Some thoughts about Nostr

I have tried Nostr (a new protocol for decentralized social media) and would like to give a personal & non-technical verdict on this system.

First doubt: if the average user is already struggling to use Mastodon at first glance, I can imagine how they might find themselves overwhelmed by such a system.

Second doubt: the fact that it is uncensored is a good thing, but also a major Achilles’ heel. As far as I understand it, there is in fact no content moderation.

Have you tried Nostr? If so, what do you think?

Yesterday I missed #ShowYourStripes day. So I’m doing it right now. 😉

Finished reading: Murder, Stage Left by Robert Goldsborough 📚

An “old style” crime book with Nero Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin as main characters. I really liked the idea, but the final of the story lacks of something in my opinion.

While I transfered here my old blog posts I realized to have blogged a lot in the last few years. 😃

After reading this article about Digital simplicity I can confirm that personally I have the same feelings about big social networks and crosspost automation. I really like how micro.blog can easily crosspost everywhere, but frankly speaking 2 or 3 big socials are enough for me.
