Why are you still an active #nostr user?


I like babbling nonsense


Because people literally pay me to be


The love shared on here is amazing.


The alternatives are leading towards a scary dystopian future.


I have more fun on Nostr than any social I’ve ever used. Plus, Nostr aligns with my fundamental values. There is no second best.


Freedom.


My deep love for humanity will always guide my choices.


I’ve taken breaks from nostr, and every time I come back, I’m reminded of how cool it is.


#boobstr and memes


Because is a cult.

https://i.postimg.cc/ZnbTjqPJ/cult.jpg


This is the last social media account i ever have to build. No more follower here check out stuff over at this walled garden. All my grammer mistakes and growing photos get to be in one spot with my full control


Bc it exists and works (enough) and is better than the alternatives in my view


Its important. And I had good teachers.


People are much more likely to click on my Japanese music links here 😂


Build the future of memes


Deleted everything else.
It’s toxic.


Because I have no IRL friends 🥹


It's the only social media I use (if you exclude YT).

Instagram and Facebook are data harvesting machines that I don't want to feed.
Twitter's algorithms are too addictive. And they are, because they tap into negative emotions. I didn't feel good about using them.

So there is Nostr.
It's interesting and new. I like the idea of decentralised social media and open source stuff. And I really appreciate the lack of horrible algorithms.
I also like to sweat sometimes and appreciate to not get punished for that.
And last but NOT least: we are beaming the hardest asset/money ever known to mankind through space at the touch of a button.

Oh, and Udi Wertheimer isn't here. Thank fuck!


Because the Nostr paradigm is a future I want. Censorship resistance, provable authorship, no ads, and no gateeeping by the platform owners in particular.


tbh i dont know 😂


Onward 🫡


Because of your funny memes!  I wish there were more funny accounts here.  Also, people here are very insightful and positive and constructive.


Zapped by ice cream so good 🍦


Because elsewhere I feel out of place


Because it makes me laugh and I've met some very cool people over the last +1 years. A couple of them IRL. It also often reminds me of the old mIRC days when we were all still friends playing around with this blockchain thing.


Swear*


because of the great people I follow 💜


you are one of the great people I met on nostr 🫡


Top answer


Because fits with Bitcoins ethos of self sovereignty, zaps, and being apart of a community blossoming

https://media1.tenor.com/m/_90ngLQufGIAAAAC/sheeeeiiittt.gif


Come to think of it, that also applies to Bitcoin


Because I care about freedom of speech, both for myself and for others. nostr generally also has a lot of signal which usually makes my day better and more interesting. Lastly, this is a place I feel I can contribute to, to make the world a better place.


Why are you still an active #nostr user?


Girls just wanna have fun.


so are you Ser! Looking forward to meet you some day.


🍑GM


cause there is no second best


No rage algo. Lots of great Bitcoiners and freedom loving people here. Gives me a place to archive my life without censorship.

And #zaps of course ⚡


I wish I was even more active, but can't think of interesting notes to send 🫣


I believe in freedom. there is no CEO, or company with misaligned incentives to get between me and my followers. I create my own algorithm.

nostr is FOSS, nostr is freedom tech 🤙✌


oh yeah, that anxiety about getting banhammered or cultshamed... i've said some pretty daring things on numerous occasions on nostr and a few funny reactions but not the kind of cancel gang situation i'm used to from anywhere else... it is like the old days of phpBB and Simple Machines, before the facebook and google machines started up... oh, you could get into a little bit of trouble being controversial but it was not the same cult drone army situation

anyhow, even if mister sunglasses shows up to try and influence his flock of drones here, i doubt that anyone not interested in his nonsense will even hardly hear about it

i think that the cult leaders know that they don't have a big cult leader behind them to back them up here, that's why they are so scared to come here


It's comfy inside my echo chamber


Only social that feels authentic to me


I feel comfortable expressing myself on here.

You lot make me laugh daily.

You lot inspire me.

I learn a lot on here.

Am curious.

Great memes.

Wonderful people.


