There are those who come here with certain expectations (images don't load, can't find users, DM privacy sucks, no blue checkmarks, ...) and a conflicted mind that doesn't let them enjoy the freedom of chaos. They need it to be wrong and broken so they can handle the dissonance when going back to Elon's private global hellscape.

Then there are those who come and see an infinite space of possibilities and also challenges, they see the beauty in the chaos. They know that this protocol owes them exactly nothing.

They ask: what can I do with nostr what has never been done before? And slowly they realize how big this question really is.


This!!


Everyone get Nostr at the price they deserve


I think most ppl are used to commercial products/apps that are ok/great first time being used.
Basically not technical and not early adopters of tech. They can’t comprehend or imagine what great devs, hard work and creativity can achieve.


Nailed it.

Ask not what nostr can do for you, but what you can do for all with nostr.


Well said.
Problems are (often) a state of mind.


nostr has not been waiting for you, you have been waiting for nostr. act accordingly 🔥

Fediverse users had to deal with a few floods of influx where new users started complaining and dictating rules en-masse before understanding where they were or the community that is present now.


what hypothetical place are these people coming from that has good DM privacy anyway, don't forget Musk basically bought twitter to read his ex's DMs lol


There is so much potential for growth. We have to be apart of the solution not the problem


Be the change you want to see


We are also untouched by an algorithm that can push narratives a certain way, or hide/silence speech.

Nostr is what you make of it, and everyone that is actively using it are also contributing to it by creating communities and expanding the userbase.


Insightful Post 👏


Nostr is breath of a fresh air. I couldn't stand the constant influx of antagonising news, screaming voices shouting their version of morality, the shadow bans. I admit it's my own echo chamber I've and the almighty algorithm co-created. Good to be here. The limitations are a blessing.


sooner or later the entropy increases... everywhere. It's fine. I'm still in the process to cope with it... but in general chaos has potential and is nature.


Ask not what NOSTR can do for you, ask what you can do for NOSTR

#nostr isn’t for everyone! Yet.


I love the craziness of my feed.
I followed something like 1500 random people that someone else followed that said made a good feed.
I unfollowed some of the non English accounts to make the timeline kind of make sense.
I have an epic feed of crazy memes, interesting art, nostr hardcore freaks, bitcoin freaks, naked chicks, and all kinds of other randomness.
Way way better than algo filled engagement whores threads


Let's go 🚀


Fully agree on this one. The possibilities with #Nostr are huge. See it like adopting #Bitcoin in the early years. Things weren't perfect at all, but what came out of it is massive.

Nostr is only 4 years in. Being here this early makes you part of the bootstrapping of the new web. Enjoy it now and be the O.G. later!

“what can I do with nostr what has never been done before?”

Really resonates…

I also find I’ve been guilty of getting stuck at the “my content doesn’t have the same reach here so what’s the point”

It’s like one has to truly take a delayed gratification stance, which is just so much easier said than done

Then I ask: “what does nostr look like 5 years from now?” Vs “what does X look like 5 years from now?”

It’s a pretty obvious answer in my view… but again, I have to actually action that thought

Time to spend more time on Nostr!


Great post 👍


Fantastic. I'm 100% that second category here. I feel more at home on Nostr than I ever did on fiat social media.

Nostr is not Tweeter. It's much better.

Nostr takes some initial effort, but feel like it’s worth the grind. Your note is 💯 on point. Perseverance is key in the early stages.

Love it!


This is the way


Sweet 🤙


Nostr is a door to the unknown, it can feel uncomfortable at times, but I think once you are passed the minor issues, you will have a vision to the infinite possibilities of this technology.


Be beautiful.


Beautiful* damn typos 😂


It’s the difference between a frontier and Central Park


People just need to realize what #nostr really is and forget the rest. I never understood the blue check marks anyway 😆

TBF you didn't name the worst problems as examples.


The answer is that you can be free


A shiny city on a hill


2nd.
While developing my project on nostr, what started off as building it out of spite, to then realization how huge the opportunity I'm sitting on, and that's when I decided to go all in to finish it and make it great.


Preach! I hope nostr is a place where the creators, innovators, pioneers that want to problem solve express themselves without censorship 😎


Nostr is fucking incredible. People still thinking it’s a shitty twatter.
It’s in a way a bunch of people forking the internet and saying we don’t care if it’s a bit broken and chaotic, you don’t own my data, you can’t stop my speech, you can’t stop me from sending value.

I watched Fight Club in its entirety with my GF last night, and mine was blown by Nostr!
@fullmovies


Great post 👍


I 💜 nostr


What's important is that I have met 0 toxic folks. Everything can be said and talked about. I enjoy that part of it for sure.


The algo ain’t tearing us apart either.

Money making shit disguised as "are you real" nonsense. X has more bots than the Chinese military!

This is something that I’ve been thinking about personally and that’s being specific and asking good questions. I feel like Nostr and using AI requires this.


Exactly 😆


If we owe something to someone we #zap. Value for value. We are not the product nor the followers our leverage.


The issue is most people want convenience and really don't care about anything else and for example any information on COVID that did not agree with the mainstream narrative even from the founder of the mRNA vaccines was banned on YouTube.

When I suggested why don't you use an alternative video platform such as Rumble the answer I got was a lot of excuses and it came down to well idk I'm used to YouTube.

What I like about Nostr I can see everything and decide what is true and what is false without someone in a company or the government thinking I'm so stupid that they need to shove the "truth" down my throat,

I see a BitHole surrounded by nosters.

Nostr is a piece of stale bread. To a person with a fridge full of food, fuck that bread. But if you’re dying of starvation, that bread looks really damn good.
In a world where they’ve taken your free speech, being able to freely communicate even in the most rudimentary way, like plain text, can make all of the difference.


Damn. Well said.


Wise words 👏


Stale bread also makes the best French Toast 😃


We need someone to put of a list of all things possible with nostr (now) and in the future.

Especially on how do we create a business on nostr.

I think that would help.

NGL it feels good building on a protocol that no censor can take away


Beautifully said.


it isn't that bad and take it from me i cannot stand chaos
