taco, bird/cat 
i tried signing up for Nostr and the webapps were so bad that i immediately wrote it off lmao
also the idea of being "uncensorable" should only appeal to idiots who want to say slurs 24/7 tbh
why is everyone on nostr obsessed with bitcoin. is anyone having a normal conversation on there
"jack dorsey wore a shirt and now bitcoin is at 50k!!!!!1!"
do you people ever ask how the weather is or anything
so what happens when people post illegal content on #nostr, do you just have that on your node forever? what about csam? 🤔
someone literally asked this question on reddit and all they got was a fucking shrug in the comments roflmao
https://www.reddit.com/r/nostr/comments/zxq8he/how_to_handle_illegal_data_on_nostr_relay/
so, running a nostr relay is just as bad, if not **worse** than running a tor exit node. :)
really good comment on nostr here (warning, hacker news):
Nostr "relay" nodes have no economic incentive to relay and store data.
Because of that, authors and readers of least popular opinions - which may be legal content that's censored elsewhere - are most likely to be easily identified and tracked.
No incentive to store data, no incentive to relay data, weak privacy, no censorship resistance, relay nodes may be legally responsible for knowingly relaying data from accounts censored by the rest of the network, etc.
For Nostr relay nodes it's like running a Tor Exit node where you may be the only exit node for illegal content.
And for users it's like using Tor to browse the Internet thinking your metadata isn't being captured, without knowing there's just 1 or 2 exit nodes out there.
There are no privacy and pseudo-anonymity advantages over "Twitter over Tor".
this is why i always see đźš© đźš© đźš© when people talk about "censorship-resistant" software that doesn't account for abuse vectors
"that's the freedom of open source, you get to handle how to deal with the potentially illegal content that could land you personally in jail! thank you for letting me say slurs on your bitcoin network"
- nostr users
"i hate centralized social media that tracks me wherever and whenever i go. that's why whenever someone tips me bitcoin on nostr there's a publicly traceable blockchain money trail that can be used in a court of law"
WISHSame concern here as well. I’m fearing it’s only a matter of time before the bad actors start using the open relays and abusing them.
This feels less to me like a shrug and more like a “don’t do this”. I genuinely wonder how little thought has gone into the Nostr protocol other than “Bitcoin cool”
@wish for sure, i think jack dorsey is blinded by bitcoin (again) and nobody recognizes how much of a legal nightmare this would be to actually host
@chirpbirb For sure. I’d say I pity Nostr node maintainers but. they knew what they were getting into
@chirpbirb …wait a fucking second Dorsey is affiliated with both Bluesky and Nostr? dear god
@wish YEAH LMAO
mx alex tax1a - 2020 (6)@chirpbirb @wish jack dorsey does three things: machine learning maximalism, bitcoin maximalism, and white supremacy maximalism. the joke is these are all the same thing
essollteskalierenPlenty of normal conversations going on there.
Quite possibly you'd have been disappointed by the early fediverse conversations lacking "normal content" as well, had you been there at the time.
@essollteskalieren i just opened up snort dot social again and it's filled with jack dorsey + bitcoin/cryptocurrency circlejerking and social media fearmongering. i'm not sure what normal conversations you're seeing.
also, i'm pretty sure early fediverse was not centered around catering to the bitcoin-pilled alt-right.
Yes, there are many people posting about Bitcoin on Nostr.
No, that does not mean, you can't follow people who mostly post about other topics on Nostr.
@essollteskalieren how am i supposed to discover what i want wading through this trending garbage? the explore tabs on any fediverse server have better content and suggestions other than ten different accounts shilling bitcoin
sirlan <( rawr )@chirpbirb twitter ass ui but with a coin counter because of course you need to constantly know how much fake money you have when looking at social media
Odoben@sirlan @chirpbirb wait what even is Nostr 
(other than presumably a play on the Latin word for "ours")
