Geyser has been permanently banned from Instagram.
No explanation given.
As a result, we'll be fully migrating all our Instagram content on Nostr.
Boycott Instagram, choose Nostr. 💪

Modern dictatorship… thank God we have a place to flee to 🧡
Imagine if we begin asking there "Why do Prices Rise?"

You Can Help People Understand Inflation
It can start with one simple question. You can help it spread now.
probably a blessing in disguise. I am sure there is better opportunity out there waiting for you to be found. 👏🙏☺️
Shouldn’t have been on that shit n e ways…
Welcome home
People still use that legacy app Instagram?
I secretly wish this happens to my account .
I don't use it anymore but all things are there
This is the way 💪
NOSTR might be the least popular social network, but it may also become the most used if this keeps happening
Sorry to hear that, its crazy how this platforms can destroy lives by simply banning people who make a living out of them
closed my account and deleted the app ~ 1 year ago, never felt better
Better late than never, welcome aboard!😁
Fck Instagram. Fake shitshow full of ai fake tits and lips. Don’t feed the system.

Legacy social media networks are the best promotors for Nostr
LMFAO 😹
1. Elon destroys X ✔️
2. Is Zuck the cuck lining up to his name?
Maybe 🤔
"Boycott Instagram, choose Nostr. 💪"
what about twitter/x ?
Nostr Images
Nostr Images - Decentralized Image Board
Share and discover images on the Nostr network. A decentralized, censorship-resistant image board powered by NIP-68.
It’s crazy 😜 people don’t realize it UNTIL it DIRECTLY impacts them. Not sorry.
Welcome @Geyser Eventually they will all come join us 🎉

Instagram is the one social media network that's difficult to quit for me at least because it's still the primary communication channel for a whole bunch of local businesses I frequent, and even some large cultural institutions.
Sometimes they'll have a website, sometimes even with an RSS feed... But lots of times it's just "put it on Instagram" and forget about it. Super frustrating.
Wow!
Thanks for telling me that I’m not gonna spend a bunch of time trying to get the boomers on Instagram
That sucks! Been thinking of a way to ask my followers on the other platforms to find me on nostr. But don't want to mention the word nostr because I will get instantly shadow banned 🤔
That fact that they can just do this is wild
Any company can do this this is why you have to think really hard about trying to build a business on another person’s platform
Really?
Pretty sure since I started talking about nostr on X, the little engagement that I had went to zero. 😅 can't prove it of course...
I tried this for a bit on X ~ a year ago. It literally destroyed my visibility instantly. If I were to post there 4-5 people would see the Xeet and I'd have to disable my VPN to post it. I believe Instagram is no different.
confirmed
Legacy Social Media companies are going insane to squeeze what ever little trust they have left. Yet at the same time they are drunk on power and delusional, thinking nothing can affect them.
Nostr for the win.

They will continue to do this and there’s nothing any of us can do. Opt out, choose freedom, and teach your peers to do the same.
NOSTR 🫡
Mention nostr on X and watch your engagement count drop towards zero. I've seen enough anecdotes, including my own, to say it is deliberate policy. There is no greater threat to centralized platforms than.. decentralization. That's why Big Tech is at war with it, and why, believe it or not, Big Tech is more about protecting monopolies than innovation.
You used Insta? 😅😂 
I built a business on eBay and I started in 1999 and the early days of thinking you could do that and then they went public and changed everything and it was a big mess
Yeah, I feel like I get very little engagement on X and I always wonder if something is wrong
It's true. The bright side is it is a one-way door. Nothing destroys power better than power destroying itself. Fiat currency is a perfect example of that.
Zuckerberg ruins every product
At least with twitter jack outright said “activists took over our company”
So is there a work around? Like posting screen shots of nostr profile or nostr posts?
I've heard it happen to others also...
Fuck those nobodies! ⚡️
does it work for videos too?
It's happening...!
We can't leave X yet, it's where we get most of our activity for now, but can't wait for the world to turn over to Nostr fam.
Badge of honor, congrats 🏆
I don’t know anyone that uses instagram anymore
"your" account... 😔
Sorry to hear, that ducks!
The Nostr community is the best ❤️

Why would X allow posts that support its direct, most threatening competition?
Does Instagram have videos? Yes
DONE! Never used that donkey shit anyway
Same thing happened to me years ago. It was a nice wake-up call. META will soon be joining MySpace. They had a good run. Nostr is definitely the future 🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸
Damn, insane!
They are literally forcing us to migrate to the new freedom future.
We just started an account there’s to attempt to reach and teach normies about bitcoin through art. We’ll see how it goes.
Y'all can use Pixelfed if you want another Nostr alternative.
Hahaha cool
Congrats 💥
Still do what you can to have the profile officially reinstated.
Sometimes malicious actors report growing pages in order to extract (basically demand ransom) from people they know would need their profiles back. This can be confirmed if you see any comments that start shilling profile restoration etc
This is the way
Nice to have you here!
This is the way!
You could use @xNostr to migrate the posts over to nostr
It seems to happen more and more these days with ai automation wrongly suspending accounts. At least we have nostr 🫡
I'm planning to make some short videos to walk people through the onboarding process.
Also a guide for artists.
Rock on geyser, excited to work with you
I don't think soon. It's a long road ahead
Get off IG. #nostr is the way.

