Bad understanding of Nostr to position as “social media.”
Being social-media-obsessed is legacy thinking. Nostr is not about social media; it is all about re-imagining the web.

GM gigi 🫂 for me it feels like i can actively experience the 90s and this time i'm not wearing diapers 🤣
realtime P2P info exchange with PEERS without/optional archiving service
search is only centralized for now NIP50 by 3 to 5 admins for now
The twitter clone use case being the first probably is the most detrimental thing for nostr adoption
Well said.

Luckily nostr is building beyond social media, cos I suspect 'social media' doesn't last much longer 🤞
Freedom does not need to be redefined - Nostr
thinking of nostr as social-media is a laughable lack of appreciation or perspective for what is being built

The word “reimagine” is a tactic. It’s grandiose waffle (which is why management consultants love it). A meaningless word. Style over substance. A preference for what sounds good, versus what actually says something.
You had to be there.
Sound on

lmao I'm so pumped up right now
lol ok
Agree, can't be social media cause there's no huge enough relay 🥳
Re-think
I usually say "re-invent the future" but it would've destroyed the subtweet
At least it boosted attraction
Looking forward to 2025’s take 😂
Exactly. İt's a better way to build online spaces and services of all shapes and sizes.
Press the turbo button while playing Tetris 😎
The Social Media part is the marketing department

I'm not addicted to Nostr like I was all the others. I go days not looking at Nostr sometimes. Not because I find it boring but because I don't have algorithms manipulating my mind
Bullish on "Other Stuff"

To call Nostr social media is like calling http a webpage. We don't even know what it will become yet. I am excited to find out, are you?

Something a person with no imagination would say.
great memories 🧡🧡
I can't stop thinking about open manufacturing networks and nostr!
Then when are we gonna get something new & not just the same stuff we already have?
then the github repo is outdated or you just don't get it
I have nostr only.
When people ask me what social media I am on I say none.
#nostronly
#Nostr is the social web?
I guess we would all need to know the context the word is being used in... If it's about a person, place, thing or idea... Let's apply "reimagine" more to right side of the scale and lesser to the left of the scale (word list order, not political circular continuum order).
Well, I just got started! Give me a chance to get the nostr space command!
#Nostr is the social Spider, building his own new web.
Go off king
Excited for what the future holds for nostr and us 🤓
Love big visions, they're VERY compelling
TCP only is legacy thinking.
Remove the centralized DNS and add a reticulum network endpoint to each nostr relay.
Then transition away from the legacy web altogether
“Re-imagining” is not the best term to use. “Uncensorable” or “sovereign” perhaps?
P2P hashed documents (doctors, layers, journalists etc.)
Communications for entities like companies, schools, governments that can grant access for specific keys to access different parts of their data.
Event bookings and direct ticket sales !!! And all similar organizational tools including any P2P commerce, vendor reputation with web of trust !
