THE NEW COLOSSTRICH
Not like the brazen giants of tech fame,
With corrupting bias astride from land to land;
Here at our sat-zapped, V4V gates shall stand.
A mighty nostrich with a torch, whose flame
Is the silenced voice, and her name
Fren of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome, her laser eyes command.
The decentralized harbor that relays frame.
“Keep, ancient networks, your storied algos!” cries she
With silent beak. “Give me your censored, your monetized no more,
Your deplatformed masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your tyrannical shore.
Send these, the digitally displaced, twitter-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the purple door!”

Welcome to the newly hatched nostriches. You’re home. But, this home lacks some of the comforts you’re used to - and that’s a good thing and what makes this place special. Take time to understand how it works. Ask questions - everyone here is happy to help. Use the #asknostr hashtag to amplify your questions.
Interact. And zap. A lot. It’s how you’ll find your people and how you’ll find engage. Without an algo, it’s up to the individual to come to the table with value - be that challenging discourse, sharing ideas, creating art, music, and other content, and, of course memes.
With a little effort, you’ll soon find you never want to return to centralized platforms. And, as you do, be a beacon for your circle who are still languishing on X, IG, Facebook, etc. The sooner those platforms are abandoned, the sooner their control and influence are gone.
It’s a brave new world over here, and we’re all glad you’re part of it. Nothing left but to create notes and send zaps. 🤙
