Makes sense. I had been using Nitter to follow some accounts, but since that's no longer an option I've migrated to Nostr instead. Probably many others are doing the same.

Nitter was great, check on news and such without participating in the demon realm.

Yeah I miss it dearly. Honestly Twitter and Reddit aren't so bad so long as you're not forced into using their crappy apps. :'(

I thinkreddit will get rid of old.reddit.com soon, so it's going to be really shit. But i found an app on f-droid called stealth, check it out, it has a scrapping feature too so it might be future proof. No posting ability though.

I've had a profile set up via amethyst for a while, but decided to actually start using it, and put the key into Flamingo so it's here on my desktop too.
nostriches dgaf about AIs learning what wrongthink is. That's a bit further down the chain beyond everyone already being able to communicate with you.

Curious if you can use Nostr fundamentals for a Reddit replacement? I’ve never been a twitter guy but loved Reddit.

Keep an eye on outer.space... by @k00b if I am not mistaken?

Awesome to see this kind of growth in spite of Damus getting notice of removal from the app store.
reply
I don't think that Nostr can escalate such amount of users yet without improving all clients and content uploads. It is hard to follow the reels and the loading time is taking a lot. The global chat is full of bots and the following ones are topic oriented. I believe it is the future, but needs lot of improvements yet.
reply
Lol, look at stats.nostr.band nostr users are in a total nose dive. None of them stayed because nostr sucks
reply
Where is the dive? Are you referring to the last data point? That's always going to appear low.
reply
Nice. If I find the time I will move there, too. It's scaling nicely
