Completely agree, it’s slowly dying

There is a place for Nostr being censorship resistant. It might be flagging right now post the pandemic censorship era, it likely to again increase as content also improves or if more censorship is applied. There is also strong competition from X, which continues to battle for free speech too and i...

Almost alive

Is there a point to social media absent influencers and algos?

talking about nostr on nostr is what made nostr ded

try relay feeds, discover new people and coversations. follow or create lists. that helps me to see new stuff. (idc about engagement)

That's not my opinion. It's developing slowly and being built diligently, which is not the case with other platforms. If you look at the growth, you can see that people are slowly but steadily switching from centralised platforms because they are looking for solutions. There's a saying here that goo...

There is a lot of lurking that doesn’t show as engagement, and the incentives on nostr hit differently than getting fake engagement on legacy. Might only get one or two people replying or zapping your posts and it still feels more valuable than 100 legacy likes, or “impressions” What would be ...

There is no algo, there is nothing baked in to boost engagement, there is no incentive anywhere for it, Nostr is anti engagement by default. Embrace it. Embrace the boredom.

I thought it was bcoz it was Xmas. 😬

There’s a lot more interaction on this post than most on X

Nostr is doing great, submit a NIP if you have improvement ideas.

It‘s very weird. It‘s the one platform where the engagement is low, but I get paid through zaps. Other platforms do not zap (pubky), or cost me (X/twitter).

Quality > quantity brother

There are a lot more articles getting posted than 6 months ago. I would say that is true about posting, as well. You have 50+ responses. Zaps are less common because people either don't set up their wallets (easy to do, folks), or they think half a penny is going to turn into a million dollars som...

I’m new here, and apologies in advance for the somewhat rambly reply, but I hope the context is important for the deeper message. Some background: This morning, I saw a post on X - something like “according to Nostr Iran seems like a pretty big deal. According to MSM it’s a non story. If your...

NOSTR is what you get when social media is not flooded with bots, fake profiles, and military level propaganda and advertising, + advertising algorithms I actually like coming here and talking to other real people!

Yep, NOSTR “only” cough, cough, posters ain’t doing much posting. Praying not “eh tu” Bitcoin?

We are on absolutely uncharted territory with nostr. The path will reveal itself as we follow him.

People are playing outside in the snow here this week ☃️

As someone that have been wandering through several digital realms such as the Fediverse (especially Lemmy where I'm used to spend most of my online time), Geminispace, Dark Web (Onion HSes and I2P eepsites), I'd say this is far from being a Nostr thing only, it has been an Internet thing. The Dead ...

Bitcoin brought me to nostr. That's why I stay with nostr.

I come here less often than a few months ago. Centralised systems are more efficient and deliver better UX, which is key for users. I’m not sure privacy is actually superior here. Social networks are about socialising and network effects, if your interests aren’t here, your time goes elsewhere. ...
