generally i agree that nostr is superior to twitter, in fact i think laser-eyes should leave twitter and never come back, nostr is so much better trust me, just leave twitter ok you’d be better off that way just don’t login again

You guys are so uniquely dumb 🤣
Do you really not get the point of the tweet on the right?
I’ll spell it out for you Greg. THE SEC SHOULDN’T EXIST, because it stifles innovation on one end, and fails to stop actual scams on the other end
It is incompetent + harmful, just like every other government agency
This shouldn’t have been something we disagree on tbh

2023-07-15 21:21:49

Yes! If you’re building products and services targeted squarely at the very specific niche that’s on nostr, then it makes sense to promote it here!

Getting people to take action is manipulative? I don’t think so

Thank you for your thoughts

2023-07-15 17:04:01

- reply

I don’t know what is or isn’t good for the world. It’s a complex equation imo. Some things they do are bad. I think some other things facebook has done have been intensely positive for many people’s lives. For example many small businesses have been transformed.
That aside, of course I support the idea of making nostr bigger. The point that I’m trying to allude to is that for that to happen it would have to somehow compete better on reach, imo
Chicken and egg, I know, but also many in nostr seem to think reach doesn’t matter at all, and that’s a problem imo

2023-07-15 16:59:12

- reply

I really do care about reach. It’s the only reason I use social networks, to reach people from outside of my network.
When I communicate with people within my network, I prefer encrypted messaging apps.
That said, I’ve always been an Uncle Bob fan and really happy that I was able to reach you here, so maybe nostr is useful to me for reach after all! 🧡

2023-07-15 16:52:51

- reply

As I tried to allude to in the original note above, as far as I’m concerned engagement is a good way to measure one’s ability to drive people to take action
Of course likes don’t carry monetary value, but the ability to get your message across and have people act on it is valuable. Very valuable!

2023-07-15 16:42:18

- reply

I use and enjoy both of these apps. I like them personally. I also think they stand 0 chance of hitting even 0.1% of the usage stats of threads

2023-07-15 16:40:56

- reply

That’s ok and understandable, I was never expecting a lot of engagement here for my public account
What I’m saying is that even as a small account on threads, I get more engagement than @jack does here (and he’s the largest account on nostr!)

2023-07-15 16:39:43

- reply

So far the it has been trending the opposite way. Twitter and Threads are growing, adding more users every day than the entire user base of nostr

2023-07-15 16:37:42

- reply

I have all the freedom I need. Including the freedom to pick and choose which app and services I use to achieve my goals. I use them while they are useful to me, and if they stop being useful I can stop using them. To me that’s freedom

2023-07-15 16:36:36

- reply

Oh no they don’t like me? 😅

2023-07-15 16:35:51

- reply

I don’t think it’s just that. But either way I don’t really care why it’s happening. I’m just stating that threads as a tool is useful to people trying to drive others to take action. Nostr, currently, not so much

2023-07-15 16:33:48

- reply

Great approach man

2023-07-15 16:33:21

- reply

Yeah, agreed. Makes a lot of sense to me to use a combo of twitter and threads (and other apps!) but I still can’t find a real usecase for nostr
Only thing it’s good for so far is for triggering maxis, and frankly I can do it without coming here

I guess? But if you want to drive people to take action… shouldn’t you take advantage of the best tools available to you?

2023-07-15 15:15:50

I get more reach and engagement on threads with 3,000 followers than @npub1sg6…f63m gets here with 150,000 followers
When I want people to take action I have no reason to come here

Why so triggered man? I’ve been here for more than 4 months
What is the issue you’re experienceing?

2023-07-06 08:08:47

see you on threads guys. it was a good run.
(btw threads is interoperable with activitypub/mastodon/fediverse so it’s really not that bad)

the need to manage keys is one of the worst aspects of bitcoin, but it’s the only way we know to make it work so it’s worth it
taking the worst aspect of it and applying it to social networks for no good reason is not my idea of good design

2023-07-05 18:05:10

- reply

it’s worse than passwords in 2 major ways:
1. if you lose access to your password manager it’s over. all of you’re social graph is gone
2. if someone steals your password manager is over. you can never remove their access to your social graph

because nostr is the only place where you can talk about nostr

sure but using email is way more approachable for most people than managing keys
i’ve been managing keys for a decade and i hate it. i really don’t want do have to do more of it. and I’m an “expert”, what would normies think?

2023-07-05 00:54:25

- reply

the freedom to build isn't the only consideration.
another consideration: how many people can you reach?
our community wants to reach more bitcoiners, and potential bitcoiners. it seems to me you can currently reach WAY more bitcoiners on twitter, and also on instagram etc, than on nostr
so i'm just not sure this is immediately useful for us

That’s why I’m exploring it. We’re pretty good at mobilizing our community. But we need to be sure of it first. I’ve also tried Bluesky, mastodon, and I’ll be trying Zuck’s new thing on Thursday too. We’ll see

2023-07-05 00:39:41

My favorite thing about nostr is that you have to click the button to see your follower count
And it slowly counts up until finally settling on the up-to-date figure
Very satisfying

We promised a big Twitter Space on Thursday….
Me and @npub1wvu…mtwm will be joined by the most well-known bitcoin OG, the cofounder of Bitcoin Magazine: Vitalik Buterin!
We think bitcoiners can learn a lot from the successes and failures of Ethereum, and we want to facilitate that discussion. We think it will be a great interview, if you can handle it!
Anyone can join, even people I blocked on Twitter :)
