Centralization Possibilities
We have already have a clear stack. there's Gitcoin Passport for sybil resistance, git (and wrappers like Radicle) for version control, Lit PKPs & Gelato for account abstraction, Farcaster/Orbis/Lens for social architecture, OpenStreetMaps for geographic markets, OPStack, etc.

Nostr.how – A Complete Guide to Nostr
These services exist outside of the protocol and depend on a few centralized and trusted authorities.
Another solution that is arguably more resistant to capture and censorship would be to use a blockchain to manage user name aliases - like Farcaster is doing with fnames.[1]

Telegram has stolen my channel's username to sell it on auction
one XMPP server gets big and usernames get squatted and dealt with at the discretion of the server admin.
Only solution is something like how Farcaster does it

Mastodon.technology Is Shutting Down
That's sad to hear, but it makes total sense to shut down the server given its sensitive data, rather than hand it off to another person.
Mastodon/ActivityPub is a poor fit for a social network IMHO.
- Accounts should not be tied a single server and their continued maintenance.
- Private data and DMs should be end-to-end encrypted rather than entrusted with a single administrator.
- People don't want to self-host.
The core problem of a lot of social networks comes down to name aliasing, and who controls the name registry. In the case of nostr[1] this is not a problem because everything is using public keys. Another protocol is Farcaster[2] which plans to use a smart contract to maintain a name registry without requiring a single controller.

Nostr stuck in loading state when logging in
ok I'm new to this, just trying to get off the Musky mess… so I tried iris.to & astral.ninja & I simply don't get it : why do I see zero posts in so-called "global" mode ? I get I can't see some stuff without following accounts , but an absolute zero is weird & not very engaging, no way those will have the slightest chance to become popular in that state…

Facing extremely slow feed
I am new to Nostr. Just created my keys. I started using the astral.ninja client. The problem I am facing is I can't really read anything, It is too slow. Opening global just leads to an endless load bar. Is it because of my relays? Is the solution to just add a ton of relays or specific to my region?

Damus not in sync with web clients?
I have a superlink.me domain, and it didn't get NIP05 verified in astral.ninja, as u/keithkman said, I believe astral ninja has some issues. I'm just using snort.social now.
-
postr relays
Ok - here's an update. snort.social is not reliable enough for me. Hangs (no posts / notes) almost 75% of the time. I'm trying astral.ninja now and I can actually search and find someone by their public key. Also, Brave browser doesn't seem to work with nostr. I'm using my Chrome browser with astral. So it's ok for now. There are many variables at play here. Next up I will test using Alby and tipping / zapping.

Twitter is not handling nostr well

You can now run a personal Nostr relay on your Umbrel to backup all your Nostr activity
Have you found the solution? I tried with astral.ninja and can't seem to talk with my nostr relay
