Better is subjective to the user. Some people (probably most) don’t care about a decentralized option, or crypto. If they don’t care about any of that stuff then there are much better options than Nostr.
Marketing can get Nostr over that hump, but the only Marketing I’ve seen has been focused on the very things mentioned in this comment. That won’t grab mass appeal.
If you want users then figure out what users want, and offer that to them. Otherwise users will find options that are not Nostr, and Nostr will fade into obscurity because of it.

Nostr is the future if marketed correctly. Otherwise it will wither away as well. I hoping it doesn’t though.

Yeah they have an alright thing going on over there. I do support communities setting there own rules, and being able to kick people. I’m not a big fan of entire servers doing so though. It might be more palatable if you didn’t have to start over from scratch when something like that happened, and just jump to another instance, but that’s not how they wanted there platform to function. Lemmy, and I don’t agree on that. So for that reason I’m oooot.

2023-07-13 04:28:07

Well it took me 4 days to be kicked from Lemmy for the crime of pointing out that if I’m a rich business owner, and the world is screaming record profits bad then I’m throwing my profits into my balance sheet to erode my profits, and still come out on top. Record profits are a weak argument because it ignores everything else that a business can do to hedge themselves that doesn’t show up on an income statement. You’d need to know some basic accounting to be able to really know what a business is doing with there money, and profits are just one of many things to look at.
They didn’t like that.
Eh it was a fun experiment anyways.

Loved my carbon copy. I’ve sold most of my gear but my fender bassman amp, and cab. I won’t be able to replace that one if I decide to start jamming again, and my classical guitar. Business just got to busy, and I have no use for a lot of my gear atm.

I was never a fan of Twitter to begin with. I jumped on when Elon took over. I figured things would get better, or it would die spectacularly. Either of those was worth being there for, and neither of those happened. So I left it where I found it amongst the pile of toys I no longer play with.

Lol I haven’t figured out lighting wallet either. It’s not my thing. I’m the physical assets guy. Bitcoin is cool, and all. You guys like it a lot more than I do is all.
The common bond is an interest in the progress of Nostr. Beyond that I don’t believe Damus to be my community. It’s a good community for what it is though.

I think the point most people miss is with freedom comes responsibility. Free speech is no different, and with our information revolution in full swing people haven’t quite made it to the point that because we can talk about whatever the hell we want to in full view of the public does not mean we should.
For the moment most of social media boils down to controversy for controversy’s sake. Sure we could talk about black people shipping off to Africa, but why would we? What purpose does that serve, but to piss people off? Idk if that’s a dig at your comment. It’s just a meaningless observation of mine. Something I’ve noticed over the passed decade, or so.

It feels like I’m on all of them at this point. I really just monitoring the progress of a bunch of clients to see which ones are progressing in a good direction.
A short list would be
https://satellite.earth/
They’re ui kinda sucks, but they do have user created communities
https://zapddit.com/communities/discover
Very similar to satellite, but very buggy atm
https://snort.social
It similar to Damus, but for whatever reason I see more diverse content there
https://coracle.social/apps
Is doing some cool things with apps.
https://iris.to/
Seems to be the place for memes lol
https://www.austrich.net/nostr
I’m just digging through sites like this one, and trying everything I can.
It’s difficult to judge any client to harshly. Nostr is still really new, and has a long way to go. It’s just id like to see decentralization take root in a much large way than bitcoin can do alone. So I offer my constructive criticism.

2023-07-07 03:34:09

I pop in once in a while to check on progress here, but tbh Idc about bitcoin. I don’t have anything against it, but it’s just not my thing. It’s saturation here is why I’ve moved to other clients. I do love the decentralized part, but I gravitate to clients that have a diversity of content. I’m just to adhd to enjoy the same things over, and over again

Content, and a wider range of it. From bitcoin to stupid cat videos. If you want mass appeal then appeal to the masses. Zaps, and dev speak won’t do that. In traditional social media models. Bitcoin, and dev speaks would fit in a group, community or a page to follow, and engage with, and not the entire social platform model. Because the masses don’t care about bitcoin. They care about politics, pornography, and stupid cat videos. Appeal to them and grow exponentially at the cost of diluting the content, but it would work. If not then keep the tight nit crypto, and dev community that currently is Nostr. Really either path is fine. It’s just which path would you prefer?
Because you can’t have both.

I do think there needs to be a nostr client that doesn’t focus on tipping. I don’t think Damus is that one. Everyone here wants that. So Damus could possibly implode if that feature was lacking here. For Damus it seems the better route to get off the App Store, and stick with the web, and then develop a client for the App Store that got rid of tipping for to appeal to the masses.

I did that once to see how badly Apple wants me to update. It’s starts off very civil like hey buddy I think you forgot to, and then progressively moves to a more aggressive posture like do this, or bad things will happen to your family. Eventually though my phone updated while I was asleep, and I thought to myself. Well self they did warn me that bad things would happen lol.

