   The problem with nostr is that it's simple yet oddly opinionated. Why even have "identities" and "follows" and "likes"? You could build a social media system on a simple json repeater that anyone could code in a day. If you're going to be minimalist, be minimalist. Don't graft on facebookisms for no reason. Usenet, BBSes and message forums thrived for decades without "followers".
   
   Almost all of the things Nostr lists as "disadvantages" of ActivityPub are also true for nostr. There's no incentive to host a relay. There's no incentive to post on unpopular relays. Relay owners are still amateurs and/or dictators. When relays go down, messages and/or content are still lost forever.
   
   Most damning, just a day or so after Alex deploys an ActivityPub to nostr bridge, there's already serious talk by nostr developers about shared blocklists and relay blacklists for those who follow "problematic" people or share "problematic" content. Meet the new censors, same as the old censors.

     @RetardedServantOfChrist @theorytoe @silverpill Also, since it's made by crypto fans, there will be an inevitable "nostrcoin" (that they premined the fuck out of) that will be integrated with everything to provide "incentives".

     Nostards aren’t crypto fans, they’re specifically Bitcoin maxis. If you mention another coin here you will be btfo’d.

     @614aee83d7eaffc7bc6bbf02feda0cc53e7f97eeceac08a897c4cea3c023b804 @caekislove @theorytoe @RetardedServantOfChrist Right, they are Bitcoin maxis. But the network is growing and people from other crypto communities are coming too. If this trend continues, Nostr will be flooded with all kinds of shitcoin opportunists.
     Expect drama of cosmic proportions.

     @caekislove @silverpill I am thinking about if eventually normie users are going to concentrate on a few relays which will start banning people and anybody that is trying not to be banned everywhere will end up running their own relay for themself. and the network will be centralized except where it's ad-hoc p2p basically the worst of everything

     I don’t think it’s going to work out that way. It’s different than Twitter or fedi because there isn't one particular person to cry to if someone posts something they find offensive. The culture rn is also cryptard libertarian which is a good start in terms of ensuring there will always be some relays that allow free speech.

     @bot @caekislove @silverpill my feeling is that the resistance to censorship is going to be found to be illusory

     No, just fundamentally. There probably will be a divide sort of like how things are here, but people will still have the choice to see what they want.

     A lot of fedi’s userbase is cancer.
