literally any group of people could have gotten nostr off the ground. Bitcoiners are insufferable and are only holding nostr back at this point, this is coming from a bitcoin maxi, bitcoin core and cln dev. People who are calling me a shitcoiner just because they think nostr is only for bitcoiners are retarded.

Bitcoiners happen to be the only group of people I see trying to recruit new users over here on the ole Twatter. So it's quite the conundrum I suppose.
Anytime I search or view hashtags for my other interests, they're non-existent. I make a daily sweep of 3-4 things hoping to be able to respond to someone to keep them engaged.
This take is so bad,
Bitcoiners took it upon themselves to join & keep this thing from dying.
What a bogus egomaniac dev take.
sadly there are a few nostr devs with borderline personality disorder but oh well, maybe y'all should not follow them and/or block them especially when they have takes like this
i see that about half my followers follow this guy, fuckin rock star, idk what y'all get from his verbiage
Gross note, bro
I am a maxi too, but I would bet money that bitcoiners on social media are on average more stupid than the general public. And I am only talking about critical thinking, if we are going to consider emotional or social intelligence, then the situation is dire.

Is it deliberate self-sabotage, the fear of Nostr being more than a bitcoin telegram group? Is it bitcoin tourettes? I think these are habitual behaviours brought over from bitcointwitter, (further intensifiednamd incentivised, unfortunately by the zapreward mechanism). But the sloganeering and the meme repetition makes little to no sense here, less so than on twitter where they can at least pretend they are 'doing something's to promote bitcoin.
And if you mention the many many complaints about this from users who leave nostr, the response is a self-agrandising 'they are normies man, they just don't get it, they're not ready for freedom, man' blah blah blah. No, the reality is people don't want to scroll through endless sloganeering. They say as much. They want other content, or just actually funny memes, or ...anything else. A lot of the nostrism are read as spam by outsiders. And a lot of them would actually want zaps, but the price of social media boredom is too high.
This is a bitcointwitter problem, I've said all of this before I'm sure lolol, but yeah I'm not convinced a lot of people here realise that twitter is bigger than bitcointwitter. Stop building bitcointwitter clones and catering to that crowd.
Imo imo imo
Nostr is not Bitcointwitter pt. 2
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And if it is can you let me know cos I'll just leave now lol.
I have no opinion, only here for the maxis' comments. for a man needs to laugh.
he's a big man, he can mute you by himself, i think technically he has no excuses why not if it bothers him that much
i wouldn't be here if it was bitcoin twitter pt 2
but the legacy is there, and i'll call it out whenever it really gets on my nerves, like now
