there is no deep conspiracy for the motives behind primal

“increase nostr user growth _just like everyone else_” is a mischaracterization. I’m not trying to increase nostr user growth, I’m trying to expand what the current users can do with the protocol. If these new human capabilities are valuable, user growth will naturally follow. Personall...

But I'm just a noob to nostr so you can ignore me if you wish. Also help improve nostr.com as Ben said, by helping t...

The social media aspect of nostr is just one of the many aspects of nostr. I stay because of the other parts which excite me more. The social network aspect is just an added bonus.

A whole massive thread and only one mention of an ActivityPub related service. Nostr is an abandoned playground. If you want real interaction, really diverse topics and no algo, Mastodon et al beats Nostr hands down. And you can run your own server.

What I like is the lack of bots.

It's pretty grim. Your recent return to the land of blue checks honestly hit hard. It feels like it's all over. I remember your WBD interview from a few years back. That was inspirational. Those days are gone.
