I mentioned this earlier in a DM, but I think this deserves to break free. How do you invest in Nostr? "You invest in Nostr by creating content and being early. Being here now and being active helps cement your reputation and WoT for the future."

Just running a free and simple relay is probably the easiest way to do it. I would start playing with stirfry if you're interested. You can modify it fairly easy. Like for instance, I'm running a spam filter in front of my free relay. It's taught me a lot about how to combat spam.
I need to get my relay running, I have run one before and have the uno.dog domain to run it on and a bunch of other domains I can use. Need to fix my computer first.
Nostr is part of a broader shift toward systems built on truth, freedom, and individual sovereignty. These are the same forces that underpin Bitcoin. When you contribute your time, ideas, and creativity on Nostr, you are accelerating the transition to a more decentralized and trustworthy world.

image I'm here. Feels different. Much less desperation. More chill future vibes.
Although I think nostr is the best platform we currently have, I actually have created my own platform it started out with nostr and ipfs integration but now I do everything in house. It's unique because it's like nostr, ipfs, BitTorrent and it's all secured by blockchain metadata transactions that can actually scale to an insane amount of TPS. Follow me as I'll be releasing the white paper soon, just finalising the mesh network for 2gb file storage built in everything else is finished just some polish and stress testing then release in the new year. Here's a sneak peek at the posting dialog. Peace Nate image
Nah. Algos can be wonderful and beneficial. The reason we immediately think of them as being bad is because of how they're used in legacy social media. They're closed and they're forced upon us. If algorithms were open source and transparent and allowed user choice, I feel that people would have a much more positive view of them. We're building that here. We're allowing users to choose and create their own algorithms or allowing users choice over their attention and their feed content
Nice! Did not know this! Legacy social media algos are made with the sole intent of retaining attention by reinforcing user's own ideas and points os view, I did never thought of an algo that empowers users instead of psyoping them 😁

very cool with the old world building in the middle too could you send me a printed copy of this art? i would pay with sats, maybe 100cm x 100cm size
It is worthless then, if you depend on WoT and a reputation to thrive. That’s why is a niche platform. And it will stay that way for a very long time. With circle of people making arbitrary decisions and the inability to block them when they dox you. I prefer to be shadowbanned by the billionare, the algorithm and X AI checking balances than being shadowbanned by a couple of nobodies in their mother’s basements.
