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

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.

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.

"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"
