@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 had go block the word Bitcoin because it got so bad.

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

@BeAware Get out of my head!

His response basically told me all I need to know. He's a cryptobro, normies can't understand.

@BeAware Yeah, what happened there? I thought it was a hit?

@BeAware Honestly, I've resorted to posting on Openvibe.

@chiefgyk3d Just something you may want to be aware of, your posts are not being posted in order.

@BeAware Just a few.

Like an aipub.social is de federated from a lot of places because it's AI art.

And I have a Spanish one because there isn't a way to adjust languages on a single account.

Etc...

@BeAware Guilty. I have a few accounts. 😅

@BeAware I thought he stepped down from making those decisions?

@BeAware No option for the people who can't eat dairy 😭

@BeAware @AmericanScream Honestly, I was kind of on Reddit's side on the paid API change. They still have to make money and keep out bots. The mods making their subreddits private was kind of harmful to reddit, in general. So I wasn't at all suprised when admins stepped in.

@BeAware To be fair, there isn't a secret algorithm on bluesky. The algorithms are open and new ones can created by users.

Mastodon's the best, but at least it's sort of a step is the right direction.

@BeAware You are not wrong, I wonder if I should look into moving. I came to mastodon.online from another server because I follow Hank Green and The Onion from threads and like to see content from servers on a lot of people's blacklists like mastodon.cloud. I also want a server with manual or closed sign-ups to keep out the riff-raff.

@BeAware It's probably because of all the people complaining about how "difficult" it is to pick a server or something.

@liztai I imagine for good reason, too. It isn't just like any other corporate social media, it's a face for China. Profit isn't the only thing they are concerned about.

@liztai @justincox I'm guessing it is due to moderation policies, just going by the number of people complaining about being banned or having their comments removed.

@BeAware I remember the last time they had issues. They asked people to move to mastodon.online to help offset the congestion.

Since then they upgraded mastodon.social and closed new signups to mastodon.online for some reason.

@BeAware According to their super-secret discord it is because it is getting 2x the amount of traffic.
