 Real. 

After being a part of it for about 2 years (with, admittedly, a couple of unintentional breaks), I love hearing people say they hate Nostr because … Well … Plain and simple it’s them admitting they’re cucks to the centralization and algos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I said what I said! 
 😂🫡 
 tries nostr once:
Let me tell you how to fix it
(…also it’s a good backup for x)

 Oof the “backup to X” comments always kill me 😂 
 They belittle nostr, but in a nice way 🙄😂 
 Like keeping a backup boyfriend/girlfriend “just in case it doesn’t work out with my current one” 
 Exactly 😂
Too scared to lose the algo girlfriend, keeps nostr…just in case 
 it’s funniest when bitcoiners say it 😆 
 💯😂 
 Same. 
 You get out what you put in. True in everything in life. 
 I love NOSTR 
 STAY HUMBLE AND STACK ZAPS 
 Me too. 
 I love nostr too. But I do get very low interaction on my notes, to the point where I started worrying I did not set up my relays right. But I think they are. But it's zero sometimes, when I thought I would be getting at least a few likes.  
 I feel you! Sometimes I get a couple of likes on random stuff. And then there is a "beautiful" note I creae and boom: nothing. 🤣 
 I agree. 
 It is hard at first for sure. Especially when you are more an Instagram type and no X/Twitter guy! 
 I hope we see more photo/video-focused nostr apps. 💯 
 You know what I don’t miss? Blue checks, adverts and the algorithm. 
 💯 
 Excellent! 
 I tried #X for years and it sucks! 
 they aren't used to missing the dopamine induced algorithm. they get withdrawals.  
 I think finding the right client initially is a big thing.  I started with amethyst and couldn't really figure it out.  Then I tried primal and loved that it was kind of pre setup like a "traditional" social platform.  Then when I went back to amethyst I was able to see everything/ everyone I wanted with all the cool perks of amethyst.  I have no knowledge of coding so I can't get the full experience of building on nostr but I do think I'm going to try a new client again soon to see what differences it has.  I just have no idea which one to pick! 
 I love nostr. 🤩  
 Im to stupid to post notes😅  
 I concur
