we’re slowly seeing the impact of being the product There’s too much slop and the antidote to slop is money coming out of your pocket Advertisers and social networks are in for a rude awakening

have learned a lot and will be applying the nostr principles into the work I'm doing now lots to do

very odd journey here, copy/pasting from another reply I had: I was trying to build B2B saas / consumer insights tool because the current stuff is really outdated, that forced me to figure out how to work with twitter/meta/reddit etc and their terrible (nonexistent) developer relations teams and zero API that devs can actually use, that put me down a legal and spiritual journey of "who actually owns this content?", that eventually led me to looking for alternatives around the same time bluesky launched publicly, I then learned about the AT protocol because I was curious about how it worked, I then went looking for other protocols and found nostr, I ended up liking everything about it more than atproto, and now I'm here

there appears to be some lore I'm not familiar with; I saw some arguments on my feed about similar things a few days ago but felt out of the loop lol appreciate the info

Interesting, I actually did have to do that - was really confused when onboarding at the start

how has retention been so far? are the same folks still here? just curious

that's awesome, glad you're here!

you heard of bitchat before nostr? that's cool copy/pasting from another reply I had for my story: I was trying to build B2B saas / consumer insights tool because the current stuff is really outdated, that forced me to figure out how to work with twitter/meta/reddit etc and their terrible (nonexistent) developer relations teams and zero API that devs can actually use, that put me down a legal and spiritual journey of "who actually owns this content?", that eventually led me to looking for alternatives around the same time bluesky launched publicly, I then learned about the AT protocol because I was curious about how it worked, I then went looking for other protocols and found nostr, I ended up liking everything about it more than atproto, and now I'm here

how'd you find it?

I feel like I'm one of the few people that found nostr in a way that DOES NOT involve bitcoin.. anyone else?
