214 sats \ 6 replies \ @ek 14 Feb \ on: Why don't the known bitoiners shill SN more? meta
My suspicion what most bitcoiners think:
SN => centralized => bad nostr => "decentralized" => good
However, I think:
SN => decentralized/non-custodial money + centralized UX => good nostr => centralized/custodial money + decentralized UX => bad
Also:
The term "decentralized" is suffering from Goodhart's law. "Decentralized" has become a marketing term (see Bluesky etc.) but if it actually achieves what it was meant to achieve has become less relevant.

I believe Nostr's legacy will be for its censorship resistance and not decentralization. Last I checked, there were only a handful of "stock" relays that many of the hyped social clients recommend. I get it. Gotta crack some eggs....but then marketing should reflect that. Social beings gravitate toward the most useful and stimulating information hubs (the formation of cities proves this).

Why people are comparing nostr with SN? Are two different things.

Common use case of nostr for most people is the same as SN. It's just another form of social media as far as most people are concerned.

They are totally wrong. nostr is not social media, is a protocol that can be used for many other things, for example nostr markets.
SN could be the replacement of the old defunct Bitcoin Talk and r/reddit where peaopl can talk in another way.
