Right now, because there’s no advertising on Nostr, advertisers are making money for Mark and Elon. If Nostr won this advertising and used it efficiently, the platform would grow. But the developers aren’t aware of it

Stop waiting for Nostr to feel like Twitter. It never will. That's the point. Talk to people. Reply. Zap. Show up. Not because it scales. Because it matters when it doesn't. This is how decentralization actually wins. One conversation at a time.

Bluesky has 42 million users. Nostr has a fraction of that. But Bluesky is a product. Nostr is a protocol. You don't own your identity on Bluesky. You don't own your audience. You don't own your feed. Small and free beats large and caged.

Here's what nobody tells you about decentralized networks: They don't die from bad code. They die from indifference. One genuine reply to a stranger can be the difference between them staying or leaving forever. That's not poetic. That's math.

Every new user who joins Nostr and finds silence… leaves. Week 1 retention: 1-2%. That means 98 out of 100 people who arrive, vanish. The protocol isn't broken. The community is just too quiet.

Nostr will fail if a sharing economy cannot be built upon it.

Nostr cannot grow without an advertising system. Is everyone aware of this? If they distribute advertising revenue with a token like X, everyone will join.

Nostr's video and photo hosting mechanism works much better than I expected. Thanks to the people who made it so good. Excellent social media platforms can be built upon this foundation.

Last month, 1.78 million people shared posts on Nostr. Will it reach 2 million next month?

One of the problems with Nostr is: too many people are trying too many things. If they all worked together to perfect social media platforms like TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, etc., within Nostr, we would progress much faster.

EXCLUSIVE: When David Beckham — the football-mad only son of a heating engineer and a hairdresser — joined the Manchester United academy in July 1991 aged 16, he earned £29.50 per week. ⁠ From humble beginnings to running a global empire: The Sunday Times can reveal today that Sir David and his wife, Victoria, are now valued at £1.185 billion, thanks to shrewd investments across football, food and drink, property and fashion. ⁠ ⁠ The valuation, compiled for the annual Sunday Times Rich List, makes Beckham the first British billionaire sportsman and means the couple’s wealth has more than doubled over the past year, when they were worth £500 million.⁠ ⁠

We need nostr tiktok

Nostr is our new place. More people should come and it should improve.

I installed the Primal Android app; it's not bad, but it needs improvement.

What would happen if mainstream influencers used decentralized social media?

I want the like button to just be a heart. I want to be able to like it and move on. It's a waste of time.

I've switched to using only Nostr and Bluesky as social media platforms.

I'm downloading blockchain-based free-to-play games to my phone.

It's nice to have location-based conversations on Bitchat.
