Nostr isn't part of the Fediverse? It's not even federated.
Correct, it's decentralized. I don't even care about my Nostr relays. I am well aware of my home server, especially when it starts returning some kind of errors
Pffft, no. The fediverse does just fine without blockchain nonsense.
Nostr doesn't use a blockchain
You're technically right, although it does come with lightning/bitcoin integration — and a userbase of primarily cryptobros supplying the nonsense part.
I think tipping people for posts is really cool, though. They had a doge tip bot on reddit, but it didn't actually integrate with the network, so apparently when it shut down the owner of the bot just stole everyone's tips

Crypto is all about shilling bags or criminal activity.
): unfortunate for the ones that actually want to use it as an anonymous currency
There are non-crypto posts on Nostr
For what it's worth. I suspect fed-run relays have sped up the Tor network substantially. I'm really mostly using it to avoid commercial tracking and passive dragnet so it doesn't really bother me...
Nostr?
Interesting but mostly occupied by cryptobros (also where exploding-heads went)
Yeah... Just looked over stuff and it's pretty cringe...
SHITCOIN IS GOING UP BY 0.0000001% 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Most of it feels like it's occupied by bots lmao. Also "GM Nostr" every day???
Nostr is where everyone who secretly admires Musk/Trump/Zuck goes.
Shame, because on its face, I thought it was a really interesting technology that solved an underlying infrastructure problem in the fediverse's makeup.
