Officially no longer justifying and answering the same questions about #wisp over and over again.

Here it is in plain English

Nostr has been shrinking and dying for years and so I'm trying something new and different to try to improve this.

Removing sources of jank, complexity and confusion is part of my thesis why people leave nostr, because it feels broken to a noobs coming from Facebook or wherever normies hang out idk.

I'm trying to grow nostr, and not just by spamming a hashtag or trying to appeal to the same bitcoiners over and over again.

Maybe you're happy having everything be so jank that it acts as a filter so all we have left are vibe coders, but I'm not, and so I'm doing something about it, other than complaining about it.

If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have time to explain it to you, sorry.

Next thing you know you’re blocking bitcoin hashtags and removing the wallet 🤣 😳 😂

Wisp is my favorite client

If I couldn't run older clients from before they went full vibe slop, I'd probably have left Nostr and replaced it with nothing. If Nostr is defined by janky software and everyone just sort of laughs about it without taking it seriously, it's not worth supporting. Luckily, the primitives of Nostr a...

Good luck sir 🫡 Gotta try something different right?

You are explaining it aktualli. Show, don't tell.

Social media is only truly social with a little hate sprinkled on 🧂

As the spokesperson for my normies, I fully agree. Joke aside, wanting to grow Nostr "because freedom fighters and truth tellers" is naive at best. Not everyone was banned from traditional social media for "telling it how it is", and we should stop pretending that it's bad for everyone. You do your ...

Good luck, I don’t hate you for it. I just don’t know if we need normies here. I wouldn’t say nostr is dying per se but is surely not growing as fast as it could. I think most people are lazy and comfortable with what they are currently using because they are stuck in the matrix… anyways wis...

One of the things that I love about nostr is the fact that we're all free to try anything we want. With services like DeVine appearing, sites/apps like zap.cooking etc, there's all sorts happening and I really like what you're trying with Wisp. Fuck the purists. If someone doesn't like what another ...

I wish you many GMs and GNs 🤙💪

Builders build. Bitches bitch. Looking forward to more wisp!

That's a good explanation and a good idea

Nostr UX sucks. Wisp fixes this.

We need solid AI video skills to make up banger ads. Something I will be focusing on learning in coming months.

If you compare Instagram codebase to a median nostr client codebase, what do you get?

Good products say no 10x more than they say yes. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Yea, Im sure its just a coincidence that these awful decisions youre making that seem to be alienating a majority of your userbase come days after your OpenSats grant Lucky for you, most bitcoiners are retarded

This is why I did onchain zaps

Alejandro · 16w

They can also NOT use wisp. No one is forcing them.

Gotta ride your own ride man. Haters gonna hate, you owe no one an answer. Ride on.

Provavelmente no mesmo barco. Por aqui é mesh — Meshtastic e Reticulum via LoRa e TCP, a ligar comunidades. Ando inclusive a tentar integrar Nostr sobre LoRa. Concordo com a tua tese sobre a jank. O caminho do Nostr saiu bastante desalinhado do que se imaginava — mas isso é razão para constru...

Love it and admire your fight! I think nostr will always struggle, but still a fight worth fighting. The big tech algorithms are designed to make social media more addictive nostr doesn’t and shouldn’t have that. It’s like getting a crack head to go carnivore.
