I was never looking to replace anything with Nostr. Nor did I have expectations that it would. I don't need my client to mimic something else or provide the same experience all in one.
I was always tepid at best or just socially inclined to join some other controlled and monitored walled garden because the people I know are there. I barely used any of them. Having to sign up for a new social media just for content displayed differently, algorithmically curated feeds, email sign ups, verifications, spam emails from all that shit.
Maybe that's why I almost immediately felt more excitement from the interoperability, varied takes on clients and experiments from this protocol more enjoyable. Even sometimes BECAUSE OF the clunk. The killer app is user empowerment.
At least I can tell a lot of the devs here are actually excited about what they're working on. Even if it wasn't built specifically for a use case I have. Plus, I don't need much to write a shitpost. Like much of nostr, I just need a private key.
