

DVMs are a nice idea but so clunky. Afaik you can just auto subscribe and have them appear in your feed under a highlited label or something. Bluesky feeds are actually great to use, and appear as tabs on the homepage. That is actually something I do like about bluesky lol, and tbh they do have a wider breadth of topics with more interactions. Probably because they have a much much larger userbase. (Although they also suffer a not dissimilar problem of an ideological echo chamber, it isn't so topic-focused/fixated like nostr).
I feel like there isn't much of an attempt or urgency on nostr about this lol. Maybe it's because there's an idea of Nostr being inevitable. And maybe a bit of it is (my suspicion lol) that the only thing a lot of people seem to know here is bitcointwitter, so perhaps a lot of people are actually quite satisfied (content even ;) lol). They come in use it as a bitcoin chatroom, say the bitcoin slogans, look at some dry memes someone has posted from the explore page of Instagram and that's perfect.
You can ignore the people saying 'where is the content?' as being scared of freedom tech or wanting an algo (even tho no algo would ever give them what isn't even here in the first place - Other Topics). Pat themselves on the back for being freedom warriors and algo-free.
I like to think there are some devs out there who are working on Not-Bitcointwitter tho lol;)

2024-09-27 14:32:15

- reply

I actually forget that amethyst as a 'conversations' tab as home feed option. Which is actually much better to look at for possible interesting threads and peoplr than 'trending'.
(I am relay-clueless so global feed is mostly unusable to me lol)
But a lot of this goes back to a lack of topic-based mechanisms/clients. You have to follow people here, when you could be better off, depending on what you want from Nostr, perhaps subscribing to topic feeds instead.

2024-09-27 12:47:31

- reply

I think generally I wouldn't onboard anyone to nostr, there is no point (perhaps I don't know anyone irl who would stay here/ be interested). People who stay seem to find and seek nostr. You can pretty much tell who will stay. And it's not the people posting 'really excited to be here, can't wait to use this freedom tech'. The people who stay tend to have a slightly um... whacko edge to them lolol.
So yeah there is a struggle to find people to follow, get followers and have interesting discussions about things you care about. Often absolutely no one is talking about topics you are interested in, or you might find a stray post here and there, maybe from months ago. (I have to repeat that unlike what people say I don't think this is not a user problem, it's not a matter of them not having an algo to help them, it's just often not here to be found).
And yeah this often leads to 'paying your rent in bitcoin', the parallel example is on Instagram where you have to post some activism as rent to use the platform. (Although on Instagram you might get 'called out' for not paying your activism rent, luckily not something that happens on nostr if you don't make a 'bitcoin post'). But yeah bitcoin posts are the rent you pay to some extent for exposure. Or appealing to the Old Heads - replying to posts from large follower accounts. Some of whom are just carrying over clout from bitcointwitter, some just got here early and accumulated followers when it was quiet and posting some screenshots of trending page Instagram dead memes was enough to be highlighted, presumably ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯).
But yeah the meta of Nostr is interesting in a way lol. And it hasn't really adapted. The trending notes are just the most followed accounts, the most followed accounts are who clients recommend, clients recommend according to a presumption that you want bitcointwitter2. And so it the feedback loop strengthens. Want to curry favour easily? Make a lame bitcoin 'meme'.
However this also makes it a lot easier to spot potentially interesting people who aren't doing this. People stand out by talking about OtherTopics.
It's just not reflected in the mechanics of trending posts or (potentially) Interesting Posts feeds (which doesn't actually exist afaik).
May as well mention again that a (potentially) Interesting Posts or a better Trending Post could include likes as a % of followers number. So you don't just get the same old read receipted large follower accounts posting absolutely anything and it being considered 'trending'.
This was a long reply lol.

I don't want to be mean by mentioning it again and again but it is the most common complaint about nostr. And it sort of feels like that problem is never really taken seriously.
Not many clients has really thought about catering to another demographic besides bitcointwitter expats. Nos social and voyage might be the only examples I know of.
The user recommendations at onboarding is probably a bigger problem than most think it is lol. imo imo
Imagine having this 'no bitcoin chat' relay set up as a choice at onboarding. You're timeline might be slow, but that is actually preferable for a lot of people to a barrage of bitcoinisms.

Oooh riiight.
So I saw theduck's note, who I believe was the emojireply guy.
Didn't see the reply guy's one. Did they say it was the same purpose?
These notes need to be kept on the nostr lore page of wikifreedia or something.
Who is the nostr archivist ffs?

So did the reply guy thing stop? Was it the same dude who was also doing 'emojireply'? 🤔
I'm confused. As per #asknostr
