   The problem with nostr is that it's simple yet oddly opinionated. Why even have "identities" and "follows" and "likes"? You could build a social media system on a simple json repeater that anyone could code in a day. If you're going to be minimalist, be minimalist. Don't graft on facebookisms for no reason. Usenet, BBSes and message forums thrived for decades without "followers".
   
   Almost all of the things Nostr lists as "disadvantages" of ActivityPub are also true for nostr. There's no incentive to host a relay. There's no incentive to post on unpopular relays. Relay owners are still amateurs and/or dictators. When relays go down, messages and/or content are still lost forever.
   
   Most damning, just a day or so after Alex deploys an ActivityPub to nostr bridge, there's already serious talk by nostr developers about shared blocklists and relay blacklists for those who follow "problematic" people or share "problematic" content. Meet the new censors, same as the old censors.

     @RetardedServantOfChrist @theorytoe @silverpill Also, since it's made by crypto fans, there will be an inevitable "nostrcoin" (that they premined the fuck out of) that will be integrated with everything to provide "incentives".

     Nostards aren’t crypto fans, they’re specifically Bitcoin maxis. If you mention another coin here you will be btfo’d.

     @614aee83d7eaffc7bc6bbf02feda0cc53e7f97eeceac08a897c4cea3c023b804 @caekislove @theorytoe @RetardedServantOfChrist Right, they are Bitcoin maxis. But the network is growing and people from other crypto communities are coming too. If this trend continues, Nostr will be flooded with all kinds of shitcoin opportunists.
     Expect drama of cosmic proportions.
