Freedom has its drawbacks.
There are too many people on nostr now...
Sadly, itβs the same as BTC.
Banger.
Hey, don't call me a Nobody! I coulda been a contender!
Yes #yestr
Yes, I like freedom very verrrry much πΆβπ«οΈ
People hate freedom. They don't want it for themselves and they sure as hell don't want it for others.
A society cucked
This is one of thr most confounding things about nostr to me; the sheer number of boot licking "just one more election and we'll have the right ones in charge" fucking morons.
The world is full of slaves who love their own chains
Guys, we need to vote harder!
Exactly!
Maybe. But you know you've seen it too.
I know*
I like it.
And bro, give me a break. People just want apps that HAVE PEOPLE ON THEM. Stop doomering.
I think people love what is comfortable and convenient.

Freedom tech is addictive, but lonely out here. Lol
Correction: Most people don't understand the importance of freedom
So many come out sooner or later as closet statists.
Thy like comfort and the fiat system enables an all inklusive lifestyle without any responsibilities.
If everyone liked freedom tech everyone will be around here and we all know not everyone are on the same page. Just look at twitter what a mess it become.
Sort of, but Nostr can feel half-hearted. What people say here is very much determined by social proof, and there's a lot of conformity and self-imposed limitations, as well as a preference for a sort of randomness and toothlessness over something more impactful. It can feel like a startup funded by a so-so VC that's trying to cater to conventional tastes, and the result is that it operates in a kind of technological and social straitjacket. Adoption may be slow because others may sense that it's too timid and that there isn't necessarily more energy than they can find elsewhere.
We are not nobody, fren. But, yes, it is odd that so many spposedly freedom loving bitcoin maxis dont love themselves enough to spend their valuably scarce time and energy also supporting Nostr. It is sad for them. But I am proud of us, and thag is all that matters.
PV.
First time since I am on Nostr I see that many likes, and comments. ππ
Nostr provides a kind of freedom, but people define that word differently, and most discover that the freedom nostr provides comes with its own drawbacks.
The grand tradition of LARPatarianism is to keep trying the same thing over and over, expecting greater results.
The formula goes like this:
1) Someone presents a novel idea (e.g. "Hey there's a lot of war going on here. Maybe less?" or "How do you do, fellow nerds, I made this decentralized currency. Please give it a whirl."
2) Idea enjoys small penetration rate
3) Libertarians notice idea is compatible with their value system. Begin propagating idea as THE solution.
4) The libertarian radicalization funnel suddenly appears.
5) Suddenly, the mission isn't about the new idea -- the idea becomes the platform upon which all the nutty libertarian ideas and purity tests are now propagated. In order to adopt new idea, you first have to be subject to hundreds of hours of libertarian free market radicalization -- Austrian economics, praxaelogy, non-agression, "child sex work is akshually a good thing!", etc...etc...
6) New idea now just becomes a recruiting tool for radical libertarianism
7) New idea languishes
Oh cmon stop doomering
"Nah X, this ain't actually 'for me'."
pointing out that something is scary is not doomering π
No, my point is to stop doomering about Nostr. We don't have the killer apps yet, and the network effect is too weak at the moment. It means more time and for the rest of the internet to get worse to push people here.
The most insufferable are the Trump apologizers and pro-ICE/Palentir police statists. π

"from a technical perspective I find it fascinating"
I use it only because of its technical properties. In essence, "Nostr" just means to me using public key cryptography to authenticate online, which I think is the correct way to "be" on the internet given the current state of technology.
I had to add some public key infrastructure for replacing lost or stolen keys on top of the base Nostr protocol for it to become genuinely usable. With that in place, I now have a technologically acceptable way of maintaining an online presence. So I'm going to use that.
Oh, that's not what I meant. What's scary is that there are so many people who don't like freedom
Idk what you're talking about honestly
Oh, the social media ban? Ooohhh. I think there's a lot of people who just don't see social media as that important. They're wrong, but still.
Well, parents SHOULD have been the ones to monitor their kids' usage, but, well, that didn't work. So what else is a society that cares to do? I'm sure they see it as a necessary evil. I don't even know what I'd do instead. The way they're doing it probably won't work, and it's a horrible step to require ID for all that, but I agree we needed something a while ago.
If only the geezers figured out how dangerous the internet could be for people, especially kids bro cmoooooon. They fumbled society lol.
You must be special to be a freedom enjoyers π«‘
We agree. I literally meant "how dangerous the internet could be" as in, how it was basically when smartphones came around lol.
Yeah kids shouldn't get everything-rectangles. Adults need to step away from the everything-rectangle regularly too.
Freedom, what's that?
We learned this in 2013
