The past few days, I have been heavily experimenting with Nostr as another alternative to centralized services. And, I am honestly impressed by just how good it is. The protocol is quite simple and works very fast.
However, the almost constant bugging of the integration with idontcarecoins is a little annoying. Easy to ignore, but still always there.
What do you think about Nostr? Have you tried it?
This is developed by people completely oblivious to the fact that social networking is primarily not a technical but a social problem. Thus to be honest: complete waste of time. But I guess if you want to communicate with a lot of crypto-coin scammers it is a good solution right now /s
My biggest gripe with cryptobros is that they have built some actually good tech; like IPFS. But then they ruin it with their coins. Filecoin, seriously?.. That said, the sheer protocol of Nostr is actually damn impressive. But man is it verbose (but not as stepp as I thought) to get into… Still, a social network is made and broken by its community. At present, Nostr is the latter.
