the cultish rhetoric on nostr really puts me off, no wonder retention rate is near 0. critic voices are often made fun of and muted or ridiculed to oblivion even when their criticism and concerns are valid.

I don't understand *your* rhetoric, it doesn't vibe with me whatsoever.
nostr is a protocol, it is not too dissimilar from email or the web. viewing it any differently than you view email is a gross misjudgement.
I don't know what critical voices you're talking about, nor do I care.
Ever since day 1 of joining nostr I have selectively curated a list of people I follow that are creating the kind of content I want to see, and are sharing updates I want to see.
I have had nothing but positive interactions here, with the exception of the spam a few times, which is to be expected.
I'm also building my own app on nostr (animestr) to bring in the broader anime community into nostr.
The decentralization aspect, and the single "language" nostr apps speak in, will allow me to do something that's harder to do in a centralized network (especially for a bad developer like me)
i get it, i'm not critiquing the protocol but the prevalent culture and I'm glad that your nostr bubble brings you joy and positive interactions. best of luck with your project, I'm all for bringing niche communities like anime and gaming to nostr.
Can your specify? I see a lot of different thought. Some is more popular because itβs often the same Twitter influencers and ensure following here
Yup. This is a big part of the issue. The brodev cult is mostly just fart-sniffing at it's finest.

Lmao. No one gives a fuck about retaining you π
stay strong fren. i think the inboxes of the people who can solve the problems are just full.. the resources to solve the problems are thin. all in good time, i think we need a few more years to have solutions built to retain, until then there will be lots of churn, for better or worse. it is very tough for the marketing dept during this time.
example: still havent solved the harrassment from spam bots despite them being here every time there is an uptick in users.
yeah the grind feels pointless some times, certain aspects of the culture suck but I still have a lot of love for the protocol and mission; my passion and autism will keep me going, i ain't stopping anytime soon. appreciate your words my fren, stay strong too!
This is why I try to say dumb stuff as often as possible
we all do sometimes hehe. now seriously: you are one of most articulate, deepest thinkers in the space. an inspiration and role model for me.
Thank you, I appreciate that
Are there opinions out there we are supposed to care about? Must not have received the memo....
i think you need to consider trying jumble.social or something. i don't even see this.
