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.
