 Can I give nostr an honest thought…

You’re not prepared 

This is an echo chamber

Nostr is selling this idea of freedom tech, but the people using it… are already masters at freedom tech 

You want a revolution? lol

Ok… nah, you want an elitist perspective of “freedom tech” 
 We just don't want to get banned from Twitter anymore  
 That’s fair, I realize that not everyone is here for the same reason… these are just thoughts from my corner of the nostrverse 
 you’re not the first or last person that says this, not a bad thing to say but not a true thing either, your perspective is that of an echo chamber by choice. Expand your network, follow more individuals actively using nostr and you’ll see why it’s wrong that we’re all masters at freedom tech, most have been learning how to free themselves after getting here not prior, this place fosters that education. Your perspective of this protocol is limited by your individual lens, there’s many ways about expanding it. 
 But have they ever been a ❤️ sweetheart ❤️ 
 cmon now, at least try lol https://i.nostr.build/fXpgDX4hcO1odA0j.jpg  
 I follow 200 more on instrgam, the reality based analytics track… I’m not a bot 
 Instagram is a platform with algorithms for content discovery 

next lol 
 lol yes, next 
 many ways to go about expanding it* 
 Thanks for saying this. But also no one really says it’s ready yet. 
 I know… I don’t expect perfection. I understand, completely. But, also… this platform is, literally, in some corners calling for war, and there’s a use case for that platform rn… so, if there is a time to be about it, this is it.

Warriors in the garden, you know… 
 wdym calling for war? 
 I really think that this problem on social media is way bigger than anyone realizes…. The way that content creators, industries, real people are absorbed into ads and marketing. These are billion dollar industries… they don’t take it lightly when you just leave these platforms. 
 The revolution will come. #nostr will get traction in waves. Each wave brings new freedom minded people and each wave will polish the user experience of nostr.
This polishing of UX is very important over time to bring over the masses. Good things take time. 🕰️ 
 You’re right. Hopefully it gets easier. I had a hard time understanding it. 
 No one’s masters, we’re all learning here at different levels. It’s ongoing. It’s only an echo chamber if you want it to be. 
 Understood thanks 
 I didn't understand this one, anyway if you're leaving, goodbye 
 I’m not leaving… that’s like “if you don’t love the US, leave” 

No, I love it here but I’ve been groomed to navigate this space over a lifetime of learning….

I’m just giving my honest thoughts. I made it here…. But there’s an onslaught of users that are being so (terrifyingly) silenced 
 silenced people seek big squares to talk, or p2p. This is a limbo 
 Fair enough 
 I've tried purple pilling and I think its even harder than orange pilling, atleast with OP people will have greed convince them to give it a look nostr is a tougher sell, also I wasn't good at OP'ing anyone anyway so.... 
 Which is crazy that it’s such a tough sell because it really is so much cooler here
