Nostr is my favorite social network Iโ€™ve ever used. I love so much about it here, not least of which are the other people using it who value a better future online than the legacy centralized platforms give us. Its openness allows anyone to easily communicate and send/receive payments, instantly anywhere in the world, with no KYC necessary. It is truly incredible. That same openness also makes it a really appealing and easy target for scammers who want to take advantage of legitimate users. I will never apologize for calling out bullshit scammy behavior when I see it.

Preach! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Nostr is the line. If youโ€™re here to run games, test the waters, or play peopleโ€ฆ.you picked the wrong place.
the future is bright and sometimes you have to shout that ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
I don't want to fully dox the real girl in the pics, but there's proof in the zap ratio, the Twitter being suspended, the IG going private, the Throne being removed, as well as talking to the real girl. It'd be really easy to prove yourself, much like it would'vd been easy for Craig Wright to prove himself

Has humanity forgotten what freedom feels like? Did they never care for it? Is there a connection between the malaise for personal freedom and the scale of consumer debt? View quoted note โ†’
