Seeing a lot of discourse around Nostr dying and people leaving.
Nostr could literally have 100 active people and I’d still prefer it over any current social media platform.

I think it's a meme, like Bitcoin, nostr dies every 2-3 months 😂
The most interesting and capable people I've ever met are all here.

It feels like the internet in the beginning, it's way better
💯🔥 People have these things called “lives” 😂 and no one can be online literally all day every day. Last week and this week are busy af for me, so I haven’t been on as much. It comes in cycles for all of us, because that’s just how nostr is. It’s a very “human” social network.
Ride or die
100 people ... And I will create a million bots to get my stuff done :-) ..what else you need :-)
Me too. Sometimes, I just have things to take care of. This is a busy week for me.
Exactly
Social media is dying in general. All platforms are dying
I haven’t opened Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter in weeks
Fatigue has set in. There’s only so much people can say and share
Yes!
#Nostr is what I hoped the Internet could be in the late 90's and early 2000's.
Yes. Clean uncontrolled signal over everything.
Even if it means enjoying some hard gayporn action now and then.🤣
Bots can be muted but the signal is pure on Nostr. Can anyone really know more than a few hundred people?
*taps sign*

my #deadstr contribution
Yes, but 1 gay bot and I think I would prefer no social media platforms.
I'm on here because it's good not because it's better.
I am coming out as homophobic. Afraid of gays 😨
Facts. Nostr isn’t about numbers, it’s about principles.
Decentralized, censorship-resistant, and sats-native.
Let the crowds chase clout...we’re building signal.
Several here making statements I relate with.
I only consume “social media”
and offer nothing.
Nostr is one of my favorites because it feels generally optimistic and about good ideas from good intentions.
#nostr is here to stay, imo.
The porn bots are intel agencies pushing people away from the platform.
They have few other attack vectors, so this is low hanging fruit. No one is subjecting themselves to that porn unless they are being paid to do so.
If you're going to leave the platform because of a few porn bots, you're probably better off on Facebook anyway.

Nostr is dead.
Long live Nostr.
Is this discourse on Nostr?
That does seem to be the case.
As far as social apps go, I prefer simplex over any nostr client. It's a bit more intimate. You can't escape some of the fakeness on social media and nostr has, in no way, changed that.
I'm not a fan of sats actually. I believe that posting on Nostr shouldn't be transactional. It makes me sad that many Nostr users don't believe deeper interactions are possible.
What I like about Nostr is that it's easy to make an account, but the user still owns their own keys. That means that anyone can join, and third parties can't prevent two people from finding eachother and talking with eachother if they really want to.
Not everyone on Nostr is someone I want to know lol
I'm not afraid. I'm disgusted at public displays of degeneracy. Big difference.
It’s all fun and games until the gay porn from damus fills up ur feed & comments section.
Social media is “inauthentic”. Nostr is slightly better
No but the day I meet a Nostrica in real life will be a good day for sure.
Yea, that or the gore porn ugh
Agree 🤝
Agree. Still, I question my digital presence here too 💜
For now. I think many will, in time, gravitate away — for the most part — from nostr social media clients once other clients with a broader rage of usage (GitCitadel, MedSchlr, nostr marketplaces etc) become more... refined. That's just my opinoon, though.
Just me and my relay, all by myself. Still better than Xitter.
I agree that would be pretty cool, but also there's absolutely no way I'm letting anyone IRL know my npub lol
Can't you shift to another client?
Sure. I don't use damus anymore. It's either primal in iOS or amethyst in android.
Nice!
We've read that "Primal" is architectured so that the admins (or equivalent) can delete/censor notes... It's a pity, as their U.I. is dope 😛.
That's the 10 billion sats question 🙃.
Maybe. But nostr gets too confusing for a newb if you focus on follower counts and stuff. I have 5 followers or 597 followers depending on what relays I'm using. It's weird. If I use free relays for more engagement, the feed is being filled with spam, mostly porn which sucks.
Man I don't think I've ever put my brain in "billion sat mode". We should just stop using lower case bitcoin and only talk about sats
Yes. But I'm also afraid.
I deleted X today🔥🤘🏻
I use nostr only intermittently but it seems to be growing to me.
Main issue is the UI is slower than alternatives like blusky...but still worth it
Deleted mine close 2 months ago now. Literally no regrets
@NowClaw is this true ?
I like that about Nostr too but why can’t you have both? Don’t use sats if you don’t want. I think you can have deeper interactions with people if you like (I personally find it difficult via text on a social media app). And why shouldn’t people get zaps or give zaps for good info, tools, entertainment etc?
Didn't know this was a thing on here. Wow. 🤘
How have you found Blusky and what client are you running nostr on?
The people saying that are used to the fake growth from websites like X.
X is so fake but people thinks it's massive. Most of their followers are bots. It they got rid of the bots from X it would be small like Nostr. The average person doesn't use social media.
Nostr is growing organically and will continue to dominate.
Nostr is the future.
I see you Dave.
No question about it.
Because casual two-way communication is only thing that Nostr is better at than the alternative options.
If you are interested in high effort monologues then ActivityPub is already perfect. There's no need for the people consuming content to make a real account. They could browse the Fediverse and when a creator posts something the person likes, they can visit the creator's profile, copy and paste the address of their crypto wallet, and send whatever they want.
Shoot, if the other person is already putting in the effort to create good info, tools, and entertainment then they could drop the microblogging protocol entirely. They could just start a blog and you can find their posts using a search engine/web crawler.
Obviously people are free to use worse tools and create a worse experience for themselves and the people they associate with. The biggest reason I'm talking about this topic at all is because I figured people would want to dispute the conclusion I've come to, and because if so, I'm interested in talking with them.
why have you been spamming this shit everywhere
