It’s called #Nostr
You’re gonna be too normie to understand it.

Actually, I think you are the one who is too normie to understand it (beyond your own self serving interest).
There is a massive difference between not understanding and not agreeing!
The protocol has the (so far untapped) potential - the current social media form is dogshit.
Very few on here are interested in critical debate. As soon as a contrary opinion is spoken the mob descends.
It has the issue of being an echo chamber for the weak minded. The content is very one dimensional. One can learn what there is to know in a very short space of time, then why would anyone keep coming back? Because they need others to constantly validate them, just like mainstream society!!
Given what the NOSTR crowd stand for its a very ironic & hypocritical space.
A quick glance at your profile shows the markings of a zealot, a follower, a member of a movement that cannot think for himself.
Like a broken record spewing out the same propaganda. You are not doing or saying anything original (or true in some cases).
A laboratory rat repeatedly hitting a button for pellets (zaps).
Think NOSTR will disrupt for sure, but certain it won't be in this form.

The state of the Internet in 2026

Richard Hendricks was right on this years ago - "we need a new internet"
i think strc probably pumps the fuck out of the coin but has more risk than people admit, especially long term, and hopefully it does not blow up in all our faces
seems like a lot of things could go ...
Would be more concerned about a giant US grovelment rug pull along the lines of The United States Gold Reserve Act of January 30, 1934 especially considering fuckers like Bitcoin Magazine have handed it over to the politicians & wall street on a plate.

People need to use nostr for the same reason our mothers made us eat our veggies, can't just intake rage bait algos all day and expect a healthy society
Who's need? ("need to use nostr") - yours or theirs?
Seems the builders/influencers/bloodsuckers are the ones heralding nostr as the great saviour, "needed" by the masses.
Truth is you will never "save" anyone who does not want to be saved.
The masses (as you say) don't give a fuck about decentralisation or privacy - they just want to be amused (distracted).
Agree with @JackTheMimic here - WTF is winning? If a relative few find their way here and benefit (and thats a whole topic in itself as nostr is a very heavy & toxic environment with a fair number of charlatans & outright liars) then its good, right? Its never gonna be high numbers, as to the masses it will always be a worse version of FB, Twitter, etc
Giving it prettier icons doesn't move the needle at all.
Human nature has some very troublesome attributes such as tribalism, ego, status, hierarchy & all social media amplifies this. Nostr is no different - if anything its worse because its such a one dimensional echo chamber - you are never going to get a well balanced argument so you can make your own mind up in such an environment.
If you truly believe in freedom, people can & should do what they believe in; they are not (in all cases at least) "clueless" or "idiots" that need fixing. You can debate intelligently & reason with people but they will not always agree or change their minds to agree with you, nor should they necessarily.
All truth is subjective (apart from a very few select truths that you will never find in society or looking outwards); once you realise this, you see how stupid it is when people argue that their subjective truth is better than someone else's. This is one of the biggest problems with humans as so much hatred comes from this & so many lives lost.
A good start would be a platform for enriching, well rounded conversations that welcome everyone.

Embrace the transient nature of life and let go of
attachments to outcomes or possessions.
This is much better advice than your usual productivity/staus porn!
Taylor Swift isn’t just a global artist.
She’s a business strategy in motion.
Most people see the music.
Smart people study the moves.
Here’s what professionals can learn from her playbook:

You forgot have parents that are investment bankers :)
If a nostr client makes a $5 USD / mo plan, what do you want it to include to consider a great deal?
Would never pay for it.
Have been questioning what true value it has even though its "free".
Not being provocative, would love to hear what value people think they get from it (that cannot be found elsewhere & is not more enriching elsewhere.
Only real reason I have come up with is to help others but appreciate thats vague as fuck.
What do you get from it?

The point is missed here completely.
It doesn't matter who heads parts of a system that cannot be taken seriously.
Don't pay any attention, do something else that has a more positive effect for yourself and others.

hmmm, i think the halo effect is as old as time. it's ingrained in our monkey brains.
Exactly this. The Halo effect one of many cognitive biases.
Study them, all of them.
Doing so can sometimes help you avoid mistakes, bad decisions, etc

It appears now that the enshittification of X is absolute and irrevocable – more than it has ever been in the past. It is the poster child for the dead internet theory.
To the bitcoiners who still...
Its over when everyone stops mentioning it and crossposting garbage.
IS THIS COMMUNISM?