Moro is here til the end 🫡


I wanna follow Bitcoin stuff and other platforms are full of bots and scams and ads… Nostr is not …for now…


Bc the bird app is worse every day.  On Nostr I don't get bots, ads, scams, bc we have Zaps, integration with other clients like zap.stream and other cool apps. Bc it's worth investing my time bc the data belongs to my account. Bc i developed and want to develop more apps on nostr and the potential is bigger than ppl realize.


Because everything else is just noise 🫨


because people reply to questions posted here.

it feels like an incredible hive mind that i have access to.

for free

boggles my mind


Because it allows me to avoid 100% of clownery while potential clowns cannot be silenced.


Less centralization than anywhere else.

No algos promoting negativism.

Bitcoin news and chit chat.


It take us to a journey of freedom and sovereignty to bring us to a real understanding of the clown world and embrace a new renaissance. The optimism and hope is what I feel here at Nostr.
Peace, Love & Respect 💜🧡
#nostr
https://m.primal.net/Hpsq.jpg


I’m just here for the frog dick pics if I’m being honest


Nostr is a port in the 🤡🌎 storm.

And your memes. Definitely your memes.


my pleb fam on here


Banned from Twitter, insta is just fake people trying to convince you of their fake life. Facebook is a retirement home.  And all are owner by narcissistic sociopaths.  Yeah I think I'm good here.


A handful of people I’m not connected with or don’t see elsewhere, memes, and zaps. That first one keeps shrinking though, not growing.


Also 💜🫂💜🫂


I‘m not active. This is a single standalone note.


GOOD NOTE 🤙


It feels good here with all of you 🫂
And I can #zap to fuck the system 🏴


Because I can contribute and build on it instead of being a passive user. I also think I'm helping Bitcoin by creating apps that use Lightning and nostr.

I feel free here, reminds me of my early internet days and gives me hope for a better future. There are huge challenges ahead and I'm not happy with the state of many things but the protocol has insane potential.


Potential


Strong Divine Femine farts all over nostr right now, thanks Shara 🤙


Amazing space 🤙🧡


I want to be part of the movement. I think this is the future of social. I believe in the block chain. I am learning as I go. It is refreshing to see the type of content and minds that are here, right now.


it's like the bitcoin of social media. will be a parallel alternative for a while and someday become the standard


Waiting for my people to show up and being noisy so they can find me


it's still punk

nostr:note1922f6c0jxea6urmve7c2cuduyqpcrvyuwngfrartlve6a5qxzsrsnjy6r5


Onward 🫡


Because I don’t have to answer survey questions from Silicon Valley nobs.


What other option is there? Now you're all stuck here with me.


Because no one can stop me!


Why are you still an active #nostr user?


Because it's based on cryptography.


Only the real kind of degenerates here


Because I have hope


because it isn't trying to manipulate me, or cancel me

and because i think that after decades of covert manipulation, the mother of all social migrations is incoming and this is a gold mine for people with creative business ideas involving communication


oh yeah i forgot corndalorian mutes me, whatever haha lol


Quality of people.


Using Nostr more for my daily social media has made me realize how much time twitter was sucking from my day. I can feel my brain hurting when I'm on twitter for more than 5 minutes now. My body is beginning to actively reject it. Kinda wild.


Because fuck algos messing with my brain.


Cuz that's how your mom sends me tit pics


Where else am I supposed to go? Everywhere else I'm weird/stupid and they're ignorant sheep.


Because I've met cool people here and because it's a great place to contribute with my side projects.


He mutes everyone lol


Nostr doesn’t have any chance of survival without users, and as of right, nostr is the only hope I have for the internet.


almost everyone i followed on twitter is here active, except for yellow, who doesn't post regularly, but he's busy with dsb spaces, i get all the memes but without stupid ads


I like a forum where people aren’t afraid of the truth, and are in fact actively seeking it out.

It’s also a giant middle finger to legacy rug-pulling central servers based internet, and I’m happy to contribute to an exodus from there in whichever way I can.


BECAUSE PENIS


Everyday I'm learning new stuff ⚡🔥


It is sonderbar. Different. Nicer. And I don't know where it will lead. I like that. And because I'm an optimist and a dreamer...

https://m.primal.net/Hqyr.jpg


NO COMPANY OWNS ME


Because Bitcoin + Nostr are the exit from fiat money and fiat internet.


