Primal is not nostr. Is just a twitter clone. Never like it.
Is not worth this drama.
Always use multiple clients.

Which ones are really doing something useful right now?

Fountain is the only one that comes to mind.

I mean, I had to stop using it because it was so buggy for actually doing its main function. Listen to podcasts. I love their innovative Nostr stuff but I finally had enough.

I use nostr more in private communication than in public....
few understand this difference.

Nostr private use - run your own private relay, only for people you want to communicate with, use specific clients / apps to send messages

Nostr public use - use public relays to post stupid memes. If they censor you it doesn't matter, you do not lose anything.

NOSTR IS NOT TWATTER !

Sincerely I do not care too much about this "social" part of nostr.

I like more the part that people don't see it (yet) - nwc, private chats, nostr market and all other services that you can use.

This drama of censoring iin a client s meaningless.

I use this social part mostly to post memes. All this drama that nostr is not used (as twatter) is totally useless.

Users and devs should focus on using nostr as a communication gateway for bitcoin, not to have dramas and useless discussions like on twatter.

Anyways Primal and Damus sucks both.

Good point on NWC. That's been a really useful application of the protocol.

And CLINK. Some of these services are really undersatted.
Just think how powerful is nostr market. You are free to trade with whoever you want, nobody can censor you.

Crying about being censored on a client/relay is udeless

And nmail, I've used that loads recently

reply

I haven't tried that yet. What's the advantage to regular email?

reply

There are 2 aspects to look when you start using Nmail.

  1. You still depend on a bridge to deliver the emails, if you do not use your self-hosted one
  2. You can use it as regular email (through the bridge) or as simply a private nostr messenger, (that do not depend on the bridge).

Advantages?

  • for people that are using a 3rd party hosted email service (proton, gmail etc) it's good that they can take control over their emails
  • for people that are using their self-hosted email server/domain is not a real big advantage, but it can be used as a disposable throwaway aliases email (each email address is a npub)

Is still in early phase but is promising and the dev seems to be working continuously to improve it.

Take back your inbox. Private, decentralized mail that you truly own.

Today, your email address belongs to a big company. They can scan your data, show you ads, or even close your account. This app changes that. It gives you a personal mailbox that belongs only to you, on a network that no one can shut down or control.

It looks and feels like the email you already know, but with a major difference: you are the only one with the key to your messages.
