 I think for people who were familiar with Usenet, MySpace, early to Facebook and early to Twitter, Nostr is a very comfortable place to be. My feed consists of the profiles that I want to follow, nothing else. I post what I want without concerns or worry that it will get taken down or if it will be "controversial".  I communicate with other humans, not bots or algorithms.  I see NO advertising, NO corporations, and if I do see something I don't like, it is super easy to investigate the source and make a judgement call on whether to mute a profile or just move on.  90% of the time I just move on.

Nostr is where humans communicate.  Corporate social media is where the human experience goes to die.
