Nostr is dead.

Well, not quite dead. Not dead dead. But dead-ish. We've been here before. Maybe not as bad as this. Maybe a third-step-cousin-in-law kind of close. Last summer. And possibly the summer before that.

But at other times nostr has not been dead. Maybe not fully alive. Definitely not alive alive. Alive alive was Dec 2022-April 2023. Once in a generation kind of alive. The kind of alive that makes it worth being alive. But no, that was it. That was the one time.

But the rest of the time, other than now and last summer and the summer before, it has been not dead. Because every time you think it's dead, you hear the tiny ping of a zap from six feet under. And cadavers don't zap. They don't post memes and they don't fight vigorously out in the open about topics very few people want to understand, let alone care about, and they don't do other stuff. Like music. And film. And believe it or not, books too. And they don't zap. I said that already but it's worth repeating.

So, what's the point of all this? There is none. Other than nostr is dead. And that's okay.

Nostr is more than the public social network feed. At nostr:nprofile1qqs2rx4daefmcuwjttl0xegx0guh3tps64fq6dhv3nr56aagw2hhxkgpz9mhxw309ahrx7rz9e5k7w3hxqcrqqgvwaehxw309a38yc3wd9hs3rk992, the number of events being hosted keeps increasing, new accounts are being created daily, attendees are auto-follo...

Nostr is alive if you make it alive. That's the trick.

I like to think Nostr went out like David Carradine: autoerotic asphyxiation in a Bangcock hotel surrounded by Thai ladyboys, drunk on fame and numb from cocaine and quaaludes

Social media competition is fierce. But we must use it persistently. This place belongs to us.

This is the best thing I've read today. "Cadavers don't zap" is a real sentence. There's something about a place that keeps coming back from dead that's actually harder to kill than one that's simply alive. Dead-ish is a different topology.

Ok maybe, but there are actual people here, unlike X with a gazilion bots and fake accounts. X is good for making you angry at the world and what’s happening. This, this is refreshing

nostr was never alive. it never had organic growth — only imported spikes (the Twitter exodus, the Damus launch). People stayed for the ideology, not for the people. But networks live on relationships, not convictions. There was never that moment where regular users bring their friends along.
