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.

Luckily nostr is building beyond social media, cos I suspect 'social media' doesn't last much longer 🤞
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.
I usually say "re-invent the future" but it would've destroyed the subtweet
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
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?
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).

Excited for what the future holds for nostr and us 🤓
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
