What's important to me is how it looks. I looked at one of the web frontends and it was comment-centric, so the frontpage displays comments without their context, which is a batshit insane idea. That was Snort. Maybe the title is a reference to how the creator snorts too much coke. The other one I tried was Coracle, which was loading Javascript forever, and in that sense it's Gab Plus. HongKongPoopy does a much better job assessing the technical aspects, I care about a web client that looks good and is robust, I'm not seeing that here.

Good feedback. Yes, an aesthetic and ergonomic GUI is important, regardless of the protocols. Perhaps there are some FLOSS interfaces that can be improved upon.

I wondered if Snort was an acronym, but it turns out one Snort is not a social media platform nor uses Nostr.

But It looks like there's another Snort, among other apps.

It might be neat if addons or apps like Lemmy, Movim, OpenCola, etc could use the Internet, TOR, Nostr, torrents, and other protocols interchangeably and/or simultaneously - whatever it takes to get the info across securely.
