Thoughts on Nostr? (drachennetz.com)

The past few days, I have been heavily experimenting with Nostr as another alternative to centralized services. And, I am honestly impressed by just how good it is. The protocol is quite simple and works very fast.

However, the almost constant bugging of the integration with idontcarecoins is a little annoying. Easy to ignore, but still always there.

What do you think about Nostr? Have you tried it?

Spent a while there now. Yep, its Bitcoin, everywhere.

Though if you doomscroll long enough (heh), you MIGHT find someone worth following and reading. ...might.

There is also Secure Scuttlebutt if you need extreme nomadicity

https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/

https://github.com/ssbc

https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/

It is basically very similar in concept, just without the baggage of inconvenience which comes with crypto coins.

But clients looks abandoned
https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork
https://github.com/ssbc/patchbay
https://gitlab.com/staltz/manyverse

So it might be considered as well as dead.

And there is also the DAT protocol, which again is assimilable to IPFS just without the coins, but it seems it really never took off, https://dat-ecosystem.org/

I guess coins scams is really what only can sustain these projects then :/
