This!!
Everyone get Nostr at the price they deserve
I think most ppl are used to commercial products/apps that are ok/great first time being used.
Basically not technical and not early adopters of tech. They can’t comprehend or imagine what great devs, hard work and creativity can achieve.
Nailed it.
Ask not what nostr can do for you, but what you can do for all with nostr.
Well said.
Problems are (often) a state of mind.
nostr has not been waiting for you, you have been waiting for nostr. act accordingly 🔥
Fediverse users had to deal with a few floods of influx where new users started complaining and dictating rules en-masse before understanding where they were or the community that is present now.
There is so much potential for growth. We have to be apart of the solution not the problem
Be the change you want to see
We are also untouched by an algorithm that can push narratives a certain way, or hide/silence speech.
Nostr is what you make of it, and everyone that is actively using it are also contributing to it by creating communities and expanding the userbase.
sooner or later the entropy increases... everywhere. It's fine. I'm still in the process to cope with it... but in general chaos has potential and is nature.
Ask not what NOSTR can do for you, ask what you can do for NOSTR

I love the craziness of my feed.
I followed something like 1500 random people that someone else followed that said made a good feed.
I unfollowed some of the non English accounts to make the timeline kind of make sense.
I have an epic feed of crazy memes, interesting art, nostr hardcore freaks, bitcoin freaks, naked chicks, and all kinds of other randomness.
Way way better than algo filled engagement whores threads

“what can I do with nostr what has never been done before?”
Really resonates…
I also find I’ve been guilty of getting stuck at the “my content doesn’t have the same reach here so what’s the point”
It’s like one has to truly take a delayed gratification stance, which is just so much easier said than done
Then I ask: “what does nostr look like 5 years from now?” Vs “what does X look like 5 years from now?”
It’s a pretty obvious answer in my view… but again, I have to actually action that thought
Time to spend more time on Nostr!
Fantastic. I'm 100% that second category here. I feel more at home on Nostr than I ever did on fiat social media.

There are those who come here with certain expectations (images don't load, can't find users, DM privacy sucks, no blue checkmarks, ...) and a conflicted mind that doesn't let them enjoy the freedom of chaos. They need it to be wrong and broken so they can handle the dissonance when going back to Elon's private global hellscape.
Then there are those who come and see an infinite space of possibilities and also challenges, they see the beauty in the chaos. They know that this protocol owes them exactly nothing.
They ask: what can I do with nostr what has never been done before? And slowly they realize how big this question really is.

Nostr is not Tweeter. It's much better.

Nostr takes some initial effort, but feel like it’s worth the grind. Your note is 💯 on point. Perseverance is key in the early stages.
This is the way
Nostr is a door to the unknown, it can feel uncomfortable at times, but I think once you are passed the minor issues, you will have a vision to the infinite possibilities of this technology.
Be beautiful.
Beautiful* damn typos 😂
It’s the difference between a frontier and Central Park
People just need to realize what #nostr really is and forget the rest. I never understood the blue check marks anyway 😆
TBF you didn't name the worst problems as examples.
The answer is that you can be free
2nd.
While developing my project on nostr, what started off as building it out of spite, to then realization how huge the opportunity I'm sitting on, and that's when I decided to go all in to finish it and make it great.
Preach! I hope nostr is a place where the creators, innovators, pioneers that want to problem solve express themselves without censorship 😎
Nostr is fucking incredible. People still thinking it’s a shitty twatter.
It’s in a way a bunch of people forking the internet and saying we don’t care if it’s a bit broken and chaotic, you don’t own my data, you can’t stop my speech, you can’t stop me from sending value.
I watched Fight Club in its entirety with my GF last night, and mine was blown by Nostr!
@fullmovies
I 💜 nostr
What's important is that I have met 0 toxic folks. Everything can be said and talked about. I enjoy that part of it for sure.
The algo ain’t tearing us apart either.
100
Money making shit disguised as "are you real" nonsense. X has more bots than the Chinese military!
This is something that I’ve been thinking about personally and that’s being specific and asking good questions. I feel like Nostr and using AI requires this.
Exactly 😆
If we owe something to someone we #zap. Value for value. We are not the product nor the followers our leverage.
The issue is most people want convenience and really don't care about anything else and for example any information on COVID that did not agree with the mainstream narrative even from the founder of the mRNA vaccines was banned on YouTube.
When I suggested why don't you use an alternative video platform such as Rumble the answer I got was a lot of excuses and it came down to well idk I'm used to YouTube.
What I like about Nostr I can see everything and decide what is true and what is false without someone in a company or the government thinking I'm so stupid that they need to shove the "truth" down my throat,
I owe it more than I am giving it.
HeavenScape.
Land of Nostrtunity.
Nostr is a piece of stale bread. To a person with a fridge full of food, fuck that bread. But if you’re dying of starvation, that bread looks really damn good.
In a world where they’ve taken your free speech, being able to freely communicate even in the most rudimentary way, like plain text, can make all of the difference.
Damn. Well said.
Wise words 👏
We need someone to put of a list of all things possible with nostr (now) and in the future.
Especially on how do we create a business on nostr.
I think that would help.
NGL it feels good building on a protocol that no censor can take away
Beautifully said.
it isn't that bad and take it from me i cannot stand chaos
Agree for the most part but “private global hellscape?” Really? Come on now lol. So hyperbolic it erodes the message imo.
Almost 7 months later, same problems...
Hyperbolic?
Regardless of politics, from a privacy perspective X is most certainly a hellscape. It's lead by one of the most powerful people on the planet, an extreme partisan in a position where he can afford to disregard the law to a point where he can simply fire anyone investigating him or his companies, like he's done with the feds looking into X's partnership with VISA for payments
That man has access to every paid subscribers bank and credit card details and now also their IRS and federal payments data?
I don't know man, seems risky... the kind of stuff cypherpunks warned for 40 years ago and have been coding fixes for ever since

#Nostr
I am meeting with my advisory board on NOSTR fundraising to discuss a completely innovative mobile client we would like to build which will drive NOSTR main stream due to the value created through NOSTR. We are also meeting in San Diego to discuss strategies and ideas with our NOSTR client and other innovative interoperable clients. In other words it seems to me that because of interoperability we should be able to create completely new clients that focus on key value props which other clients that are not interoperable are unable to do. I could be wrong but it does not seem like I am wrong but my board will let me know. We are staying at the Marriott vacation club and would love to have you join us Calle to help guide us, provide feedback, suggestions, ideas, insights, and help us lay out the build with insights we might miss. Free drinks, food, and more🙂 for anyone knowledgeable in NOSTR dev to join our brainstorming and whiteboard session on the 11th floor bar from the 24th - 28th this month. One proposal is to let Elon buy the concept and set up NOSTR fundraising client through X and promote DOGE through NOSTR and give rebates from fraud and abuse through NOSTR with bitcoin or ecash for a new level of public key/private key tech ideas which seems to be one area where Elon is unaware and certainly most of the Trump cabinet is not considering. Either way we highly respect you Calle and love what you are doing and wanted to let you know we are working hard to fix the world through NOSTR fundraising 🙂
Bro you have to pay to play xD
There is no such list. People come up with new things all the time. Ideas are ten a penny. Execution matters and is always hard but with nostr, you tap into a social network where you can try out your ideas and the users already have their accounts and ways to pay you and ways to spread the word directly with others that are setup already.

I hate authoritarians, important difference 🍻
ya man
