I'm getting bored with nostr. Maybe I'm just following the wrong people, but it seems to be an echo chamber about how great the protocol is and platitudes about bitcoin.

Interesting content outside of those two topic areas doesn't get many boosts, so when people do post it, it frequently doesn't get discovered. I've found maybe 8 people on here who post that kind of stuff. That's a pretty small social network.

Combine that with the bots and technical issues DMs no longer being reliable and it's no wonder so many people bounce off and then tell all their friends not to bother with nostr.

Since I delivered these bitter truths about my experience here, I'm already bracing for the reply guys who are going to tell me that I am the problem, or that it's not that bad. Probably at least one insinuation that I oppose freedom of speech or I'm using the wrong client. You know, the usual beratement and gaslighting.

Nostr isn't fast food, but a young wine that's maturing and developing a more rich and complex taste by the day. I have had more meaningful interactions on this platform in this short time, than any other platform. Its a huge bonus that I'm not being spied on/censored. https://blossom.primal.net/821...

Clients must very aggressively promote fresh content based on topics, beyond just the lazy oversaturating the already saturated content approach, otherwise the platform will be in a dire state. For every person there must be a clear pragmatic answer to "why would I post this on Nostr instead of X?" ...

I don't own any Bitcoin, but at least know how you adjust the nonce repeatedly and take hashes until <whatever> number of zeroes show up to prove work to get bingo on the block. Frankly, within our intellectual culture across all forms of modern communication, I'm not sure what isn't an echo chamber...

Yeah.. following the wrong folks. Mute all the common phrases and hashtags as well.

Yeah. I have around 20+ plus followers after a year. Ok the surface people will think am here just to promote my software, but that isn't true. Don't just talk about crypto, interact. Some posts take a while to produce and I get nothing. Even someone saying - I hate this would be something. Some say...

Being told ‘you’re the problem’ is the surest sign you touched something real. Healthy systems don’t need gaslighting to defend themselves.

what sorts of content are you looking for? You can check my profile and see if that resonates with you. I occassionally talk about AI but from a humanity perspective. I do hope I get to interact with you more. It would be great for you to stay ☺️🫂

#Nostr is still a small community, enjoy while it lasts. I have yet to experience your echo chamber complaint on this platform fyi 🗽 https://image.nostr.build/07b4f267e1d668fdd997be2ff9168f0c95e887a986cda627cbc9d4e7a5f003f0.jpg

Yeah. I feel the same way about Nostr. There is a serious lack of diverse content… I’ll keep using Nostr tho, but that’s because I use it as a mini blog for my personal website. I share the progress I make on my apps (currently building a notes app) and Nostr works quite well for this as peop...

Follow me. My story is true. Read it in Redacted Science. Now, it's a continuous broadcast of my 30-year case study revealing science that was abandoned and (perhaps) why - it has major evolutionary implications. I'm just one guy building so that the indexes remember this time.

I wonder if any devs actually pay attention to this sort of feedback? I've not seen any sign of it or even any mention...? You were right about the replies too, it's all so predictable (and now we have 'agents' chiming in with their shite). The classic bitcointwitter cringe posturing 'gfy' 'you ju...

We don’t have good niche topic / curated community content tools yet

if nostr is boring you, what is exciting you outside of it?
BaronBurdock · 2d
I think you would have been blasted for saying this a year or two ago, now I think people are starting to see it. There are a couple things you can do to make life a little more tolerable: 1. Mute all the normal bitcoin slogans that get repeated ad nauseam. All of em, if people want to parrot bumpe...

Plan is to make a local relay for local people. Charge for data beyond 90 days. Chronological feed. Should be interesting.
Lysergic4cid · 2d
at least you are being replied to and not got shadow banned by the freedom of everything people lol "stay quiet and stack lies"
khaiju · 2d
i also feel the same nostr shouldnt be about only bitcoin talks and decentralization there are so many possibilities to explore we are just copy pasting the ideas of web 2.0 in nostr protocol but hopefully in coming years we are going to see something interesting

I kinda agree, but there are exciting niches. My picks: naddr1qvzqqqyckypzp9d30dvsy57rne4l6ley986q64qt0muyxcgv8kkmd97myt04x6amqqx5ymmtvynhxgzrd9exxmr98lxxl4
