I've had a LOT of conversations with people about Nostr, really people who are aware of Nostr but don't use it. There are a few things that come up. * General admiration for Nostr and how it does ...

I much prefer Mastodon over Nostr, though I do like the idea.

I agree that the “Bitcoin” part might throw a lot of potential users off. There are people who just don’t like the idea of cryptocurrencies and that’s okay. I was one of those people. I’m only open to Bitcoin because of Nostr. It is kinda a bitcoin circlejerk over here, not that it is necessarily a bad thing, it just throws people off. There are a lot of libertarian leftists looking for a new social media home and I will recommend they come here and to Mastodon. Both platforms are great. #mastodon #nostr #btc #bitcoin

Mastodon (Fediverse) is currently more diverse for sure, but back in 2009 it looked very much like nostr does today: just swap the word "bitcoin" with "opensource". I love the fediverse for its fauna and flora, but i think it is ill equipped for the modern internet. It only decentralizes the value...

True that most of the conversation on Nostr is about two main topics: 1. building Nostr 2. Bitcoin That’s because Nostr was built by Bitcoiners who passionately believe in what they are doing. For what it’s worth, Nostr has far more potential than mastodon as a truly decentralized network. An...
