As a newcomer, a big downside to Nostr is everyone talks about Bitcoin and Nostr. It feels like a world inhabited by bots instead of people - bots who can&#39;t come up with an original product name. 2023-10-09T16:03:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0zakuvcr730capl680ln0v3jutg2y5a6ref4466tsendq6at2rhgzyrmcs6uazh88f7hsda6pl4h3zfakt54enrkq76ac29qx4jq9h9xxvupea3x This is one of the coolest things I&#39;ve ever seen.<br/><br/>ssh bit@whisper.onthewifi.com 2023-10-01T01:31:23Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsg2w0z4jtmshtmkgrtat9aurttuvr53r7uwlzzz6drqmlsluc5rrqzyrmcs6uazh88f7hsda6pl4h3zfakt54enrkq76ac29qx4jq9h9xxvpf9emn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszsnrrgchx2gy2g5j6xqs9p0ewlqty9s6agq67wnjmm2k829ja92g5ea9f3'>nevent1q…a9f3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I only just got it going and then had some issues with my hosting configuration.

In the last year I&#39;ve delved into:<br/>- the small but thriving BBS scene<br/>- small/indie web<br/>- pubnixes<br/>- Gemini protocol<br/>- (the long-lived) IRC<br/>...and now Nostr (sorry, but Mastodon doesn&#39;t interest me).<br/><br/>The culture here is very different from other places. The most striking difference is the push toward new tech vs efforts to make old tech more accessible and usable. This new decentralized tech competes with and expands on web 2.0, but has the same premise of how we connect with each other. Other experiences like web 1.0 and Gemini encourage you to discover, and take in information deliberately and slowly.<br/><br/>Another significant difference here is the emphasis on currency and economy (value for value), where other communities have intentionally isolated from any commercialism or exchange of value. Many on Gemini/small web are anarchist or communist, where Nostr seems very free market. I see value in both regarding how information is shared, but after living with web 2.0 social media so long, I enjoy an experience where content is just content for sake of expression, not content to produce results or create engagement.<br/><br/>Nostr seems like a wonderfully messy evolution and competitor to X, with a growing ecosystem by many passionate people. I&#39;m glad it exists and enjoy how it&#39;s pushing new ideas. Yet there is still a part of me that has a greater rush in the exploration of a Gemini capsule, a personal web page, or a BBS forum or chat room, where every connection feels meaningful and every experience is unique. I would love to see ways that new technology could help foster such experiences of community and individual expression. 2023-09-28T17:55:16Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsx4ctzq4p855p3dr2ttlg9zamxjex5f7yew308tkxcersx4tmlycqzyrmcs6uazh88f7hsda6pl4h3zfakt54enrkq76ac29qx4jq9h9xxvumtpr4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrkttttmzf464enlsul7wq9a5h92xlmvk4gulxeupmlxd45t3lr9qv6vuux'>nevent1q…vuux</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well put. There are a lot of great things that could be said about Gemini. There are a few places you can interact and comment now though! Check out bbs.geminispace.org or station.martinrue.com.<br/>Also, curious, what’s SSB? Single side band? 2023-09-28T14:42:04Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvxmrxvkmz987gx46y750sapa6lmzmvzna639f446fk7qs7sayl4gzyrmcs6uazh88f7hsda6pl4h3zfakt54enrkq76ac29qx4jq9h9xxv3yk9uk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxz0v5w6ctfkf8k8l00avpkx50h4sngegmx085aetqchtt20cf7rgdv3pp4'>nevent1q…3pp4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Okay, it might be working now 2023-09-28T05:35:21Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfed7la7azwxex6q6l8n2dth5mjhu7lwtuzpwxzvkant46fuwxycszyrmcs6uazh88f7hsda6pl4h3zfakt54enrkq76ac29qx4jq9h9xxvpp6ack My initial impression of Nostr is that it&#39;s an echo chamber of people talking about crypto. 2023-09-28T01:13:48Z