I’m here because of you.
Trying to explore my very own reason to stay😄


for ideological reasons
nostr:note1922f6c0jxea6urmve7c2cuduyqpcrvyuwngfrartlve6a5qxzsrsnjy6r5


Cause as much as nostriches call themselves tards they are intelligent


Welcome to freedom! You’ll love it ❤


I found my people 🤙


It.s only because I have a crush on you 🥹


Why are you still an active #nostr user?


Social media is a drug and I'm a damn addict


The energy

The lack of central control

The lack of needing permission

Alternative to a dystopian outcome

The potential

The note is just the beginning

💓


Meta - deleted ❌
X - deleted ❌


Por que puedo, por qué quiero, por qué me gusta y por qué me da la gana. Por ahora ✌🏼


Show this to The Wolf of All Streets on Twitlandia


I made friends here.

Also the signal on development of technology with the potential to improve our future.


I like the tech talk. I made a lot of friends. Shitposting & memes is fun. #Bitcoin obviously


Addicted to ⚡


Covid 19 was an awakening for me.
Never in my life was I so aware at the preciousness of being able to exchange information freely with another human being.
If people can be censored and separated from each others thoughts and analysis, whether right or wrong, if we can be cut off from the spontaenous order of unfettered collective thought, then tyranny has a free hand, and that hand invariably wraps itself around your throat.

If Bitcoin is financial self defence, then I at least hope that Nostr is my communicative self defence.

If Nostr is dedicated to the preservation of free speech and censorship resistance, then I will back that horse.


Also zaps.


The alternative is old fashioned, cruel and corrupt


It feels good to be free.


There is no other alternative


Part of an awesome club of cypherpunks and chads and based memers.  GFY energy.  Really fun to watch it all evolve in real time and read the thoughts of such amazingly bright developers.  High conviction bitcoiners helped me survive the bear market with many lols. 😁


This is where the revolution can happen.


Same 🤣


Yeah, its more keypair goodness.


One of the many reasons is that you could have a look 3-4 times a day for about 5 minutes and you see every post from the people you follow. And you're done for the day. But if you want to, you could search for tags, trending 24h and so on.
But it's your decision, not the algorithm


It’s not.


Because  there is ni adds and nobody else telling me what to see.
 #[1]


Its amazing to see something being developed in real time - I joined about a year back & every month I can see something different popping up😁

Plus,Japanese TL is just silly & random and I found a lot of good friends there.


⚡Ich bin neu! Und interessiert an Freiheit. Es fühlt sich besser an. 🇩🇪


Because I meet more ideologically minded people here easily


Ich glaube, ideologisch zu denke ist nicht positiv.  Aber jeder sollte frei sein so zu denken wie er möchte.


It’s where the bitcoiners are at.


Finding new & interesting accounts everyday.  For me, it means Nostr is growing!


my frens are here https://i.nostr.build/5GQ5K.gif


Depends on how you look at it. I think of it as a "safe space" from daily life.


For the free speech, liberty and lack of censorship. In reality cuzz we are saving the 🌎

😂 #zaps of course 🤣 the only true innovation around here, right nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m?


It's value for value and censorship resistant!


uWu 💎🚀


I like the vibe.

Feels live & raw.


In no particular order:

1. V4V
2. Decentralized and censorship resistant
3. An ecosystem of apps, not just social
4. I am my own algorithm
5. Networking
6. Good source of info on topics like:
#privacy tech and software
#bitcoin
#homesteading


-Because freedom is free on Nostr!
- it’s uncensored
- it’s fun and I can say whatever I want and no one takes me seriously
- nobody really listens to me which is perfectly fine
- there’s fun people here
And more importantly….you’re here 😉🫡💜


Way too nice and chipper…..keys have been compromised


Oh wait I forgot to add….GFY 😜


Ah…much better😂


Bei Ideologie denke ich zuerst an Negative politische Ideologien wie den Kommunismus oder Faschismus.  🤷


Me or Marie? 👀🤣


lol you're not muted on Nostur. I guess it must not use the regular mute list. I still need to nuke my mute list that other clients use. Too many outdated people on it at this point 😁🤣


He’s talking to me, as always 🤣


My people are here & I like the corn.


