The past few days, I have been heavily experimenting with Nostr as another alternative to centralized services. And, I am honestly impressed by just how good it is. The protocol is quite simple and works very fast.
However, the almost constant bugging of the integration with idontcarecoins is a little annoying. Easy to ignore, but still always there.
What do you think about Nostr? Have you tried it?
I think it is less mature as its tech is more complex. Your complaints would likely be solved with more development time, but I think its core fundamentals are better than lemmy.
