This is a frontend for the asknostr hashtag on nostr, a more decentralized fediverse alternative.
More questions are needed, if you can help. You can sign up instantly with no email address or anything, but it’s hard for the user base to grow, because the questions are usually too focused on a small (honestly cultish) number of topics. I find that odd when anyone can ask anything.
The website has content filters to remove spam and stuff from its own display, but the nostr protocol is open source, and you can self host your own backups of removed posts and display them on your own website without losing any data. I also haven’t heard of anyone getting a “ban” where all their past posts are filtered at once / they have to stop posting.
As someone who constantly gets banned from places like asklemmy for being a radical communist or whatever, it’s especially important to me that there are no bans here, because it means I don’t have to worry about admins repeatedly wiping out time I invest in helping people with answers to their questions.
Note: asknostr.site is still early in development and kinda buggy. Remember you can also post to it through the asknostr hashtag from other nostr apps if you want.
Despite being a good concept Nostr is toxic due to all the crypto bros. Normal people will never touch it.
ActivityPub only needs to solve object portability and that will remove the only unique advantage that AT Protocol or Nostr have.
Hard money will win, but nostr will also win separately regardless. We just need nostr apps without crypto integration
E-commerce is the foundational aspect of Nostr in @Fiatjaf own words, so I wouldn’t expect break from crypto anytime soon.
- I’m not fiatjaf, my nostr will be better than fiatjaf’s
- Idk where fiatjaf said that. Where?
- Not being banned is the foundational aspect for me
Idk where fiatjaf said that. Where?
He wasn’t interviewed for that article and it doesn’t say anything about him saying that in the article.
Fiatjaf and I have quite different visions for nostr I think, but he seems to at least agree the foundation is having no bans. It can’t be e-commerce when 5 years in we still don’t even have a good storefront / eBay type app
