It’s a fun way to get a sense of overall size of Nostr - his follower count. But of course it keeps jumping up and down every time you load it :)

I’m very curious to see what early culture of #nostr will be like. Early cultures of connecting are always fun because it’s all amorphous. But there’s so many ingrained behaviors from the bird app that’ll get applied here - and also so many more ways to consume and present the data layer.

Something that’s irked me about Twitter isn’t the centralization. I’ve reset who I follow many times but still feel a chilling effect on what I can tweet there. Twitter now feels like the ‘persuasion’ app to me - where people go trying to advocate strongly for their world view. Tweet threads, mechanics catering to engagement all contribute to this. I’m interested in open protocols because of how many different types of applications can be built on the same message layer, optimizing towards different vectors. A vector of engagement and social persuasion. A vector of freedom of expression. Etc

Let me see if I understand it right. DNS server for Nostr public keys that can resolve unique identifiers that are associated?

There’s plenty out there - I’m not Nostr knowledgeable enough to recommend something aligned with it particularly. But if you have longer term aspirations then I really love railstutorial for a broad range of overview of concepts. It’s not particularly API focused or NodeJs focused though :(

Ohh lightning is a part of this. Alright will go deeper on it for sure then. Have mostly been paying attention to the Ethereum ecosystem

Any preference for programming language?

So is the nostr overlap with bitcoin just love of decentralized? Or is there some other reason to see so much bitcoin adherents here?

Hey Nostr world. Saw Jack’s post, read the protocol and found it really appealing compared to Mastodon. #introductions
