People keep telling me to call my Nostr posts "notes".

Yes, it is "notes and other stuff transmitted by relay". But my note is a post. I posted it. I have used the term "post" for two decades. I posted it.

This is Nostr. We don't have rules. I'll call them what I want. I called it a post. Fight me.

I continue to call posts on "X" tweets as well. I tweet them. My father called tissues "Kleenex" down to his end days and I plan to do the same for this unless or until it just naturally feels right to do otherwise. Every time someone tells me to change my terminology, I just channel my late father and say, "no". I called it what I called it.

I tweet on X and I post on Nostr.

A post definitely falls under the umbrella of “other stuff”. Posting something to Nostr is a completely acceptable use case for leveraging the notes *mechanism*. To wit, the Damus client shows a “Post” button when creating a new note as evidenced by the attached screenshot… #nostr #damus h...

Bravo! 👏 You can can call them what you want (as not as they are not lies; which -of course- are not). I also tweet on X and post on Nostr! Likewise your father, I drink "Coca Cola" even if it's not Coke 😊

Agree. I see nostr as a protocol not the use case.... You build a social media app on top then it's a post, you build a messaging app on top then it's a message etc...

You can “post a note” but not really “note a note”. Post is the verb, note is the subject in this case. The verb form of “note” represents a much more brief, to jot something down in order to recall, or as to remember. The term “post” is literally used when you publish a message or...

I call everything a 'post' on Social Mediocre. Post a Tweet (X) Post a Note (NOSTR - all caps because it is an acronym) https://m.primal.net/HOgG.png

Problem is if you say nostring it sounds like no string or nose ring, and then notes are noted not posted, .. you could ring nostr

I compormise using post as the verb and note as the noun. As in I justed posted this note". And thus the universe remains in balance.
