 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?
