It is very interesting that Nostr is so casually namedropped in this thing: https://www.theverge.com/23658648/mastodon-ceo-twitter-interview-elon-musk-twitter
"it’s just full of spam and people talking about cryptocurrencies"

"There’s Nostr, which I think is also Dorsey’s. Yes, there’s that. As far as I know, it’s just full of spam and people talking about cryptocurrencies."

Yes, it's sad. Mastodon will remain the media's darling as they remain predominantly positioned towards one spectrum of the political isle. On Mastodon, I regularly see more, far leftist Ideology and propaganda than I even ever had on Twitter. Incredible echo chambers with the Fediverse. And I consider myself a centrist. So, to experience what I'd consider "extreme" forms of Liberalism has been eye-opening. In contrast, Nostr is a balance of mostly centrist, AnCaps and right wing. Little to no leftists and Marxists/Leninists here. Mix in the love of Bitcoin and it's easy to see why one side would be more critical and dismissive of Nostr than that of Mastodon as it already supports their subscribed world view.

TIL mastodon has a CEO. Lol wut?
“Benevolent dictator” 🤣

hes right
if you are on a mastadon server you always trust the server dictator and you dont have redundancy like with a good relay setup
It’s kind of a sad and lonely place from my experience using it.
My questions: How’s it a business? How do they make money?

Simple. By licensing your products so it creates value for you, and voila, revenue enhancement until understanding the value of the intelligence.
It’s not a quick fix though as it take time.
My dude, I want some of what you’re smoking.
They are actually a non profit funded mainly by patreon. Had to look it up… https://www.pcmag.com/news/mastodon-rejects-funding-offers-to-preserve-nonprofit-status-founder-says

This has been raised by a lot of people. The crypto culture is overwhelmingly dominant here. Unless there is space for other folks, it wouldn’t become the network for everyone. I use NOS precisely because I am into crypto at all.

Agreed, it provides incentives for people to post quality content and connect with others. It’s also a nice way to introduce people to lightning and how easy and efficient bitcoin can ready be. I love it

he not wrong about this since proof of sat relays I seldom see onboarding. Relays should get paid to stop providing this solution. #[0]
I agree about the protocols and you've misunderstood what I wrote. The political part matters to the media. That's why Nostr has gotten little attention. The MSM editorial staff who beat the drum on global warming aren't too privvy on covering "Crypto," especially Bitcoin, since they think it's detrimental to the environment. That's why they're always the first to applaud when crypto market tanks. Conversely, the exodus of the Left from Twitter and made most mainstream and public Mastodon servers become an echo chamber, as mentioned. Sure there are right wing servers, but few and far between. The majority of Mastodon (especially those advertised in their official site) are quite liberal (just read the server rules). Since this ideology matches that of the MSM, it makes sense why they got adoring coverage.
