But hey, it's an open protocol, right? 😉

easy, I mean, I understood half of what you've just described lol

that description was not for dummies though 😅 (not a techie). BUT I managed to register a Nostr account a couple of weeks ago.

@manton Every generation needs to reinvent Compuserve or ICQ, but make them worse.

I joined, had a cursory look, then backed out as quickly as possible.

At least everyone there is talking about Bitcoin!

@benwerd I could see it settling into mostly Bitcoin enthusiasts and also maybe secure messaging.

@manton Yikes. I’m fairly sure this is a slight exaggeration … but probably not. 😬

@geekosupremo Just a little. 🙂

Wow, an eyeroll from you! I almost never see that.

@pratik must be the open-closed principle.

@BenSouthwood same exact thing I did when it first launched. Crypto bros are not my crowd.

@mindofaaronw Yeah, it really wasn’t my thing at all.

@jean I was torn between 🙄 and 🤪. Trying to expand my emoji game.

I don't believe I've ever seen either expression on your face IRL.

@njpozner Yes , reinventing Compuserve badly is an iron law of Internet physics 😆
