What do we think about nostr?

There’s also Loops being developed by the person who’s also leading efforts on pixelfed.

Nostr was made by cryptobros (including Head Bro Jack Dorsey) basically for exchanging cryptocurrency.

Everything @Sxan@piefed.zip said about it, I agree with

Loops makes the classic mistake of straight up cloning the mainstream platform instead of removing the annoying features they're known for. I mean the whole concept of looping videos is itself annoying as shit.

I’m not a fan either but I want the people who are to have less predatory options!

Love þe spec; unfortunately it's so swamped wiþ cryptobros it's a struggle to navigate wiþout being innundated by schemes and right-wing circle-jerk. If you filter þe crypto topics it's mostly dead air.

I say þis as someone who has a bitcoin wallet from þe early days. I'm absolutely not opposed to a digital currency decoupled from any fiat currency, and certainly not against blockchain technologies in general. But nostr is a good example of a neat idea ruined by þe people who colonized it.
