No brands, no ads, just frens

It all went downhill after they removed the poke. 👉
Before Nostr I was relentlessly searching for something like the old school Facebook experience.
Pokestr 👆🏻
LFG 🔥🚀
Yeah, I never knew what we went after Twitter. facebooks formula is way more successful. 🤷♂️
Greed kills everything
Everything is an ad now
Vite + React + TS
They added a "just friends feed" back to the mobile app recently. It's litetally just friends' posts & its very nice... aside from the fact that they're probably using it to harvest data for this hyperpersonalized advertising thing I've seen reference to recently.
Well, I guess I should say activity pub, not mastodon, because that's the name of the protocol, but still.
But yes. Nostr can bring it back with better incentives 🙏

Instagram is still mostly very much this for normal people who aren't celebrities, but with the ads and brands.
That was like 2005
@nextblock is working on that exact problem. You have no idea how good it is going to be. Just wait. 🫡
Maybe we could use NIP-17, which is used to encrypt DMs, to encrypt feed notes as well.
Suppose you have 10 friends — when you post a note, it’s essentially like sending 10 identical DMs.
However, the note still appears in the feed. Only your friends can decrypt and read it; others can’t see the content.
I tried Gab, Parler (the first one), Gettr, Ecency, Poketnet (Bastyon) and Flote. Thank God for Nostr 🤙🏻
Facebook has always disgusted me. But yes now it's really indecent
