nostr seems to have a bit of an identity crisis from time to time. im sure there's a joke here since many people, including myself, like to boast about nostr's portable digital identity. anyways, nostr seems to be hanging out in the discovery phase for an extra long while, building, lurking in the shadows... there is plenty of work to be done with growth, onboarding, and community building. find your flock and push forward.

Nostr has yet to explain what the ”Big Mario” *actually* is. Nostr is still experimenting with different products in its ”Small Mario” phase. But once the ”Big Mario” emerges organically, it will become evident that it is not just a new social media which happens to be decentralized. ht...

It’s natural for a project in its early stages to go through an identity crisis. But the key is consistency and vision. Nostr has the potential to grow into something unique, and with the right community and development focus, it will carve out its space. The challenge is in the execution, and tha...

It is pretty murky, I agree. There are a series of ethical standards that are too ambiguous and exploited which lends to serious credibility concerns and long-term foundational aspects. Skeptic, putting in effort to not become cynical. ✌️⚡🧠

IDENTITY CRISIS IMPLIES AN INDIVIDUAL IN NEED OF PSYCHOLOGICAL INTEGRATION NOSTR IS NOT AN INDIVIDUAL TO IDENTIFY?! LABELING?!? COLLECTIVIZING!!??!! WE ARE AS WE ARE, FLOATING AMONG GUITOOL, ASCII, AND A QUILT OF CERTIFICATION AUTHORITIES, REGULATORS WITH REGULATIONS ON ONE HAND AND ENFORCERMENT...
