After spending more time of FB lately, I can confidently say (with some encouragement) that Nostr UX doesn't suck. Not at all. It's not uncommon to open the FB app to an empty feed with a grey blinking screen that stays that way for minutes. Or a notification indicator that says there has been activity but nothing new is displayed. Or a claim that replies exist that, despite rifling through "most relevant", "most recent", and "all", never appear. I'll have moderation requests show up for groups that I admin weeks-months after the request was made. Search is utterly broken. It's easier to search FB through Google than from within FB itself.

Beyond FB, my YouTube history doesn't show what I've watched until days after the fact. I'll delete emails 2-3 times from Outlook or Gmail before they actually disappear. Financial apps send me notifications hours to days beyond when they are pertinent. I could go on and on...

Most of this stuff is directly technology dependent and not related to their shitty business models or the algorithms that steer them or their stupid rules. It's all just broken experiences that people tolerate because they have no real recourse and too many reasons to stay.

Nostr isn't broken. Its quite nice, actually. Clients might have their quirks but you'd have to add all of those together to match just how awful big tech has become.

We leads me into another thought... in-client bug/issue reporting. That's a thing. It's possible to do now. It works. More clients could have that. Every client should have that. Maybe I'll expand on my thoughts around that another time.

It's all spit & baling wire under the pretty designs, everywhere 😅

Man.. I had not realized just how bad platforms have gotten.

The only problem with nostr is the lack of friend/follow request feature that makes Facebook the king. The majority of people aren't interested too much in having public profiles or having any stranger reply to their notes. That's why X isnt popular among normal people. Facebook dominates in the w...

Facebook is the worst UI on earth because it has been stacked upon for decades without ever eliminating things. It’s so bad.

Another great aspect about Nostr is how easy it is to spin up a client. Yeah; the fancy ones have all the bells and whistles. Which is why I use them. But if you just want to have a client that shows you the messages and allows you to post… no problem. That simplicity is also a feature of the cen...

Been saying this. XMeta exists purely because of network effects. It's late-stage #enshittification over there.

I agree with you, Nostr is lovely!

FB is a steaming pile of garbage. how anyone is still on that granny platform is a mystery to me.

Facebook brought back the most recent feed? It sounds like they've made some improvements since I left

Yeah, I tried to change my seat on an airline and the website crashed every time. Had to call up and have them do it. 😂 Everything is so fucked up and bullshit.

Você tem um ponto e concordo. Mas o problema não é o aplicativo não ter funcionalidade X ou Y mas não funcionar bem em coisas básicas. Sempre tem uma coisa que algum app faz que está quebrada e ninguém resolve. Por exemplo, o Nostrdeck, desinstalei aquilo simplesmente por não posso usar ç ...

"we need creative new ways to breach into the network effect properties of other social networks" At that point we still want to offer a good UX, but the need for attention to user experience is inversely proportional to the real and unique value provided by the application/service. Simply because ...

Last minute example to confirm nostr:npub1cgcwm56v5hyrrzl5ty4vq4kdud63n5u4czgycdl2r3jshzk55ufqe52ndy view: I need to check a DM conversation on Facebook, going backward some months my messages are completely disappeared, I can only see the other person's ones. A while back, I tried to access the sa...
