 Nostr is mostly for #Bitcoiners, #Cypherpunks and tech-savy people. Crypto scammers won't bother with Nostr because none of their 50 IQ scams would work here.

Regarding IPs, id rather trust the relays that i choose and are ran by plebs like me, than big tech anti-freedom overlords.

You don't have to pay for any relay, you can self-host your own relay, backup all your notes, and broadcast them at any time to new relays in case you get banned.

I've been using #Nostr for a while and i only had to mute 1 bot so far. My DMs are clean. If i were on Twitter my notifications would be spammed with crypto scammers tagging me, the fact that Elon doesn't fix that is beyond me.
