 Nostr is by far the friendliest social network I've ever experienced.  
 Probably. At least so far. 

Not with onboarding, though.  
 Yeah, steeper learning curve. But, where else do you see a bunch of people all wishing each other a good morning every morning? 
 In person, in a good environment.  
 GFY. 
🫂 
 i try 🤣🤣🤣 
 True 
 @Fiat Shenanigans 🤡🌎 I used nostr for like 2 days, then went back to activitypub 
 You're still on nostr 😏 
 What is activitypub? 
 Ha! Only if you support #bitcoin or crypto. 
 GM 👋 
 Same 💯 
 Enjoy it… 

When the masses come, they find ways to ruin it, but by then, we’ll be power users 🤙🏽 
 GM 😌 
 Don't worry, the asshole laggards will show up eventually. 
 One could say they've already arrived, but muting is wonderful 😊. Your small world network can still be high signal if you maintain it 
 For now.  
 not that difficult looking at all the others 😂 ... but i know, what you mean, i feel the same 🫂🍻 
 Your post is being widely read.

 IDK, i see a few on here using derogatory language in the name of "free speech". Smelling like corporate social media.  
 That's because there's a higher expertise bar to cross. The easier it becomes the more users we will see and the more users there are the more visible the bad stuff will be. 
 Same, by far 
 I am wondering if this is because interactions are more locally constrained, i.e. stronger echo chambers 👀 
 That may play a role, although Bitcoin is really the only thing that we all agree on. Diverse opinions on any other subject. 

We seem to be developing our own unique culture on here. 
 When I look at the global nostr feed I don't see much #Bitcoin 👀 Maybe there are other interest groups here and the interaction is just very limited because we don't use recommendation algorithms and instead rely on follows
