New platforms usually grow through influencer momentum driven by innovating new way of doing things. Simply throwing people with large followings into Nostr won’t work. We’ve seen this already. There has to be a reason for them to stick around and for their audience. Otherwise the network effects of the places they are coming from are too strong.

This is why I don’t think blue sky will last in the long run. It looks like every other social platform but a little different. They have a good amount of hype and momentum but ultimately not selling anything new. As soon as the big following people get tired, so will their followers. They are not coming for the new experience but escaping for ideological reasons.

In that respect Nostr probably has better chances long term but we have other issues plus all of the issues bluesky has.

Happy to be wrong on this.

Zaps generate an energy layer for the Nostr network.

Cashu tokens have less power projection capabilities compared to lightning transfers. So nutzaps should count for less than lightning zaps when measuring the energy content in a network.

How large does a circlejerk need to be before it's classified as a sex cult?

Small relays can trade off speed to focus on quality. Focusing on execution speed trades off flexibility/maintainability. Which, in a space where user preferences are constantly shifting, is a death sentence.

I've started to zettelkast in obsidian and this is way better than shitposting on Nostr.

Good morning ✌️🧡
