Dr. Hax31d agoI'm getting bored with nostr. Maybe I'm just following the wrong people, but it seems to be an echo chamber about how great the protocol is and platitudes about bitcoin.
Interesting content outside of those two topic areas doesn't get many boosts, so when people do post it, it frequently doesn't get discovered. I've found maybe 8 people on here who post that kind of stuff. That's a pretty small social network.
Combine that with the bots and technical issues DMs no longer being reliable and it's no wonder so many people bounce off and then tell all their friends not to bother with nostr.
Since I delivered these bitter truths about my experience here, I'm already bracing for the reply guys who are going to tell me that I am the problem, or that it's not that bad. Probably at least one insinuation that I oppose freedom of speech or I'm using the wrong client. You know, the usual beratement and gaslighting.

U-P-G-R-A-Y-E-D-D30d agoTry building something on it.
I'm only shilling it so hard because I believe in it.
The Pubky protocol has serious potential, but it doesn't have a marketing or PR team.
It's still in its infancy, but the apps built on it already have a better UI/UX/DX than anything built on Nostr (with the exception of Primal).
Build something with real potential - mainstream commercial potential.
Unfortunately, it's become clear over the last few years that Nostr isn't the answer. You'd have to be in a cult not to see that at this point.
My only motive is to help make the internet better and more decentralized. I'm not a stakeholder, just a reply guy.
