Nostr is for everyone, correct?
And the absence of algorithms should create a more open and diverse network, yes?

Despite this circumstance we have a bubble here (at least I think we do): Bitcoin, anti-state, libertarian, maybe a tendency towards the right?

Of course there are technical, historical and other good reasons for this.

Nevertheless: Where are the “others”?

Please mention user profiles worth following that brings diversity to Nostr! 🙏

And if you don’t agree with my assessment, change my mind!

If you think this post should be seen by many, consider reposting. Thanks!

Every beginning is fanatic. If not genuinely so, it’s doomed to fail.

A matter of time. Always starts with one niche and expands. A function of the features as well. I do think artists and creators will find a home here because of the global payments and as clients better highlight their work (little things like full bleed images and such).

How do you zap without bitcoin? ⚡⚡⚡

I mean, you’re not wrong. There’s room for growth, socially speaking. But, yes, there is definitely a certain tribal-ness to this place.

Yes to all of the above. I don’t think we bring people over on the selling point of decentralization, data ownership, zaps, and client interoperability. These are huge but I think most people don’t chase these things. They just want to use something that works well and it’s where they’re fri...

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't m...

are there any sites that categorise relays?

Here for the tech, small talk, big talk and everything else

I am not a #Bitcoin maxi and believe in diversification across asset classes

I appreciate this note. This has been my experience after a few days. The folks here are the ones that already have a close proximity to the tech. Bitcoin, libertarians, etc. My sense is that the artists or general pop won’t care so much about how the tech is different, just that it does in fact...

Great post, love seeing questions and discussions like this! Agreed with Jack that it’s just a matter of time. Just need another niche to start looking for a new home. Also, it’s early and I don’t think it’s been determined how communities organize (hash tags? specific relays for certain c...

Start a relay for the people you want to see on your relay.

Nostr is a lot like Bitcoin. For many, the legacy systems do everything they need, are easier to use, and have already gone through the network effect. IMO, you won't see widespread usage here until media outlets, sports teams and players, or porn stars are using it -- the typical content that stirs...
