Cryptocurrency skeptic here
I think almost all uses of blockchain have been scams, and that that the fervent behavior of the enthusiasts is akin to a religion. There are a few idealist among them, which I respect, though I don't share their libertarian anti-government politics
So I dislike the current prevalent culture on Nostr
But I really like the elegance of the protocol
I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to use Nostr in a way that allows different groups to gather with more like-minded people, which is what Mastodon/ActivityPub is good at
Currently I'm working on a project to help people pick relays to avoid topics they are not interested in