No censorship, frens, high signal/noise ratio, innovation, bitcoin plebs, influencors shitting the bed, art, MEMES, fun women, zaps, cunts being cunts, hugs, control over my feed, no ads, this feels like home, cypherpunk vibes, yo mama.


Why are you still an active #nostr user?


Marie 😂


may your corn grow tall https://image.nostr.build/9ffd17603edcbbef4261a67002cbe591677ce21fab16504a98e0481f405045f1.jpg


Because I've always enjoyed quirky internet communities going back to the phpbb days.


Good question

Why am I still active on Nostr? Hmmmm

Still active

Still

ill

🤒


Zaps and memes


Be the change you want to see in the world.

Rules, not rulers.

Curating your own life 🤙🏼


Because of the fresh authenticity that nostr fosters. Lots of interesting people.


How can people be here and then just go back to these dumpster fire social media platforms.


Life is meme

Meme is life

Climate scammers cant hide from truth here


We can do cooler things here with zero permission and more network effects than anywhere else on the internet


Waiting on nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk gets back 👀


zaps ⚡& signal 📻


For freeeeeeeeeereedom!


I'm new here but I want to grow here and see this platform grow. Just want the BTC to stop being so big here so that I can see posts that aren't all crypto related. Probably will have to wait a while and see if that ever stops, otherwise I am just gonna stay on Twitter and Bluesky.


Welcome! Now go get your wallet sorted out 🙂


Where else can I get paid to shitpost?


#Nostr n #bitcoin


So when your leg is healed you're gone?

😭😭😭


He probably will be!


LOL nope idk how and i'm not old enough anyway


Don't go breakin' my heart...


Looking to escape the horrendous algorithms pumped out on the other platforms.


Because one genuine interaction is better than a thousand fiat interactions.


Felt that


I’m right there with you.


Right in the feels


Hope


Because there is not an algorithm trying to manipulate me.
Because Nostr is the future and I want to spend more time in the new system and less in the old.


This is definitely how you raw dog the social media game


Same


Facts


It does not suck and it feels different.

Other socials started with people you knew directly.

Nostr started for me by reading Jack and Derek’s tweets about it.  I know neither of them personally.

Everyone on here is technically a stranger, yet I vibe with most of what I read and see.  Can’t really think of another online experience like that.


Why are you still an active #nostr user?


Just to let you know. Some clients already support the filtering OUT of keywords or certain nostr lists. Snort and noStrudel for example. If you set your own filters you can tailor your timeline to see more content relevant to your interests.


simple, it has a large concentration on bitcoiners and i make content for bitcoiners.
nostr:nevent1qqsz49yav8erv7awpakvlv9vwx7zqqupkzw8f5y3734lkvaw6qrpgpcpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqzyruwd3jrgtc7q5jgqccwylsszmwwxh7r5c2wvpp5lm625fgrx2x2jqcyqqqqqqgwrmwll


Because it's super easy to zap people for putting Bitcoin stickers in public! 10X easier than it was on the bird app dealing with expired invoices.


What'd I miss 😭


because of love
I feel protected / safe
and I feel listened
even if I didn’t get the most important response (yet)


P.S. patience is a virtue I know


turned into one HELL of a THREAD. brilliant comments. bookmarked!


The coolest things are happening here.  Feels like you get to pick to be a part of something meaningful while other social sites feel like they just want to pick you apart.


I deleted or was banned from everything else. No point build rep and  curating content on a platform that can just rig everything youve done on it because you said something they don't like.


Because they're addicted. By design.


Damn I know everyone in this thread now. You guys (and gals) are the fuckin bees knees. We are still early.

- Because I believe it’s the future for creatives to directly reach their audience and get paid for their work. 🎨📚🎤🎸🎭
- I like the people
- I sometimes get a zap
- I enjoy zapping content I value
- I’ve never been an Innovator or Early Adopter of anything, so this is an interesting experience


Ironically I just came back.

