I don't get any engagement on Nostr 🙄

Primal keeps showing me the same annoying posts in a loop. Snort is even worse. It's an GM/bitcoin is good echo chamber every day, boring to read.

Nostr is really about the people you follow. You need to unfollow or mute anyone that posts something that you don't like. That helps a lot. I have a "Home" nostr list with ~13 people that post great content and that's all I'm seeing by default.

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @SwapMarket 12 Apr

I know. The problem is, they posted all the same type of content (memes mostly), so I unfollowed or muted too many from an already small user base. I guess social media is not for me.

I think you did good with muting & blocking, but maybe you need to mute and block some more? :) Here's my "Home" list fwiw: https://listr.lol/npub1m6azw8j5wanm6mvwa367anjkzhdnz7srkpl5tyf5kql8ydsq2e2sa7h78d/30000/naddr1qvzqqqr4xqpzph46yu09gam8h4kcamr4am89v9wmx9aq8vrlgkgnfvp7wgmqq4j4qq4xc6tnw3ez6vtpxdjnqdpcxukngv34vskngd3hvvknsc3jv5kn2epcvvmxydpnxy6xgvqvh4dk8 (I think you have to sign in with your nostr extension there to see the list)

nah, I followed the missing people from your list, but my feed is still short and repetitive, showing the same few posts for three days in a row. no point opening.

thanks for the list

i despise GM culture, so vain and cringe nowadays

101 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 12 Apr

Mostly for the potential of building more things on it, like Fountain, than the Twitter-esque use case.

I do like having access to the flow of information, though, without needing to be on a Big Tech platform.

Yes, but I wish more nostriches would spend more time on SN.

Love the idea, hate the execution

21 sats \ 5 replies \ @nout 12 Apr

What part of execution do you mean?

474 sats \ 4 replies \ @ek 12 Apr

No built-in key management, Primal’s centralized server disguised as "just a caching service," zaps you can fake according to the spec, the hyped dream of rebuilding the whole internet on top of websockets and JSON, too much faith in believing nostr will stay decentralized when it already isn’t because most users+influencers flocked to a centralized service the moment one with good UX showed up (Primal), not making security advisories in the NIPs repo public after they have been fixed

All valid points

Also it's losing users and you can feel it. Each time you come back it's more and more down to the hardcores.

At this stage Nostr should be at least gaining a modest number of users each month, definitely not losing users.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @BlokchainB 15 Apr

I think growth is really really slow. The development is still new and under invested.

51 sats \ 0 replies \ @sambuca 15 Apr

It's not really slow growth though—it's actual shrinkage. Since the New Year down by about 12% or so. Also those dropping off are likely to be genuine users and not the suspect portion of the daily "trusted" pub keys. So maybe 20-30% shrinkage in actuality, who can say. These things go up and down, but it's been years at this general level already, and I have a feeling the next 12 months or so will determine how robust Nostr really is.

How would you approach execution?

Nostr 🟣 is amazing ... There's a lot of value by value and a lot of quality content. You just have to follow the right people. 👀

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 13 Apr

Most of people got wrong what nostr is. Like they did with bitcoin too. Nostr is a communication protocol not an alternative to twatter. You can do so many other cool things than posting some meaningless memes and GMs.

Yes, I use nostr for posting memes but I see people trying to engage in discussions there, in public. FFS nostr is not to discuss and especially not to post private information ! The information you post on nostr it could stay forever online and you don't even know who save it on his relay...

As many see bitcoin as a "get rich in fiat scheme", same they see nostr as "no twatter, use nostr". Wrong. Both are protocols. What we do with these protocols depends on each of us.

And just an example: NWC. Very few see the powerful it is.

Nostr and wallet of satoshi, which is preferable? @suraz

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @flat24 13 Apr

Those are two different things. Nostr is a protocol, where there are many cases of use and Wos is a lightning wallet.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Dkryptoenth 13 Apr

Please I'd like to know other kinds of protocols like Nostr @flat24

The quality of literature on SN is very high, Nostr is mainly shitposting with the minority of excellent notes, where I'm wondering if the npub is unaware of SN.

Can see why koob was advertising for a head of SN engagement the other day

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @hasherstacker 12 Apr

I'm on Nostr. I mean I use Nostr, but I love SN more. I think Nostr is mostly about who follows you.

I like it! And I use the Amethyst client. It's convenient, and I like posting photos there. 📸⚡
