Jameson Lopp on nostr

Open in Damus

@Jameson Lopp 1687697280

Some folks on Twitter are saying that nostr is failing due to a plateau in user / event growth. There's certainly a lot of work to be done before normies will find the user experience to be simple enough.

But, on the flip side, I'm tracking a variety of Twitter metrics and it seems to be falling apart.

All of my Twitter integrations have broken.

Engagement metrics have plummeted.

Twitter Analytics dashboard is broken.

Impersonation bots are running wild.

Still no progress on monetization.

I'm blocked from buying Blue.

Everything is terrible.

We’ve hit step 2 pretty quick 😳 https://nostr.build/i/956552c160e53e72371d22d769d633f3f1f0cb76c22cc56bdc0cd7e661e8785e.jpg

Plebs could always promote their own tweets about Nostr on Twitter. Vires in Numeris.

Given he paid 40 billion what is the reasoning for blocking someone from paying for the blue check. I don’t understand

Twitter is getting worse by the day. I can't post anything without instantly getting those ETH MEV bots flooding my comments. I see verified accounts all over the place dropping drainer links for those stupid meme coins. Verified scam accounts? WTF? I can get drop a tweet and get hundreds of view...

I guess, congrats on being blocked from supporting twitter by paying them? You are free...(It's a Sunday morning post.)

Maybe they should complain on nostr about a plateau in user / event growth instead of on Twitter and there wouldn't be a need to complain at all.

Really curious about how the nostr experience is in a year or two. I’m slowly leaving the walled garden of twitter, hope more will do the same!

I'm definitely already happy with #Nostr. Haven't used #Twitter in months and won't go back. I want to own my identity and engage with great people. I also don't want an endless, algorithmically generated feed that tries to steal as much of my time as possible.

Blocked from buying Blue? Why? (I don’t recommend buying it)

To be fair I'm sure that was happening before Elon, eh nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m?

Yes. I noticed the same. And for a privacy concerned project like ours we don’t _want_ to collect user emails. So only way to communicate to our users is Twitter. This is insecure - so we will get on nostr now. Recently we saw youtube cancel Swan. No one is sacred.

Imagine when normies find #Nostr. There will be a whole ecosystem of applications that open up as soon as you have 🔑.

I got permanently suspended after using it for 14 years. I don’t even know what went wrong. They won’t tell me. Appeals are rejected automatically right away. I miss it. Spending more time on here now.

nostr is way better than twitter on many fronts, the current reddit drama will help us too

Also, very low engagement rate.
