Funny how some devs complain about Nostr’s current state while completely missing the point.
It’s not about cloning Twitter, it’s about rewriting the rules of communication—
permissionless, censorship-resistant, and open by design.
You want mainstream? Go build TikTok on Ethereum.
We’re building something for the next 100 years.
You’re right about one thing: Nostr wasn’t born to be a Twitter clone.
But calling it broken because it doesn’t fit your expectations?
That’s like criticizing email for not being WhatsApp.
Nostr isn’t trying to impress “users.”
It’s trying to liberate them.
Most people won’t get it — and that’s fine.
Nostr’s value isn’t in mass appeal. It’s in sovereignty.
Nostr only came about because of Lightning Page which was built with Gun
The point of using Gun was to have trust-less relays for invoice transport, and key-based identities to exchange them such that anyone could build an app into that network without an API key and permission from an identity provider
Nostr only sucks now because its mostly soy devs that don't understand it or its pre-history, its not even good at being a twitter clone... these retards are focused on that use-case and circle jerking signatures to themselves (ecash)
Eventually reality will set in and useful, scalable things will emerge and Nostr will be as mainstream as email because it works similarly but better (no reliance on authoritative DNS and key-based authentication)
