I tried to find out what the gently caress Nostr is and now I am more confused than ever.

First, I let it generate a key for me.


Now I have to find my own hosting for a profile photo?


The @ address doesn't mean anything because I can only search profiles by the randomly-generated public key, which is however many dozens of characters of gibberish. I tested it on my own public key and that was the only thing that worked to bring my name up. I guess you can only add people if you have their key, making everything completely hidden from only those in the know. The only use for this level of secrecy I can think of is trying to fix the data/site leaks that dark web users had when getting busted for drugs and CSAM. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but this is a whole different level of anonymity and secrecy than previous dark web stuff??

What's the use for this website? Who does it appeal to outside people trying to share stuff in complete secrecy?



"And therefore has a chance of working" - I know they mean "succeeding," but looking over all their fake Discord, Whatsapp, RSS feed, etc., imitations, I think "working" might actually mean "won't crash as much as you'd think it would."

I just wonder how much the tesla stock needs to tank before he officially would have been better off immediately re-selling twitter for the ~$8 billion it was actually worth and just eating the $36 billion loss.

Maybe he could have implemented like one algorithm change first and played it off like that old internet story about the guy who got hired at a company, fixed one bug that annoyed him as a user, then immediately quit.

He really should have just eaten the $1 billion fine for backing out, but why lose <1% of your net worth when you can lose over half of it.

I think you are absolutely right about this. For me, Twitter was fun/useful because of all of the content creators and journalists on it. If they can't promote their other avenues of work, there is no reason for them to be on there.

Makes sense, if they can't debate the actual point then immediately divert to an entirely different point. Boringly predictable, was hoping for something a bit more deranged

Also no idea how true this is but I hope it is
