I think currently this stands true but it’s not unsolvable. Demand for new social media platforms is arising. Especially given the fact many countries are looking to require ID for social media as well as limit consumption by legal means. Not to mention the censorship issue everyone is becoming increasingly aware of. If Jack Dorsey for instance began promoting a new client with a killer user experience, the ability to chose your algorithm etc on social media as a sponsored campaign I think it would really start kicking off.

Of course we need to flatten the learning curve while still keeping the platform decentralised and redundant. Before this is done though we need to implement a tried and tested set of protocols to deal with the security issues Nostr faces. I was supposed to be publishing a paper this week but I’m very ill on holiday so it might be delayed. Give us a follow for updates - and also because I’m trying to get followers because Nostr isn’t very fun if nobody hears you!


I know you’re quite busy today, as am I but when you have time check out my post from 3 weeks ago on this:

There’s quite a few of these alternative social media platforms being advertised on mainstream social media, ironically. This one reminded me of Nostr a little.

It’s clear that the public wants to break free from social media and move onto something without an algorithm that’s not feeding you propaganda constantly. It’s interesting to see how they’re pushing the “verifiable” claims though, whatever that means.

I’m not in the slightest part interested in their platform but I think it serves as an important reminder that Nostr could work for the general public and they ARE interested, we just need to streamline the user experience a little to remove the barrier to entry and then shout about it.
