Самая слабая сторона Ностра это дурной маркетинг. Ностр — не соцсеть. Не строгом смысле слова, а в самом бытовом. Люди не понимают, как работает интернет, не догадываются, что такое хостинг и т.д. Продавать им Ностр как соцсеть значит множить число разочарованных. Пути развития два и оба имеют место не исключая друг друга: а) строить сервисы на базе Ностра (а там снова реклама) б) строить инструменты для самостоятельного использования протоколом.

Part of being sovereign is having the skills and knowledge to take care of yourself. If you don't develop those, then you'll always be dependent on The Platform, and just jump around from platform to platform whenever they rug pull you. That being said, if you can drag and drop your files around your computer into different folders, then you can find hosting solutions for your content, often times for as little as $1 a month. I use

Establishing a secure connection ...

for my content, and I've also use

Satellite

satellite.earth

for hosting content. Both let you pay your bills in bitcoin if that's important to you. Here's a walkthrough on setting up Bunny if you're interested in being more sovereign with your content.

Don't be afraid, you can learn. It's quite liberating. 🫂

I hear what the guys are saying but I don't pay anything, there are tradeoffs with that obviously as they mentioned. You can use Nostr completely free if you want or you can be as technical as you want. Nostr is free to anyone. Derek is coming off a bit like, you must do this or.... fuck that, do as you please GM🫂

Not so sovereign then. Freedom comes with that responsibility. The choice is yours ... as Gigi replied. Over time you will like it once you dig into it, because freedom clears you up from within.

You're not using nostr for free, you're being subsidized by charitable people.

I'm in favor of 2, I'm not quite ready for 3, but will get there one day. Question now is, which relays to support and who to pay?
