Oddbean new post about login | logout Nostr seems to be where all the kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s, and all the kids who wish they could have grown up in the 80s and 90s, hang out. I love it. 😂💜
And it's fucking awesome
Yes 🙌
Great decades, The best of times 🔥
I've noticed that. There does seem to be an awful lot of people here who are "Our age", I wonder why that is🤔.
I think people that grew up to see the early days of the internet remember how much fun it was and find something similar in the new-ness and free-ness and novelty of nostr. Plus we had the patience to wait for dial up and deal with hacking things together so we don’t mind shuffling through the mess here. That’s my theory at least 😂
Makes sense😬.
Exactly, it didn't all work perfectly, it wasn't all instant, but all the people were real. And it felt like there was a real link between what happened online and what happened in the real world. You could actually meet a girl online *gasp*. And that's exactly what Nostr feels like, a link to the real world through the internet. Which is ironic because the accounts on here are just cryptographic keys, whereas fiat social media (sorry I know it's cringe to call everything fiat, but it really is fiat social media) feels so disconnected from the real world, even when people have their real identities on there!
💯
I would tend to agree with that theory
💯 as a child of the 80's and 90's I concur.
🙌🔥
that's basically generation X btw
Yea, X and older millennials. Seems to be a heavy concentration of that age group among nostr users. At least those who have doxxed their age 😂
well, i think Prodigy summed it up in their album title: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/86/TheProdigy-MusicForTheJiltedGeneration.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_for_the_Jilted_Generation and they aped the Pepsi marketing font on this title too which is quite funny we were the children of the hippies, is why, and that whole thing was a psyop
As someone born in 2000, I couldn't agree more🤣
Yes 🙌 🤣
#YESTR
Make the Internet fun again!
💯🙌
YES #YESTR nostr:nevent1qqswzfk3p83p52sxjhac55h2tr7v80fsj0965s7r0zzu3twjxflyylgpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsyg8cumryxsh3upfysp3suflpq9kuud0u8fs5uczrflh54gjsxv5v4ypsgqqqqqqs4m59cs
I think this is the best description of Nostr to date.
😂🫡
Accurate as fuck. nostr:nevent1qqswzfk3p83p52sxjhac55h2tr7v80fsj0965s7r0zzu3twjxflyylgprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsyg8cumryxsh3upfysp3suflpq9kuud0u8fs5uczrflh54gjsxv5v4ypsgqqqqqqsqytvp7
This reminds me how old I am. 😂😂😂
😂😭
couldn’t of said it better myself
🫡
It is well spoken
100 mother fuckin percent!! 90s were a great time to be a kid. Miss those days!!
🙌
It’s because so many folks here remember the internet as being a cool new thing with so much potential, not just a place where Fb and Yt lives … and where the corporate world bombards you with a neverending stream of ads.
💯
Once again living in the 90s 💜
Soooo, it’s all old people? Not a good sign 😆
There are plenty of younger people here too. That’s who I meant by “those who wish they grew up in the 80/90s” 🤣
Damn Straight 🕺
Where is Digit then?
I know great protocol we feel born again!
This is a vibe
Yeeeeeep mmmm 😋
This is kinda how it felt. If you were on IRC back in the day, it meant you were a high openness or early adopter technical person. It wasn’t just a bunch of mops everywhere clicking clickbait and doomscrolling. It was edgy and it wasn’t just a couple mega corps running servers, it was hundreds of tiny tribes.
💯🤝
I miss the IRC days!

Come home when the street light comes on!
🤣🤝
Let me find my parachute pants and Air Force 1s…..
Great call. If you think about it, stripping out all the big-tech algo stuff moves the experience “backwards” in time to when anonymity wasn’t a scary word, it was just normal. “Influencers” as a term didn’t exist. And no offense to whoever made the button, I don’t “follow” any of you. I just allow your content to be visible for as long as I value it.
Accurate.
We are so lucky. We have experienced the evolution of computers and now we are being part of Bitcoin changing the monetary system. Amazing 😎 https://m.primal.net/MDBA.jpg
