Someone calls me Snow White without the dwarfs. Meet my nocturnal zoo.

I finally had a chance to properly read this, and not only did I really enjoy it, but you’ve inspired me to write my own “why I am here and what I’m hoping to get out of Nostr” kind of thing. I think it’s such a good way of putting yourself out there. Thank you!

Dear #Nostr ! You’ve spent the last week showing one curious #normie your strange little world; here’s a doorway into mine. If you have 10–15 minutes to spend inside someone else’s life, I hope mine is an interesting place to visit. Let me know if you’d like more. #NostrReads #GrowNostr P.S. Sorry for the spam.

#Normie on #Nostr, Day 7. A week ago when I joined, I didn’t really think of becoming part of the community. I figured I’d just upload my manuscripts and hope they outlive me on relays. Free perpetual-ish online storage. Then I got here, looked around, and I liked it! I like all of the non-normie sass, and I hope to learn from you guys! I am genuinely confused though whether the non-normie locals want more people to join Nostr, or would rather keep it the small, highly technical, self-selecting community it already is. From what I’ve seen so far, I certainly don’t get the overwhelming impression that making Nostr more appealing or intelligible to normies is a priority. #GrowNostr

Dear #Nostr community, It’s only my 4th day here, and someone has kindly offered to help me explore different clients. She just needs a screenshot of my public and private keys. What’s the best way to send it to her if my DMs aren’t working? I originally registered through #Primal, but I’ve since learned that Android devices might offer a more interesting Nostr experience. Unfortunately, I’m a self-confessed #normie, and I haven’t quite figured out a lot of stuff yet. Just kidding. I haven’t lost my #nsec (yet). Just checking if y’all are still paying attention. #AskNostr

I came here thinking I had no particular business being on Nostr. The more I understand what you’ve built, the less I understand why so many of you use it primarily as a Bitcoin discussion forum. I suspect this place has considerably more to offer than its locals have yet had occasion to discover.
