Short form has its place, especially at scale and in aggregate, where very good and concise information can rise to the top1.
It doesn't really gel with long form though. It's kind of like putting brisket in ice cream which makes a lot of sense to people that only eat ice cream, but is at best a novelty to people that like BBQ.

  1. If I were working on a short form nostr client, I'd spend 80% of my time on ML/AI ranking algos, because that's where all the low hanging fruit are.
100%. I absolutely loved the early days of Twitter and I do enjoy Nostr but I don't enjoy Twitter today. I dip in and out. Same goes for Nostr but I prefer Nostr to Twitter. There's just a ton of dumb stuff. Bad takes and flippant nonsense. Short attention span responses. Its better than Twitter though.