Apple went after Brave browser a while back due to the bat tokens. They remove them, but they’ve kinda just picked on them ever since. Idk man. This situation sounds very familiar. Maybe the App Store isn’t the best place for Damus, or really Nostr in general.

I took off. Idk if I was a part of a protest, or anything. It’s just the direction the CEO is Taking the company I don’t agree with. So I don’t want to do that anymore. It’s like when Coke changed the recipe back in the 80’s, and lost sales because of it. No one was protesting anything. It’s just no one liked it so they didn’t drink it.
I think ultimately that is the direction Redditors will take. Because the direction Steve is going with Reddit is antithetical to where Redditors would like to see Reddit go. So unless he can come up with a new clientele then I would expect to see his current one slowly dwindle.

My son works with me a couple of days a week in the summers. This will be his 4th year doing so at 11 years old.
We run service routes, and enjoy audiobooks between jobs.
Its all business, and finance in my vehicle. I started Rich Dad, poor Dad for like the 50th time, and half way through the book the kid says I’m starting an IRA, and dumping everything in there until 18 when I can pull a penalty exempt distribution to buy a home, and start building my asset column. I said that’s great, but why? He said because money (all money) is imaginary. Physical assets are not, and I can start renting that home for more than I would pay in rent if I get a cheap place to live. So anyways his aunt (a financial adviser, and accountant is coming down next week to help us set things up with him,

It kinda is though. I mean I don’t really care to the extent that people are talking about things I don’t really care about, but it does show a lack of using Nostr to its fullest potential. At some point Nostr will have to grow encompassing more than crypto, and dev speak, or die in obscurity. Id hope for growth, but I guess will see.

My father-in-law is about the smartest man anyone that knows him knows. At the beginning of covid stimulus he told us to pay down debts to $0, build an emergency fund that sits under our mattress, and not in a bank, cut our spending in half, and build food storage. He’s the kind of guy that when he says something you listen. Because there something about Jimmy that says to you this guy is right almost all of the time. I’m glad we listened. We have 6 months of food reserves, most of our bills paid 6 months to a year in advance, $15k in ready for an emergency, and our family buissiness is fully funded for a year. We’ll weather this storm, and likely have some money to throw at investments when things start getting ridiculously cheap. Something is coming. It’s very familiar to me. It feels like when I was coming of age as a young man. A decade of easy money followed by a crash that left me homeless, and now we have an entire generation that is in almost the same situation. A childhood of easy money followed by a major financial disaster. I watch my kids going into all of this, and hammer into there heads to get ready, or be homeless. Part of them is taking it serious, and another part reminds me of myself at that age. That scares the shit out of me. We are very lucky to have a business that in an industry that is considered recession proof. There is a good chance that we’ll do better throughout all of this. As we tend to get busier when finances are tight for the rest of the world, and we’ll probably use that extra cash to employee any of our kids that are facing unemployment, or financial troubles.
What’s coming will be a thing that has to be dealt with by all of us. Get ready for it now, or deal with it then. That’s your choice. Choose well.

I’m one of the dudes that has been caught up in the rexit bs. nostr would be a great escape, but tbh (and I’m sure I’m about to ruffles some feathers here). Not everyone is into bitcoin, zaps, and developer speak. Nostr needs to become something with a bigger net, or it just won’t grab us redditors in mass, or any group in mass. I have heard rumors of a Reddit nostr client, and am hopeful, but part of me thinks it’s just going to be endless zapathons, and developers speaking over the heads of people that don’t really care about any of that. Also if you’re interested in keeping up with the Reddit protests there’s a site that has been tracking it in real time.

Lol the kiddo that is a couple of belt tests from a black belt in Korean martial arts walked into class to see his girlfriend being assaulted. A couple of boys were kicking her, and verbally abusing her. Our kid has always had a temper problem, and it’s why we put him into martial arts to begin with, but he couldn’t hold it in after seeing his gf getting beat up. So he dealt with it where the teachers wouldn’t. He dealt with 3 boys at one time, and handled them easily.
The assistant principal acted as if the cops were going to get involved to which I replied you’re dam right they will. The girls parents have already pressed charges on the boys that assaulted there daughter.
She then proceeded to mention expulsion for our son, and I asked her how she would expect her husband to respond to her being physically assaulted by a group of boys, and promptly reminded her that we’ve been down this road with the ISD before with another of our children, and won that battle easily. The media loves stories like this, and it brings parents in droves to school board meetings. So please try me. Anyways as it turns out there are 3 boys in juvy tonight, and a boy, and his girlfriend since he was in diapers, and are both in junior high now are both enjoying a $60 steaks tonight. Fuck isd’s. We’ve been fighting with them for 18 years, and take no issue continuing that battle.
