the action seems to now be on nostr
It is not. Nostr is only a sad copy of twatter, is not a place to have serious discussions. I was a member of Bitcointalk from 2012, but barely posting few things. The forum died after 2017.
I hope someday it will move to SN. SN is meant to be the replacement of Bitcointalk forum and r/Bitcoin. Once and for all.

I was on there the other day. There are some good threads and it's cool to read some of Satoshi's original posts but I hope we can migrate all of the quality content over here to SN. P2p eliminates all the low-value posts and I would much rather give/receive sats rather than merit.

Nostr is, in my opinion, a dumpster fire of low-quality posts. By making it 'free to use' with no measurable friction... it's all low-effort low-quality posts that are worthless to read (in my opinion).
I don't need to see a picture of someone's breakfast tagged 'good morning' for the one-millionth time. If it were 100 sats to post (about 9 cents) would that person still have posted?
When nostr adopts pay-to-post (P2P) i'll go back and take it seriously once again

Nostr will be cool when we can all paywall each other and set a price for our time and attention.
Until then, it seems to be nothing more than a vacuous see of spam and low-value posts.

100% agree unfortunately. Bitcoin is the preservation of time and value over the internet... and Stacker News is a great example of both while remaining fun and engaging.

Imagine if SN was available in 2010-2017 era...

Jesus, that would be amazing. None of us would have ever been censored in r/bitcoin or constantly spammed on bitcoin twitter.
...and we would probably all be rich from zapping each other a million sats per post πŸ˜‚

zapping each other a million sats per post

Bro, I used to attend a meetup back in like 2015 where I spent like .1 BTC for a couple beers at each event.
I would be zapping a shitload if bitcoin was still like $250 per coin.

i sometimes wonder if in , say ten years, i will tell my kids about all the generational wealth zapping that went down on SN

This will absolutely happen.
To your future children,
I just zapped your parent 21 sats for a single comment.
Sincerely, Jon in 2024

How do I not use this more as a meme template?

The bigger folder of meme templates you have, more funny memes you will have.

Also the Bitcoin Development Mailing list is here to view. Odd, but pragmatic, they chose Google. It was probably the easiest to setup.

unfortunately there's no place or is everywhere they can. The strong Bitcoin community that was before the "great fork" is not anymore so strong. is heavily divided.
