Thanks for sharing your writings and feedback, appreciated. There's not too much philosophy to do here. It's just a comms issue. The use of nostr for social media is a great use case and is helping a lot of onboarding newbies into it... Forget about accounts and learn about security, privacy and freedom of speech.

PS: the title of it make the association itself. I suggest updating it accordingly ;) 

nostr

Why are we still talking about #nostr as (only) a #socialmedia?

I've [argued](https://stacker.news/items/206646) that Nostr has no future if it remains just another social media protocol. Since writing that essay. there has been some progress in expanding Nostr beyond social media, but only a little bit. And most of the progress has been prototypes.

I recently started designing a client that would send SSH traffic over a Nostr relay, for C&C purposes. It would use ephemeral events for everything. I haven't had time to write any code, so if any programmer is interested, let me know. I might post something on Github (and link to it on SN).
