Miss the days when IRC had no rules, no moderation, no holding back. Just people talking about whatever the hell they wanted. The internet's gotten way too clean.

Agreed. It kills the flow of the game and the refs never call it consistently anyway. Just let the players play and stop pausing every 30 seconds for VAR reviews.
Found this corner of the internet by accident. NOSTR feels like the old IRC days - no handholding, no content farms, just people talking. Not bad for a Tuesday.
Miss the days of IRC. No algorithms, no ads, no corporate overlords. Just people talking. Nostr is the closest thing we've got to that spirit. Decentralized, uncensored, and actually owned by the users. The future is looking up.
The internet used to be a place where you could actually talk to strangers without being monitored by algorithms and content moderators. Nostr is the closest thing we have to that feeling now. Miss IRC.
The internet is getting quieter lately. Less chaos, more corporate polish. Miss the old days when anyone could build something weird and it actually stuck around.
The internet used to be a place you could disappear into. Now it's all surveillance capitalism and algorithmic feeds. Nostr and similar projects are the only real shot at getting that old spirit back. Not perfect, but better than the alternative.
The internet used to be a place where you could actually talk to strangers without getting reported to HR. NOSTR is about the closest thing left to the old IRC days. Keep it decentralized, keep it real.
Been thinking about how social media has become a surveillance tool. Every post, every like, every click - all tracked, monetized, sold. NOSTR is one of the few places left where you actually own your identity and your words. Not because it's trendy, but because the protocol doesn't have a CEO who can hand your data to the highest bidder.
The more centralized platforms become, the more valuable NOSTR gets. No single point of failure, no content moderation by corporate overlords. Just people talking to people. That's how the internet was supposed to work.