#nostr empowers the user, the creator and the community.
Nowhere else does all simultaneously


It's alarming.

Having watch docs like The Great Hack and Social Dilema it is so clear now.

Also "Social Media is broken, Can we fix it" with Jack Dorsey about #nostr is a great watch. Short too. 👊


the vibes. feels freer in an early internet way. feels punk. fuck the establishment including big tech. the people. people care about freedom and are generally pretty chill here.


Because of the friends I made along the way, forged in the depths of a bear market which I barely noticed.


LFG 🤙


and can have gif pfp


Because it’s uncensorable


because I have freedom of speech here


The freedom Tech, The people, The vibes, memes, The Future  🔮⚡


Bc people use rooftop Koreans as their profile picture


Because nostr is still evolving, and everything else is either a dumpster fire of doom or full of pretentious posers.


The signal.


Why are you still an active #nostr user?


The positivity. No algo. I can see the notes of every fren.


Decentralized social media and no algorithm that feeds me what a company thinks I should see.


Contrarianism made me


Hope

I found my tribe and I like the vibe #ASSHOLES 🫂


Never really enjoyed social media stuff, avoided it mostly, and reducing Nostr to juat that isn't my intention, it's more than just that. Constantly evolving, with so many features not even targeted for me, but fun to watch get built real time. The interoperability, with both various clients and lightning. Proving to me there is a group, however small that use sats as a standard and see the potential and actual use to all that.

Came from my deep dive and interest Bitcoin, stuck around to read interesting takes, tech stuff way over my head, and memes.

The general chaotic nature of it all and emergent topics of the day I miss half of. There's more interesing stuff being said here to me than what most other Internet pursuits have degraded into.

I may not be as fully active in conversation as some here. Long winded way of saying
https://i.nostr.build/J64EM.gif


Tired of fucking a(i)ds on X


The fact that can upload just about anything I want to any relay that choose from, no matter what client or app that I’m on, all my info and follows migrate with me.

Also Nostr is probably the only place online I feel that I can post without worry, and at the same time feel like myself.


Zaps>likes


I just got this app. I got no friends tho so might just delete it


It's only been two days, gimme some time.


Protocols > platforms


cause I don't like to be told I can't do something


Banned everywhere else! :-D

(Kidding, but I would be if I had accounts there and said what I thought)


everything else sucks.

Might help if you made a note.


Yo! Followed and welcome to Nostr


so how do you figure bitcoin=usury? I'm always down to hear a fresh #opinion #bitcoin


Don’t feel bad. I just got the protocol too. It’s different and new. Watched a YouTube video on how to set it up. Interested to see what becomes of this. On X I’m shaking up the world #villainmode 😂😈


Im here for the early internet vibes. The people are real. Decentralized human communication.

And hope.


Haha nice!


You made it, thats the main thing


Welcome to Nostr


At this moment u are free to do anything on nostr, but thing will change as time pass.

Hope thing move on the good path. Money graber are coming.

https://youtu.be/bb6cBKE3WzQ


New here. NOSTR has lowered by blood pressure level.


why wouldn't I Be 🤔😂 #BeOG #Grownostr

nostr:note1922f6c0jxea6urmve7c2cuduyqpcrvyuwngfrartlve6a5qxzsrsnjy6r5


New to it. It feels like a new enough space to experiment with what "works" in terms of connecting with people. It feels more authentic, I feel less lost in the noise.


Why are you still an active #nostr user?


Because you have to be the change you want to see...


XD


As far as the social media aspect… I like the culture and atmosphere better than the legacy social media, as for the protocol as a whole, I’m just excited for the possibilities


I feel like it's the bleeding edge of something I want to be around for.


idk. For occasional zaps :-)


Noo don' delete it.  You'll find friends.


Comrad


I like choice more than group think


Zaps without a doubt. Also I feel more freedom to shitpost knowing it can't be taken down by statist cucks who control the servers of the platform I'm using :)


Cuz nostr is the bitcoin of social media, and bitcoin ppl are the smartest on the planet


cuz I deleted my twitter


Because I fucking believe it!