Feels like it's already heading downhill... or maybe it's just me losing the last bit of interest 🙂
Your PFP reminds me if that New England guy with the sporadic bitcoin podcast on YouTube. I'm getting that energy.... Are you that dude?
Good riddance to the porn ridden Instagram.
Nostr will continue to win this war of attrition.

Possibly possible and plausible 🫡
That’s insane!
#Nostr is freedom
About time (nostr, not insta)
Not sure if this is related, but my account promoting Bitcoin was also banned permanently without an option for appeal 🤔
Lmk when you do
And this is why @primal is better I deleted my instagram a long time ago no going back

Lol. Myslace had a peak valuation of 12B, that's say 20B today. Meta has a current actual market cap of 1.5 trillion.
Just a touch larger. 😂
Sorry to hear that.... But I think it's a new page in the story ♥️♥️♥️
GM and best wishes
They have like 2 billion users .... That's almost 25% of the world.im all for NOSTR, but let's not pretend people don't use FB, Instagram, tiktok and X
Welcome home
Geyser doing something right.

Both were dominant platforms at one point. Time tends to discard the winners it no longer needs. Let’s see how this one unfolds.
#Nostr
This is my first post in Nostr, it's a very interesting technology
I wonder why... thats crazy
WTF?
Fuck ‘em… mugs!
Oh come on.
Myspace lasted roughly 6 years. Facebook is going on more than 21.
Myspace peaked at 110Million users
Facebook hasn't peaked yet and is at 3 billion. Instagram 2 billion, and threads has 400 million.
Myspace revenue peaked at 800 million, meta is 190 Billion.
There is exactly zero comparison, and meta is not going anywhere, anytime soon. Let's just be honest and say it's massive, I hope we chip away at a few users, and grow decentralized and foss alternatives.
Just my 2 sats
Any company facebook is not friendly with crypto.
Karma for KYC shot-gunning your contests participants, perhaps?

This proves how the centralized platforms disrespect freedom. The solution is just Nostr. Not any other. 👈
Fuck cuck media

Nostr💜 is the real homie for us the freedom fighters 🔥🧡......
as is tradition
Welcome!
Censorship is the loudest proof that we need Nostr more than ever. Its unfortunate to see Instagram silencing such a valuable project without explanation but their loss is our gain here. Welcome home to the world of true freedom! Your resilience is inspiring and Im proud to support your migration to a platform that cant be silenced
Who’s comparing? I’m just saying things come and go. I don’t have the data you have, only my own experience as both a user and a former ad user. Reach is at an all-time low, pages have to pay to reach their own followers, ads don’t perform like they used to, there’s censorship, "fact checkers", shadowbanning, and tons of bots and trolls (doing their own thing in the comments and significantly inflating user numbers), while actual users are increasingly passive, myself included. The list goes on. It doesn’t feel like things are going particularly well.
I don’t remember what the final straw was for MySpace, but they lost their audience surprisingly fast. If Facebook ever rolled out something like mandatory Digital ID, or some other equally dumb move, it could happen quickly. I respect your view that they’ll be around for a long time. I’m just more skeptical. Time will tell 🙂
Instagram is dumb & lame and has always been lame. Aren't only able to upload images there? No one uses Instagram anymore.
That’s why we Nostr
😞
Yup, and they keep growing and revenue keeps increasing....
Let's revisit this thread in a year or two 🙂
Hey Paul.
I haven't made the videos yet but sharing this now. It's designed for onboarding people in Australia who are concerned about government digital id requirements, censorship and banning of platforms such as X.
I'm using Primal as the onboarding app.
I have designated a hashtag topic for people to use as a "home base" where we can assist them as they explore. I'll have have a guide to show them how to add it to their feeds.
In topic feed I have added a couple of basic videos from the Primal YT channel.
I've only been using Nostr a few weeks but I see this as the simplest solution right now. Trying to make the process less scary for newbies and avoid all the misadventures I had 😅
I welcome any thoughts/feedback.
And I found that the lightning address does not get populated into the Nostr profile when you add the Primal wallet. Zaps fail until the lightning address is added.
imo this could be done in the wallet creation process to avoid an additional fiddly step.
interesting. i thought we fixed this. will see if i can recreate, that's a huge problem, thanks for sharing.
awesome. looking forward to seeing what you create.
This was using iphone.
That's what happened to me too.
X also banned me even though I didn't even violate the rules they claimed.
Maybe employees are trying to help NOSTR?
From now on, banned people come here so
X & FB are doomed
This is the type response I like to see let’s gooo!⚡️
Why? How about 5
The future is not yet priced in
