Mostly it’s pretty dumb and will not last. People mistake fiatjaf’s saltiness for smarts. Whereas relays and nsecs are a product of a weak mind amid low IQ density in this space.
I will be back in 6m to tell you I told you so again.

Sadly all the clients are kinda lame and recommend the same bunch of opinionated nerds (and Gigi) that circle jerk each other (they call it zapathon) on how nostr is awesome and it fixes everything and it’s the meaning of life itself. But if you hang around a bit you’ll see it’s actually just another product of broken money. These morons made their money selling bitcoin to other idiots and so they don’t have to make anything that solves anything or does anything anyone would actually pay real money for. So clients suck, relays suck and the whole new user experience is just shite. But it’s worth a visit if you’re into cyperpunk subculture phenomenons..

Can we stop the circle jerk that nostr will succeed because of freedom, FOSS or decentralization? Most people don’t give a flying fuck about freedom. That’s why nostr will likely fail unless it actually succeeds as the protocol because somebody figured out how to do something truly needed and different on it. Probably a centralized entity.

We all talk about bitcoin and low time preference. But most of money is in the hands of people with little time left. By the time this wealth trickles down to us, our own time preference will be significantly higher.
It will take a more catastrophic shift in wealth than many have the stomach for in order for bitcoin to happen faster.

Lasting value comes only from lasting effort. Even bitcoin isnt anywhere near the effort mark of multi-generational value. Now consider this when you look at all the instant nostr clients and micro apps. We’re still so early. Which begs the question - will any of you live long enough to see the promise land? How many are truly ok with that?

Community notes are a centrally managed service pretending to be a source of independent verification, yet it’s really not. Every major centralized social has something like that. Read around a bit.
On nostr, if someone posts bs then other might call bs people might zap/like if they ageee etc.
In your example, who do you zap when you call bs? Who decides if you were right? How’s it different from what you can do now?

Ageed, true FOSS is forged in the crucible of competition and attempts to usurp it. If nostr gets hijacked because we were ok with relays having this much power, then another protocol fork will arise and solve it true p2p style. IF.

Wrong. Trackers were not like relays, they were directories of relays (coming to nostr already) seeders were more like relays, except they were all dumb and not empowered to censor shit.
Current design direction of nostr towards relays being the “brains” moves it closer to smtp / pop model than torrent.
