@BeAware I think I'm starting to be done with it too. There are so many problems with #nostr.

* Excessive network usage - over 10x compared to mastodon
* Relays auto-deleting old posts
* No actual blocking implemented - only client side
* Post editing doesn't always work
* Notifications getting lost between clients
* No moderation for scammers or trolls
* Unable to block people from following
* Metadata leaks - like everyone knows who you muted

The whole protocol feels broken.

@BeAware I'm starting to feel that way about #nostr. I'm struggling to find anyone with similar views as me there.

Just saw a post on how #nostr reveals your blocklist to everyone. Ppl champion that as some sort of feature to be desired and tbh I find the idea utterly gross.

Ppl block for safety, for security, for personal reasons. Demanding that their choices of who to interact with be made the subject of public review and comment seems super privileged and gross.

I am against this, utterly.

Fediverse, what are your thoughts on Nostr? I've been using it for a few days now and I frankly like its capabilities more than activitypub for a few reasons:

1. I am not at the mercy of any one server admin for my account to be held without self hosting.

2. The clients are much more diverse

3. You can do a lot more with a single Nostr account and client (using Amethyst allows you to participate in group chats, DMs, a marketplace to buy things, live streams, etc without accounts on multiple servers running multiple different backends)

4. Speaking of DMs, they're encrypted on Nostr aside from metadata.

5. Zaps are a super cool integration

6. A little bonus: I can view most of the mastodon accounts I follow on there anyways thanks to the mostr.pub bridge.

That's probably where I will be both posting and viewing mainly from here, but I'm curious how people on Mastodon view Nostr as well. To me it seems like it accomplishes what ActivityPub wants to while being a little less centralized and adding better functionality to clients.

Was curious and just checked out Nostr, lol, what a cesspool. With some very careful curating you might be able to get an ok feed there, but I certainly didn't in my quick dive in. Yet another example how Mastodon really is "best in class" as far micro-blogging platforms go these day. #nostr #cryptobros #socialmedia #mastodon

Looking for a truely open, permissionless and neutral protocol for social? #nostr

After one month on https://primal.net/p/npub13lwl6mn9g5jz8czr8sr2wg2z9hd49nlxhxs7u007eju4llm9nktsy6rngu I have 1 follower who is likely my account from bridging to the Fediverse.... when i joined my account auto followed over 200 mostly #bitcoinbrows... this is not a good experience so far #nostr

The #TikTok ban should be a wakeup call on how easily the government can censor centralized social media platforms. That's why I invest in censor proof technology in #Web3 and decentralized protocols like #Nostr and #ActivityPub.

It's interesting how #nostr has AI bots replying to posts.
