Justin Welsh has a pretty interesting, regular newsletter, and this time he wrote about a subtle shift in people's mindset regarding social media. People are fed up with everything. The algorithms are annoying, the AI engagement is frustrating, and the constant outrage is exhausting. And by now, everyone has realized that relying on legacy social media is too risky for their business, so they’re exploring other options. What those options are remains vague, and there’s no mention of Nostr.
I also don’t think Nostr is the solution to social media fatigue. There’s a lot of annoyance and stress there too. It seems like humanity is looking for something completely different. We’re in a transitional phase. It could be that we’re not 'too early' with Nostr, but rather that we might be too late in copying the UI of other legacy services.
And I've been saying it for years: this timeline-based format is terrible. It really don't like it.
