SN or Nostr for good ideas and texts?

I've been using Nostr more lately and I caught myself thinking that it and SN are relatively similar when it comes to sharing content and large texts. Nostr is a protocol and has many more applications than just posting texts, while SN is strictly for sharing ideas and information, with some extra tools like bounties and surveys. SN keeps content for longer, unlike a relay which can delete your content. The "selection" of content by sats already discourages bad posts (like this one) and rewards the good ones. Speaking of sharing content and ideas, what is the advantage of one over the other?

my intuition tells me that SN is for crafting and experimenting, like a thinktank, whole nostr is for broadcasting the final well-crafted message; for now, there is better consistency of participation on SN; both come with trade-offs and require constant learning; while my focus is on SN content, the other teammates are building out influence on nostr; i may be wrong, yet that's how i see it atm;

I think different about it, for me SN demands more well-crafted final messages while Nostr accepts anything.

what's the correct thing to do in order to spread the high-signal message far and wide? i don't care about the zaps, i need more eyes on the content; i am looking forward to having great language translators or a translating feature;

The main difference, other than bitcoin/pay-to-post/sybil-resistance/incentives stuff, is that SN is a commons, a "global feed" only. Nostr's paradigm largely revolves around follow-based relationships for the time being which has pros and cons for content sharing and ideas.
In general, I think follow-based social media is primarily suited toward building brands and influence on the basis of identity, and consuming content that's largely weighted by identity. Commons-based social media operates on the basis of content. Identities and content can bloom in either environment, but in different proportion imo.1
Content is atomic in either environment though, so afaict there's no reason you can't post in both and get both experiences, the good and the bad.

Footnotes

  1. Personally, I think identity-focused social media is toxic and the locus of all that's damaging about social media. On the other hand, for people who're motivated by identity gain, or prefer to think about people rather than ideas, follow-based social media has little alternative online. ↩

I’m trying post in booth and reception here SN is more enjoyable. But Nostr accepts more kind of thoughts than here, because you have to pay-to-post, so it’s better pay for a thing that worth.
I’m sawing that kind of issue about identity-focused in WoT proposal, because it is based on followers network, not in good content. A thing so basic like followers in a protocol like Nostr looks like waste of energy to me.