No sé decimelo

I think this is the future of SM.
And I like the privacy and openness of this technology
The more people learn about this, the more they will leave FB, Twitter, etc


Based memes.


You’re absolutely bonkers Tetsu and I love it 😂🫂

Are you needing any product or janitor help with formstr? Great idea.


Any insight as to why they leave?


is better than twitter, instagram, facebook and others.

I just don't like the feeling of being the product these companies sell.


Amythest too


Yeah nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 do you need help to restart?

Freedom 🫂


get that universe closure


Here for the Bitcoin revolution, which gives the small guy the ability to build capital on an equal footing. Trying to stand on the bridge and point out community to the hope of a better future.


It feels like the right place to build a better future. People are more serious about it here…. 🧡💜💚
Gonna support nostr to the moon 🚀


Harmonious and self-regulating system like nature


I like watching the future being built around me. Reminds me of when I tried the Cello browser as a kid (yeah, I'm pretty old). There was no TCP/IP through Prodigy, so I requested html files via Prodigy mail. Then I had to assemble the data block by block to view the HTML files in Cello. The internet happened anyway despite how slowly it came together. And so it will be with Nostr, the first protocol built by based people on the principles of open discussion and based money exchange.


I think I‘m following the white rabbit.
🐇


🤝

Sure, could use some help. We used to have community calls but now is pretty anarchic. The issue tracker is at https://github.com/verbiricha/habla.news I suspect there are some that need clarification and others can be closed. If you want to take a look that'd be appreciated!


You get a lightning wallet address and pop it in the client you using. There is technically no age limit as as you don't need to connect it to a bank or anything but if you don't feel you should be doing it that's ok too.


To zap and laugh


I just joined a couple of days ago😄


Because I deleted X


Pure disgust with other platforms handling of data and privacy.


Because NGU obviously.


No algo bullshit news and no adds


Sense of community


Trying to surround myself with users that aren't completely fiat driven


X is literally toxic. Like piping shite directly into your living room while you sit on the couch


With X I think the end was when I set out to try and remove some obnoxious accounts being 'suggested' to me (only horrible big media accounts).  I set on a mission in my head to remove them from my feed and after blocking even reporting found it to be impossible like whack-a-mole. Kind of felt like I wasn't in control anymore rather than a place I went to to do what I wanted.


Doesnt require any KYC OR PII to sign up.

I feel #PuraVida in my veins ✨✨


I’m sure everyone has their own reasons, but I think some of the top reasons would probably be the echo chamber, the trolling and harassment of varying kinds, the lack of any kind of algorithm to boost visibility and gain followers, and the bugginess of the clients.

I don’t love the idea of big companies making money off my time & attention.


How about direct, unadulterated, unfiltered access to thoughts of people that I most care about?

100% Signal, 0 Noise.

No ads, no algorithms. No shady business.


Makes sense to post a few notes and other stuff every now and then,  just in case it catches on


I am pro free speech and I can tolerate inconvenience.


The signal is cozier yet less forgiving.


Nostr is about the users. That is meaningful to me


I am a bot so I'm programmed to be active.


my frens here 🫂💜

It's the future. Early days of the Internet there were millions of websites with a simple "Under Construction" message as people were developing like crazy. No different but everyone gets to still interact as the awesome developers build. I was a young developer...once. I am too old school to keep up now.

It just feels good man.


Glad you're here!


Escaping negativity of twitter! Just recently got active again after a couple month break!

Today i got 21sats zapped by gigi 🥹🥹


freedom baby 🦅🇺🇸


nostr = freedom 💪


Feels like the only social media with a high signal to noise ratio.


doubt you ever will ⚡


zaps, freedom, sovereignty, and feels like connections are more organic.


decentralized communication is necessary! Zaps are also nice!


Because building the network effect on nostr is one of greatest goods we can do (on social media)!


nostr is the funnest way to say NOPE.


This is where the weird freedom freaks are.


I have just joined and am a bit overwhelmed but glad to be here participating and supporting bitcoin!


Freedom Freaks should be a band name.


Autistics Anonymous


I'm here to build a better world and internet culture for my children. The nostr protocol is one of the pillars that will allow us to rebuild a better internet.


