Not to mention the app collects data from you 🫠 how is this a competition
Why does any secure platform use email still? The protocol literally cannot be encrypted......
WHY WOULD ANY OPEN SOCIAL PLATFORM STILL REQUIRE EMAIL, WHAT IS THIS? THE MIDDLE AGES? 😂
Curious so I looked at it from youtube. Looks like a nice UI. They say 80,000 users. Who knows. I will never go there, but I do like nice looking interfaces. Groups, features look nicely done. Pub/Priv keys? Doubt it. And garbage Etherium.
Well, every day I see at least one note with users requesting nostr sign up with email/password... We still have a lot of education work to do
Nooooo, I NEED to send Mark Andreessen a thumbs up or at least 0.005 ether for the work he’s doing!!!1
Wow, wanted to try it and the android app is completly unusable. Every part of the sign up had multiple bugs. It crashed or hung multiple times and I didn't even make it past the account creation. Fucking trainwreck.

It’s really staggering how little mETHheads give a shit about opsec
I saw a shitcoiner sign up. They want to get an airdrop from it, it will issue coins.
The ALL CAPS has me chuckling to myself this morning. The commitment is quite impressive. Carry on.
2023 was the end of my providing an email for anything ... Nostr or nothing fuckers (*maybe*... open to alt decen comms) My dentist was confused

Even ETH's most ardent supporters acknowledge the centralizing tendencies that have emerged following the switch to PoS. ETH will pay the price for taking the climate change bait about PoW.

Fucking aye, eth and email requiring is pathetic. Freedom!!!! 💪💪💪💪💪
I took several more steps to try it out. Their main client Warpcast doesn't work at all if you try creating an account using a seedphrase. Maybe because I'm on Mullvad. I tried another client, Flink.fyi. if you create an account here you can't port it over to the VC backed Warpcast. Flink is barely usable. Supercast is another client that requires you to login using Warpcast. Farcaster is a clown show.
