If the nostr critics on X actually used nostr enough to understand it, they would understand why their criticisms sound so ridiculous to the point that they wouldn’t hold those criticisms at all.

It is an X Twatter, it has ceased to be
What criticisms are they using other than network effect (“nobody is there”)?
🫂💯
“Relays are not decentralized enough.” “CEO of any Nostr company can also be arrested just like Telegram.” “Hard to find anyone. Not active enough.” Those are some I’ve come across.
“relays are not decentralized enough” sent from a twitter account 🫠
Lol who said that
💯🤣
These are common criticisms I’ve seen over and over. But the thread in particular from today is from Parker Lewis about CEOs being arrested 😂😂
It's really hard to think their criticisms are normal and self motivated. Each time I see their complaints it looks more like a paid chill than anything else.
💯 I can only assume the hidden incentives driving their comments are self serving.
Hi, I'm new here!
Is this the right Nostr place - decentralized social media app?
Asking because I couldn't find an actual Nostr app.
Secondly, this looks exactly like Twitter/X. What's new or different besides decentralization?
Thanks in advance!

These are some of the nostr apps.

There are better looking people here.
that nostr is a protocol and decentralized.
with that said, the next app could be a decentralized discord built on nostr protocol, or a telegram built on nostr protocol or why not an Instagram built on nostr protocol.
This is a platform build on top of Nostr protocol. Like gmail build on top of SMTP.
WHO WILL RUN THE WEB SERVERS
What's new? Two big things are: No adds, no algorithm. You only get who you chose to follow / engage
Welcome. You're definitely in the right place.
And decentralized and uncensorable is the feature.
Dont spend your time and energy building relationships on an app that can be taken from you by the stroke of a key just because you said something someone doesn't like.
This is the Freedom of Speech protocol
Hello and welcome, not sure what app you are on but it’s working on the nostr protocol so yes it’s the right one. There are tons of different apps that run on nostr and new ones coming out all the time, play around with it, post notes of stuff you like, follow people that post cool stuff, and don’t be shy. Enjoy. 😊
I wonder when the platforms will start spinning up bots to increase positive, fun engagement for their human users in hopes of better retention, like what some online video games do when the user base is lackluster.
Since finding out about Nostr, I’ve been thinking of an Instagram style app or an even a TikTok style app built on it. This protocol is cool
Or even websites
that I can zap you, bitch. 😇 get your wallet in order.

Yes.
Same is true for Linux critics over the last 15 years.
Romans, plebs, more plebs and more plebs.

The psychopaths will.
Tomorrow is the day I start with that too.
WHO WILL BUILD THE CARS 
Welcome
I'd do it. It's not even that hard.
Are the CEOs the client devs or the relay operators? Are they in the room with us now?
YOU HAD ME AT RETARDED.
It’s ok, I’ll just use another relay then ☺️
My memes will live forever.

Same with the Bitcoin critics... 🤔😆🤪🤡

Who will run deez nuts?
‘If this is the first time running a node, you have to fight!’
WHO WILL CARRY THE BOATS
Fiat arguments
MY DAUGHTER WILL BUILD THE DAMN ROADS 
Who will groom our blackmailed politicians?
Who will fake our elections?
Who will protect the drug cartels?
Who will engineer our consent?
Who will delete our posts?
Who will traffic our children?
Do we consider this sort of thing a legitimate concern though. I think it's wrong because the client is not the relay but does it have any legitimacy at all as a concern?
Mesma logica disso aqui:

Can you send her to London sharpish, please.
this is the way.
Proof that once their hands & feet can reach the controls farm kids are immediately put to work.
And this one will build the schools. We got this guys. Just keep making shit 💪
As a former farm kid, just be sure to square them away on rollover risks, restraining belts, augers and PTO’s. My Dad had me all over the county on a 1950’s era Massey as soon as I was old enough, and I was fine. But I did lose a cousin to a rollover. He got thrown from the seat when he ran a tire up over some pallets and his head ended up between the roll bar and the driveway.
Yeah roll bars only work if you wear your belt. Better off without the bar if you don't wear it.
My Ag teacher loved to tell the story of a local kid who had both his arms sanded off by a round bailer. He was clearing a jam, and the PTO kicked in without warning. Since his wounds were abrasive we was able to walk a couple miles for help without bleeding out.
Will do, thank you. We definitely preach and practice the risks and take everything in baby steps. She won't be operating this thing for a number of years, I imagine, and will make sure she's ready. Sorry about your cousin 🫂
I think it’s awesome that they are getting an opportunity to learn how to work and have responsibilities early on. I had the best childhood and so much freedom growing up on a farm. Shooting, driving, and vanishing for hours into the bush. That and lots of hard work.
💯, trying to get them addicted to the real world and real work vs the screen
You’re raising an entire gov’t in your house, haven’t you Andrew?? 😁
We'll build that too if we need to! 😄
Love your enthusiasm.
