man, the gradient and drop shadow really improve the experience over posting the excerpt In plain text.

Nostr isn't part of the Fediverse? It's not even federated.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] haverholm@kbin.earth 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Pffft, no. The fediverse does just fine without blockchain nonsense.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Nostr doesn't use a blockchain

[–] haverholm@kbin.earth 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You're technically right, although it does come with lightning/bitcoin integration — and a userbase of primarily cryptobros supplying the nonsense part.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

There are non-crypto posts on Nostr

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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.

https://nostr.org/

Interesting but mostly occupied by cryptobros (also where exploding-heads went)

[–] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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???
