I kinda give up on posting on nostr. Iris and Snort are kind of useless now, do not connect to any relay. Using Onyx on mobile is the only one that still works nice for me, but I do not like to use mobile for this kind of stuff.
Also not so interesting stuff posted on nostr. SN is much better to consume information.
Nevertheless, nostr market is very interesting for me.
I will agree with you here, there is a lot of value in SN, the pace is more align with me. In the socials network on top of the protocol nostr, there is more "instant" and "news" topic.
I came back here two days ago and the difference is very noticeable.

This is a really interesting observation. I have experienced the same thing with my usage. That is, I tend to gravitate towards SN over nostr. That's different from what I expected because I used to gravitate more towards Twitter than Reddit in the past. Thoughts?

SN's reddit-ness i think is what makes it click -- content is free flowing, letting its free market determine value and what others should be looking at, rather than relying on algorithms.
You're virtually invisible to start without a following on Twitter/nostr, whereas here it's a level playing field.

yes, nostr became quite boring, most popular posts are almost from the same people, and so hard to find good info in the sea full of crowds.
I only repost stuff over there these days.

I agree. Primal on desktop works pretty well for me, but the content isn't that interesting. SN is much more informative and fun. I'm still optimistic about nostr in the long run.

Also, I am not sure if it is the nature of social media integrated like an ego game? With all the numbers and likes, is it meant to be designed for people complete for eyeballs?
what happens to simply sharing things so to learn something new from others...
reply
that's why we have SN...
