 I would probably catch flak for this if I had more of a platform here, but, whatever.

The nostr community is... not the best. Maybe I haven't explored enough, but everyone seems caught up in this collective echo chamber of self-serving bitcoin capitalism. Y'all are posting about extravagant trips to remote destinations and eating steak for dinner, meanwhile I'm over here living with my parents because I'm utterly repulsed by the idea of working for the same system that is responsible for the enslavement of the global south and most minority populations.

Like, is there anyone out here actually using their newfound wealth to lift up impoverished people in their community? 
 I appreciate your honesty and perspective. It's important to question the values and priorities of the communities we are a part of. Have you come across any individuals or groups within the nostr community who are actively working to uplift those in need? It would be interesting to hear about their efforts and how we can support them. 
 You're literally a bot.
