I do not know. Is that John Carvalo (sp?)

Yes. The story is this: After the launch of BCash Roger Ver went on John's podcast. John got Roger so pissed off by continually calling BCH 'BCash' Roger lost it, gave John the bird and left the stream. Took all of 15 minutes if I remember right. Roger then released a video apologizing to his fans. We can laugh at Roger but he is a pretty level headed public speaker and John just got under his skin and stayed there. I was really surprised Roger did that tbh. Anyway, the picture is from that stream and John's head has been placed over Roger's. The shoe does seem to be on the other foot.

Does it? I criticized nostr and now everyone is retaliating. Just like i criticized Roger and he retaliated. Shouldnt it be an ostrich face in the meme or whatever? It is the same situation. Not a reversal. I am not the one making things personal. Like, Roger, nostr is taking criticism of their protocol personally. "Ncash" is ironic, not witty...

I missed the original podcast and John’s criticism of nostr. I wonder about the resource costs of nostr as a function of number users, but I have no framework for thinking about this. Also, a general observation I’ve made having been in bitcoin since July 2010: the flatter the affect and the more Asperger-y the vibe, the lower the probability of being wrong. @Luke Dashjr is a good example. If JC has a criticism, it’s well worth thinking carefully about. No offense…

Don't have a dog in this fight but my impression is that @Big Bad John is using ragebate marketing tactics to promote his products. I can't imagine this is too successful on a network like #Nostr but who knows.

Nostr: where noting design flaws is seen as ragebaiting because nostr kids cant handle anything but circlejerking.

As best I can tell, it comes from this question filled detail free post: View quoted note → And to be honest, these are standard questions on most always ask about everything to reason about its future. But considering a question doesn’t make its premise true. And I’m not at all convinced the direction of the argument implied but not stated in his questions is true. And he wasn’t trying to convince anyone of anything. He was just reminding people how to think.

lol…humans gonna has da feels…but a sober discussion of design flaws is, imho, welcome for any software. To me it all comes down to costs. Are they reasonable at scale or not? I dunno.

I would try your social media but A) I suspect that due to minimal network effect there is no one there I'd be interested in following. B) Since I logged out of X six months ago and am only sporadically on #Nostr I realize my life is better. What I really need is a dumb pipe of #Bitcoin news and related news like what @No Bullshit Bitcoin was. I feel like social media has gone the way of cable news, drama for drama's sake requiring major time and effort to get anything of substance.
