 I don’t understand why there is so much hostility towards nostr. 
 I wish I knew what you were talking to. All I see is how amazing Nostr is. Maybe you need new friends.  
 People like to talk about ideas. They don’t like to act on them. 
 I don’t understand why there’s so much hostility towards X on Nostr. It’s supposed to be free of toxicity. 
 Me neither!

It is night/day from Twitter and I'm super bullish on it. 
 Most people can't see past the two feet in front of them. 
 Maybe they somehow like having a central authority ruling over their content 
 Change is painful. 
 freedom is scary 
 Welcome to the bitcoin life. People don't want to face something that questions their underlying reality. Such as Elon is protecting me on twitter so why do I need something else. It breaks them to try to imagine that someone else could get in power or cave to outside influence.  
 I totally agree with you  
 From who? Bluesky? 🤔
Hardly anyone has heard of Nostr tbf. 
 I have friends in different groups. They don’t really like nostr. 
 What did they not like? 🤔 Or nothing in particular? 
 Too long to type out. 😂 
 Sounds like when I ask people what they don’t like about ₿.
And they have done 0 studying 
 I don’t think that they like the content or the people here. I like both so I’m trying to figure out where the disconnect is. 
 The most common complaint is not enough content. I assumed that was a factor. It has improved a bit since when I first got here. But it's still a strange environment for people not coming from bitcointwitter/telegram. Cos it still is kind of an offshoot, culture-wise. 
 Yeah that’s probably it. I wasn’t into it at first but just rode the wave. My feed changed as I followed more people. 
 We’re early here only 40k people using this right now 
 True. 
 It feels like there is growing momentum and interest in followimh-topic rather than following-accounts clients. Which could promising  
 I have hope in nostr very little could change that. 💜 
 Same. Painting Nostriches everyday.
In the last 6-7 weeks I’ve shipped 7 international paintings.
Wild , been selling art for 16 years, but never globally 
 CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 
 Try letting them login with your npub, so they can see what you see on nostr 
 It’s left such a sour taste that I’m not even going to speak about nostr anymore. It causes too many problems. 😂 
 Everyone gets mad when the hot girl starts hanging out with the nerds. 
 Nostr = 🪞 

You see what you are 
 this generation hates what it cannot control. 
 I always talk about nostr. Haven't encountered any hostility, just indifference. They just don't think it's big enough.
