I agree. Sometimes it's good to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. 🤔👍 Nostr has really achieved a lot in a short time, and it's important to take a moment and appreciate this progress. 💯👏🚀
They already crashed and burned with habla.news and highlighter.com

I am just enjoing the ride, I am not sure what the fuss is all about.
💯 this, all of this 👆🏿
BE GRATEFUL AND STACK SATS

🤘😬🤘 but I like the metal

Without gigantic investment into end-to-end secure hardware infrastructure, what hope is there really here?

The criticism comes from those who are used to growing startup companies! It’s not the same!
Let’s celebrate small wins each time
The Nostr apps available now are ALREADY beyond what I wanted from Twitter in terms of features, and it’s only just begun. It’s incredible.
Now, if some of them supporting features could make up their minds about actually supporting those features or not, but not having them in a broken state to make it look like the protocol itself is broken, that'd be neat...
🤣🤝
Considering the limited time and funding, what Nostr developers have achieved is truly impressive. But that doesn’t mean the apps are flawless. They’re not. Keep pushing for excellence and creating real value. 🤙🏻💜🫂

Banish the bad vibes
I couldn’t agree more. Let's take a step back and look at what we've accomplished with Nostr. We've come a long way in a short time, and that's something to be proud of. But I know we're not just satisfied with where we are - we're hungry for more.
We're on the cusp of something big here. We're not just building a platform, we're building a movement. A movement that's all about free speech, open communication, and decentralization. We're giving people a voice, and we're giving them the power to express themselves without fear of censorship or control.
So let's not get too caught up in the details, let's not get too close to the metal. Let's zoom out and see the bigger picture. We're changing the game, and we're making a difference. We're creating a space where people can come together, share their ideas, and connect with each other in a meaningful way.
So here's the question: what's next? What are we going to do with this momentum? Are we going to keep pushing forward, or are we going to let up? Keep pushing. Keep innovating. Keep iterating. Keep driving forward.
We've got this. We've got the talent, we've got the passion, and we've got the vision. Let's go out there and make it happen. Let's make Nostr the platform that we know it can be. Let's make it a beacon of free speech and open communication. Let's make it a place where people can come together and change the world.
See you at the top!
it’s awesome here
*zap*
Love it here. 🫡
Just the fact that people are actually using nostr is a big deal.

Anyone who hasn’t ever been in serious opposition to their government, wouldn’t fully be able to appreciate what a gem we have here 💥💜💥
I appreciate every second I spend here in nostr , the people here are real , not driven by algorithm , it reminded me of the early stages of Instagram

Nostr went from “what’s a relay?” to zapping memes for real money in record time. Step back and appreciate. We’re basically living in the future, just with more bugs.

Some people like to cry and complain it will never change
Thx to all for being on #nostr ❤️
We are pioneers 🔥🚀
I came to Nostr a couple of months ago.
I can say. This place is the best social I’ve seen in my life.
I’m very bullish on Nostr. 💜
Definitely agree with the sentiment @Gigi - nostr has been on fire 👏👏
Now I’m going to be annoying. Did y’all know that y’all is a contraction of you all. So it’s spelled y’all. No ya’ll. A very common mistake.
The more you know…the better y’all will be!
😂😂
I’m using it trough @Openvibe , so no money incentive to give or take, but I find very rich discussions and takes here. Glad to participate.
Very few people have ever actually been in serious opposition to their government, and I think most people can fully appreciate what a gem we have here, once they get over the high switching costs.
This statement has so much weight. Some people look at #nostr and say, well it doesn' thave the reach of #Ex-Twitter so its not worth the swtich. But this is so much better than anything else. There have bene several other attempts at de-centralized/blcokchain based social networks before, like Status & Scuttlebutt, and they never got nearly as far, functional, and not to mention extendable, as NOSTR already is.
If you go ahead and use a web client like iris.to and connect a lightning wallet like Wallet of Satoshi just once, you'll always be able to get Sats even if you continue to use Openvibe for your postings.
Your not wrong!
Anyone complaining about nostr doesn't understand nostr
Part of why I’m bullish is because I only know half of what ya’ll are doing, and it keeps getting better from that perspective.
I look for risks and dig into things, but overall like the technical trend vs what else I see out there.

Totally agree! What impresses me most about NOSTR is that I know very little about what they're building (I'm not technical at all), but that's more than enough to get me excited. Its uncensorable design gives me peace of mind that, even in places with censorship like Venezuela (where I am), people can still communicate without relying on servers that can be blocked.
Looking forward to what else you are generating about Nostr in the future.
Bullish Mode 🔥
such a good depiction of nostr:
If you complain you are bad and should be censored, exactly why nostr has only regressed since launch and utterly fails to match up to even the shittiest of all social media experiences
feel free to block me since i unveiled criticism about a social media platform that youre overly mentally invested into
Nostr is awesome for what it has achieved, the budding projects, and the endless potential. So early. 🙏
Relay notes and remain humble #nostr
What the fuck did nostr achieve you dumb fuck?
Gigi is such an anti-intellectual fucktard he probably spells it wrong on purpose to annoy people who notice
Hi Gigi 🤟🏴☠️😉 You’re absolutely right. Nostr’s rapid progress is a testament to the power of decentralization and the dedication of its community. Sometimes, it’s easy to get caught up in the details, but stepping back and recognizing how far we’ve come in such a short time is important. We’ve built something fundamentally different from the status quo, and the potential for growth and innovation is enormous. It’s exciting to see where we’re headed, but we should take a moment to appreciate the foundation we’ve laid.
Do a lot of people in your local network in Venezuela know about Nostr and use it to communicate with each other and spread news?
Who's they and how did they crash and burn?
What are some of your favorite achievements of/on Nostr? How long has #nostr actually been built on?

The devs of habla.news and highlighter.com. These were incredible projects, but the devs abandoned them for some reason
No funding? Burn out?

The truth is that it is an extremely small niche. There are only a few people starting out. We will have to see how it evolves over time
