Farcaster (Nostr on Ethereum) is going to charge $5 per year for users. To me, that is a fantastic price point. It reminds me of old school Whatsapp. The only question is *how do we get Nostr to work at that price point?*

The mistake of many decentralized networks is actively trying to remove context. People should know exactly where they are talking, who can see it, etc. In fact they need to know. View quoted note →

Discord as a platform works extremely well because all communication is very clearly within a context. And there are no exceptions. Servers feel like physical clubs that you are members of. You meet people in clubs and get invited to other clubs. Everything is organic. You can make your own club, but you also have DMs which is more like your own house. You can chat with someone in your house. The fact that there are no exceptions to this system makes it comprehensible to the user. nostr has difficulties with comprehensibility because it is full of exceptions and there is very little context that users can grok.

Is there a phone app that has a list of Lightning nodes in order of preference. So if yours is offline, it can fall back to a friend’s?

@nos just curious but what is the roadmap for Nos Social?

Got an invite to Bluesky finally. It’s literally just filled with unhinged leftists lol
