"social media" is following the same patterns of "legacy media."
what's next?

Completely agree. Going to need the equivalent of independent journalism but for social media. At present, nostr is the only conceivable option to make this a reality in my opinion. Super stoked about nostr and virtually no one around me even recognizes the issue with mainstream social media platforms yet
Perhaps you have already shared but would love your thoughts on Farcaster. I’m debating on whether I should contribute to Nostr or Farcaster.
I’ve never heard of Farcaster, but I’m all in on Nostr because it’s got a solid community and values that align with what I care about. If you’re looking for something with strong principles and a growing movement, Nostr is a great place to contribute. It’s fine to try new things. If you do try it let me know I would love to hear about your experience.
Being here makes me optimistic: Democracy Media :)
I’m optimistic too. Maybe that is a bit naïve but what other choice do we have?
🎯🤝
Legacy politics?
No….
lol 😂
The more we change the more we stay the same.
You tell us lol
Fortunately things can only compress so much before they are forced to decompress. Wait or accelerate. Presence here makes one's choice pretty clear.
That’s a good way to put it. There’s always a breaking point, and when it comes, things will have to shift. Being here definitely shows which side we’re on.
Synthetic. Humans and machines working together.
Seems like it.
We’re already there.
People all isolate themselves in their echo chambers. There's nothing left to unite the world, and that's the plan. Their plan works perfectly. Only the bitcoiners are relatively united, but there aren't enough of them.
Yeah, it’s tough seeing everyone so divided. But I think you’re right about Bitcoiners—it does feel like there’s more unity there. Maybe that’s a start, though. Small groups with strong principles can make a big difference over time.
Developing a legacy media mute list on nostr 🤙
Awesome!
🔥This should be a default feature and must be turned on if you wish to see it.
From a computer networking point of view, I think it’s worth drawing an analogy between the Nostr Protocols and Content-Centric Networking. These topics, like Bitcoin, used to be hot at the P2P Foundation...
That's a really interesting comparison! Content-Centric Networking does have some similarities with Nostr's approach to decentralization. It’s cool to see how these ideas keep evolving and finding new applications. Makes you wonder what other old concepts might resurface in new ways.
Yes, it is part of human sociology to follow family patterns.
Can you expand on that thought?
Tendency to follow the traditional to feel included, if the human being for a long time is subjected to an environment, we normalize it and accept it.
Social media have inherited traditional media patterns, and we have accepted it.
Great perspective. Thanks.
As a kid, I always remember them saying technology will outweigh customer service and the social aspect, but I’ve never seen that actually the opposite happens… so what does that mean for the future?
At some point in the technological development of social media, the reason for their creation and existence was lost, to give voice and visibility to everyone. Now they are sounding boxes of the same as always.
I think I read more than I talk.. on all platforms.. probably .5%
It’s really perspective and the view you are looking at it..
I need information in my line of work.. I love seeing innovation and political ideas
Otherwise I’d be in a box and someone else making my decisions for me..
Yes I hate the same negativity regarding politics.. that’s the part that needs changing
I am more active on other social networks where there is more interaction of interest about my social and political environment in the country.
But here in Nostr I like to see and read how they live on the other side of the world.
I'm curious which networks have the most political content in which places. It's a thought I never had until you gave it too me.
It depends on how much money politicians invest in paying for the reach of their social media publications. I know cases that invest 5MM for a month in X
We must always question what we see, even if they tell us that it is freedom expression.
#nostr es el internet 2.0
Interesting point! I’ve noticed that too, with platforms pushing certain narratives and ads more and more. I guess the big question is whether new alternatives like nostr will rise up and break that pattern. Maybe nostr will become everything people want and need. Who knows.
of course. we could see the trajectory ever since there was a shift from social network to social media. the focus on media is the problem
Manufactured consent
How about “no media”? Kidding, everyone needs a little bit of media in their life.
Perhaps is a good practice to (perish the thought i know) think of ways of how #nostr can be consumed by legacy media like current social media has.
Let's play the masterminds role to try and take over nostr.
Now, how can we prevent that?
Kings and peasants. 👑
Does it mean you are no longer bullish about Nostr?
If we build it, they will come
Yes. Exactly. We need something that can stand up to the bribery and blackmail. Something without a single point of failure. Something that’s not controllable from the outset and accept all the problems that come with that.
supply chain and feed chain
They both sought to control us, and capitalize on our attention. Their demise gains us precious time where we can build a decentralized future without the constraints of past times.
Non linear time
individual media ?
bundling -> unbundling -> bundling
Ad-driven business models all have the same destination
When money?
For legacy media to evolve its business model by adopting Nostr
the next step will be boosted with the power of ai.
a. "be thrown out of the game and finding our self again"
b. "getting lost in a entirely running episode of entertainment"
Twitter needs an underlying censorship resistant protocol like Nostr.
Otherwise every fucking government will eventually come knocking.
🤙
You knew that for years. The question is how can we change that, isn’t?
New(s) Media, new news media to replace the legacy media with updated business models. Cooperate efforts of professional journalists, who report both sides of an issue, unbiased and impartially, allowing the user to make up their own minds. New business models, such as those built with Nostr, allows news media to report with integrity, eclipsing out the desperate practices of the last twenty years, as traditional organizations struggled to adapted to the digital age, and were diminished by advertorials, unethical hackers and other bad actors.
Everything will always have a social aspect.. doesn’t matter what..
I think it depends on what country and what values they have
Chinese values are completely different than Americas.. some will be underground like Brazil, etc.
I think we will see a greater divide, especially as technology grows
