How much would you guess? And it's not dead!

Oh god, I just scrolled for a few seconds in reply feed and found myself in the 1 hour ago section. I take it back, it's dead. Officially just a weird group chat now

the whole AdOpTiOn thing is silly anyway. we all are here because we can't stand being where they shape and block and ban our asses into obscurity, at least here people who want to read our silliness can read it in peace. what makes nostr userbase grow is practical, monetizable applications. we have the group chat to organise it :) it just takes time because a lot of people have stupid ideas that they say out loud and don't even realise how much of a clown they sound like

Checked x and found a relevant post

I'm a bit of a clown... but at least I'm posting rather than lurking, or not being here

yeah, facebook started dicking around with actually showing what i am subscribed to that was the beginning of the end of me using centralized. first i used steemit for a while, and then nothing until 2022 and for a year on twitter then nostr. many things about nostr's rockstar culture of slop coders and architecture manglers irritate me but the potential and the pockets of actually alert people and watching their stories unfold, especially with this AI thing, so many people who were a little technical in some way busting out code now, it's quite a pleasure to watch, and be part of it, doing my own bit in it and getting some basic stuff that is necessary to keep semi-normies sticky with us. i know there is loads of them out there. dudes whose dev interest is zero but they make music with computers or write or sell drugs who are just waiting for the right invitation to get on nostr. i think that's the thing that people confuse about nostr. it's a system for connecting people who have been isolated so they can collaborate. so we are the user base. live with it.

I can’t even imagine going back there. I’d rather just stop using the internet altogether.

I don't have much of a view or opinion into the dev side of nostr, but it seems aight to me. The vibed stuff will get better in time, and the principles of nostr protocol seem ripe for vibing new stuff (I think, anyway). For now I'm still pretty happy with who's still around. Learn a lot of cool stuff just scrolling about each day, or at least have some laughs with people I feel like I actually know a bit. Good enough for me

He wrote a full long form article bemoaning how shitty it's gotten. Good! NOSTRs time shall come soon, oh yes, soon

yeah, i think the thing is because it's not tied to any one organisation or person, it can become a durable community, that people in it are maintaining it as well as those who are just helpfully testing the bejesus out of it :) gratitude to all of those people.

Pathetic

I'm sorry but this is a stupid argument. Nostr is alive and well, and new exciting apps keep being built on nostr.

Hmm?

lol the deader the better

Maybe not quite a group chat, but like a small house party where you've got random people showing up and leaving... You don't really know anyone, you're pretty sure those dudes hanging out in the backyard are white supremacists or something Maybe you find someone interesting to talk to for a few minutes but they've got to go... And now you're left listening to creepy weird girl have a nervous breakdown

Lolol, this is slightly too accurate. There be a high concentration of crazy left 👀

Hard to think of a bigger ass-clown.

more than a bit

We dead again? Still breathing 💜🫂

Sad, but it's better this way. :PV:

Are we a dad server? 🤣

who did? nic carter?

Thought he meant me for a second. But he definitely meant nic...

I like the weird group chat analogy. It does feel that way sometimes and I'm okay with it 😂🤷‍♀️

Yeah, it's pretty close lol. This note may have a better analogy though haha 💀 View quoted note →

There is always someone having a meltdown 😂 Nostr: The come and go house party

Oh, that’s what you think! 🤣

do you have a parody song made about you and your online statements?

This has @npub1hcf3...8dsc written all over it.

I'm not a nic hater, I find some of his stuff pretty insightful, though lately he's seemingly gone a bit further towards the dark side (posting about coreweave as he likely dumped his shares/stake at the top; pure speculation on my part, but wouldn't be surprised. And the quantum FUD stuff). Nevertheless, I can't deny this: View quoted note →

More like stalkmyrepliesalot 😅