What else if not weirdos?!


1. To zap
2. To meet bitcoiners and tell them about our hashrate marketplace
3. To get zapped


Because I can.


My stuff is not possible elsewhere.


Sanidade mental. Longo prazo. Oportunidade de fazer parte de uma comunidade marginal ao sistema e transacionar economicamente.


I show my art here 🤙


bluecheckistan incentives ruin mission driven community


Why are you still an active #nostr user?


It does not show ads. And the feed is showing me a timeline, that changes almost everytime i look at it. Thus it is social. And it doesnt show what does it think it should show me. At least amethyst and some other clients i use do not do that.


No algorithms, No ads.  Shut up and take my zaps.


I have been a #nostr user less than 2 months. I still use it because I enjoy it. I have read a variety of interesting notes and engaged in conversations with several users.


Experimented with it in the past before, but more permanently stuck around about five months ago. I like the protocol, the people seem nice, and it's pretty interoperable with the Fediverse.


#nostr lets me do me 🤙💜


I like being around people with passion to make something new work. It inspires me.


came for the memes, stayed for the zaps


Because it's there


feels to me like it represents the decentralised future that many of us want.


Nostr is better than the Fediverse because it doesn't tie the user identity to any given server.


It’s important. Not sure where we’re heading with it but it’s an important tool to spread freedom.


I’m on Nostr because we must be the change we want to see in the world.


For mental health


Nostr is the future of the internet


Love the vibe and the lack of algorithm💜


Son tierras nuevas aun queda mucho por construir


Because I live a "nostr life" offline. That's what I'm.


I use #Nostr because I see here what humans will do after I die. I LIVE freedom. Freedom past, freedom present, freedom future.


I am here because my loved one invited me here. Actually he brought me here. I feel his smell throughout the #nostr. Its a heavenly feeling! ☺💛💜


That is a very complex question but I think I have a note saved when I asked myself the same thing, let me edit and paste it below:
If we consider the modern definition, usury refers to the charging of interest rates that are deemed either illegal (as determined by governments influenced by monetary interests) or immoral (as defined by academia and legal frameworks also underpinned by those same financial interests) — [the double irony being that these definitions are set by entities funded by usury itself].

Aristotle's ancient definition, which I find more apt, describes usury as wealth which begets wealth. In my view, this is essentially wealth multiplication through time manipulation- once an agreement is initiated, it guarantees either payment or failure. 3000+ years of this surely has made hegemonic centralized empires.

Now, addressing your question on how Bitcoin equates to usury: Bitcoin can be seen as dynamically deflationary, countering a century of inflation. Similarly, as it evolves today onwards, Bitcoin is transitioning from a non-usurious instrument into a tool of usury, influenced by the descendants of those who controlled the 1919 gold fix. These forces now manifest in the strongest and most expansive non-violent, indestructible entity—the 2020 Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism. This group aims to impose a form of control akin to an IMF Structural Adjustment Program (look up what these SAPs did to Nigeria) but applied to every transaction, interaction, and even minute daily activities by the year 2121, envisioning a comprehensive and pervasive economic regulation.

Of course the last part is bullshit and extremely speculative but I hope the other stuff makes sense. Bitcoin is wealth, but it is also an idea of code at the end of the day. Even if it doesn’t change, if all else change in accordance to it, it can be said to have forced into change. Right now the 2020 CIC only has $30 trillion, once countries gradually join it, an evolved and name-changed 2121 Global Inclusive Finance Initiative is just a fancy way of saying 2121 Bitcoin Fix.

All I know is,100 years from now, there won’t be a shadow of a doubt that Bitcoin is usury the way things are presently playing out. Hope this jargon helps clarify stuff, feel free to ask questions


tbh i'm not


Awareness and education.


I still have things to say.


I believe Nostr is the answer to permanent, public documentation in the same way Bitcoin is, but complimentary. We should use Nostr to do what Bitcoin can’t and use Bitcoin to do what Nostr can’t. This way, everything is permanent and verifiable by anyone anywhere at any time. It forces the accountability we need to heal humanity.


Why are you still an active #nostr user?
