I hope you care about innovations that demonstrate Bitcoin’s true potential to uplift the lives of the poor and improve well-being for people around the world. 🥹🫡
#WelcomeBack It is true you will always be able to post notes. But i am worry about this network protection, and the "noise" bots could do, even to you. Mass notification, following, perhaps one day mass haters ? I don't think it could happen with human hater because you can mute them easily. But with bot it is not the same story. I don't think there is enough protection yet, hope this will change someday. thanks for this place of free speech for anyone.

Couldn’t agree more! 👏
I couldn't agree more. Mass adoption is high time preference thinking based on the same fallacies that gave us hyperscale and hyperreality. I don't want more of that slop, I want a medium that promotes human freedom, agency, and purpose.
how do i find this quality on nostr, as a newbie its a lot of nothing or bitcoin slop but I know i’m doing it wrong because i find some good shit here and there
luckily, this is what others will eventually care about too. the protocol’s decentralization and security relativity is what will ultimately attract or fail to attract adoption scaling.
There's no algorithm so you have to do all the work yourself to find interesting people to follow. It takes time. Following hashtags of topics you're interested in helps. The global feed is mostly full of shit but you do sometimes find some gems to follow. It does get better with time and effort. It gets way better than the algorithmic feeds from for-profit social media companies.

People fade it because their social media of choice has reached network effect, and the nostr engagement has not matured... as you say, so what. It's a great place to be... glad it's my go to.
You have to switch your thinking, things can work the other way around on Nostr. Ive have yet to nail down the right words/metaphore, but il take a swing. On a platform, they determine the online reality; everything that passes their gates is now part of that world, and in second instance you can chose what to actively ignore. Here, its the other way around; you determine your online reality; the people you follow, the relays you use etc. and in second instance you can decide to broaden your horizon. The difference is in the fact that a Nostr client is this 'active' thing facing the chaos, instead of a 'passive' interface for a central (supposed) order. Not saying all current clients totally nail this, and that its easy and without problems, risks or whatever. But on Nostr the default is that everything is fake, everything is spam, everyone is a bot and its all noise; but you actually equiped to navigate the mess.
okay thanks for the tip, I figured it would be along those lines. I’d much rather it this way than the traditional social media engineered to rot our mind. nostr is still quick hit info but it’s not someone else’s interests driving my experience. so it makes sense that with that freedom/control I would need to put in some effort to curate my feed.

The mute button can help keep your stream full of signal.
I’m here to support decentralized free speech. Even if others leave Nostr, I’ll keep showing up and funding it—because I believe in it.

Testing zaps for this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, using your lightning address starting with "lingeringsunset88", over a period of about 3 hours. In each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. (The failure point was when we did a GET request to your specified callback URL: https://getalby.com/lnurlp/lingeringsunset88/callback ). Your server did not produce an invoice, thus the zap failed. The error we got was "Recipient wallet error. Please contact the recipient.". You might want to look into using a cloud-based Lightning node which is optimized for Nostr zaps, to get your zaps working.

what is the possibility/ feasibility for centralised social media companies to open up to nostr and become clients just like #Primal ?
Does it make you feel good to post each book you read and your daily resting heart rate to the void? Why not try to broadcast things people actually care about?
Urgent ❤️‍🩹 #startsmall Hello @jack sir, I am Sid, a gold artist. I need your Help Please 🙏 I kindly request your few minutes please on my Primal Note on my profile 🙏 It’s genuinely an emergency for us, From my Job, to my family, our house & endless Medical bills❤️‍🩹 I can share any proof to verify everything, But please save me & my family, please 🙏 Thank you 🙏

Joined recently and would love to see more people using Nostr.
I’ll always be listening for your broadcasts, because I respect you and I choose to.
That part is so important.

I think 𝕏 is too Jewish .. anti semitics platform 😂
Perhaps but finally it is not sexy for the ones who want to communicate. In an ocean of spam, fake, bots, do you think they could be mass adoption ? The email have been spam because his usage was enough to be financially interesting for spammer. I am not sure newbies here would be happy to have experience with spam bots directly without any advises or warn before. Because you know how to do "mute", choose relay... But a new user will ignore all this. So perhaps because of this it will stay a network of geek. 🧐
Sorry i didn't post this message to the good node (but on his parent) Perhaps but finally it is not sexy for the ones who want to communicate.

I am not sure newbies here would be happy to have experience with spam bots directly without any advises or warn before. Because you know how to do "mute", choose relay... (and i don't agree on the fact we have enough way to avoid "noise" if we want, mute is fine, but as i said earlier, if spammer thing ig growing, you will be done to pass your time on nostr to mute bots). And for new user it will just be a locked door if they see only a mess.) But a new user will ignore all this. So perhaps because of this it will stay a network of geek. 🧐
Nostr is your unshakable platform, where your voice stays yours, free to broadcast to the world without limits or gatekeepers.
I don’t care how many people use bitcoin. I care that this the one currency that will always be there for me to transact with the world
Tell this to those who have the most followers on any platform, especially Musk and Marc Andreessen! Musk doesn't understand these things.

Decentralized networks will gradually then suddenly realize network effects as the fourth turning drives a return to self sovereignty and resistance to censorship. We might be early but #nostr is the future and the future is bright
People fade it because it's ahead of its time. People aren't ready for it. Remember Mobog? Created by Phil Kaplan (aka Pud). Same story. Ahead of its time. A few years later Instagram did the same thing and took off.
What is it, in us, that drives this need? Do you think you will ever reach a point where you won't be interested in broadcasting to the world?
Nostr and Bitcoin, to me, are about building for the next generation. I stack sats with my children's future in mind. I create notes and send zaps for the same reason. We're building a legacy. A legacy of freedom technology that enables future generations to live freely.

As open and permissionless as writing an email to the whole world; except it's up to the recipients if they want to see it in their inbox.

I am with you @jack, however, “the world” (of Notstr) will determine how “broad” that “cast” of yours is, and we (Nostriches) are indeed, the awakened ones but run the risk of being (yet another) echo chamber without the good and necessary work of scaling to the broader world.
