Short form has its place, especially at scale and in aggregate, where very good and concise information can rise to the top[1].

It doesn't really gel with long form though. It's kind of like putting brisket in ice cream which makes a lot of sense to people that only eat ice cream, but is at best a novelty to people that like BBQ.

  1. If I were working on a short form nostr client, I'd spend 80% of my time on ML/AI ranking algos, because that's where all the low hanging fruit are.

100%. I absolutely loved the early days of Twitter and I do enjoy Nostr but I don't enjoy Twitter today. I dip in and out. Same goes for Nostr but I prefer Nostr to Twitter. There's just a ton of dumb stuff. Bad takes and flippant nonsense. Short attention span responses. Its better than Twitter though.
