Sure. Thereโs a voidโฆ if youโre not looking!
HELL YA!!!!! I wonโt use a centralized platform. No Facebook, no X, no Instagram!
This is the way ๐ค

I'd rather not go back to mainstream social media whatever happens to Nostr.

To the void..... and beyond
This week my Facebook profile was blocked again for a generic reason. The message said my profile had "suspicious activity" and they didn't give me any other explanation. I tried contacting support to understand what had happened and they didn't even respond. It wasn't the first time this happened but it will be the last, never again Facebook, from now on I only use NOSTR.
While I suppose it's possible that there may be a future alternative to nostr that's better at doing nostr, I will *never* go back to conventional social media... In fact, I had already abandoned conventional social media even before I discovered nostr.
Going down swinging ๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐ค
A billboard in the desert. I feel bad for the people who built the most amazing billboard with no roads to see it.
Still new here but definitely refreshed to see no ads and forced algorithms
Iโll never go back to social media. Itโs either Nostr or hanging out with birds and bees in the great outdoors.
Funding a Google ad campaign could raise awareness among the masses?
Nostrโs technical foundations continue to improve at a steady pace. As the rest of the world drifts toward a '1984' reality of mandatory digital IDs, Nostr will stand out more than ever as a vital beacon of freedom.
The revolution will not be ad-based algorithmically manipulated to simulate engagement and growth.
It shall be one step at a time, going through glitchs, bugs and non-complacency.
We #grownostr , because it can give us the free open internet we dream of ๐๐ฅ
Completely agree ๐ช๐ฅ๐
Using their rails to bring people over is cool, but we must be ready to retain them and give them an objectively better experience than they can have anywhere else. ๐ช๐
Sounds good ๐ช๐
Nostrโs beauty in a nutshell ๐
Standing by your side!!!!!!

Iโm gonna stay in this void, rather the going back โฆ
View quoted note โ"Engagement" is an ad company metric. They sell your attention. That's their game.
Nostr wasn't built to win that game. It was built to let you leave it.
A protocol doesn't need millions of users. Email works with two people. The value is the capability, not the crowd.
Keep posting. The void is listening.
I understand how you are feeling. I have been through the same route as you but I am more the convinced we are on the right side of history ๐ฅ
Who said it's dead it is unwell yes but it can be better, algorithms are not inherently a bad thing especially if you can choose a right one among many.
Had some people I follow complain about the lack of growth and engagement which caused this post.
i need everyone to be so serious for only one second
this is like barely any adversity

I was one of the first two political bans on Twitter. Despite some people being unbanned, I am informed by people close to Twitter that I am on a list of people not allowed to use the Internet, and permanently barred from the service. I will not be getting unbanned.
If you use centralized social media, as far as I am concerned, it is no different than snitching. You are encouraging your friends to use a platform that is inherently controllable by the state and actively moderated by multiple state and ethnic authorities. Those who have done time or know targets of law enforcement will be familiar with the concept of โdry snitchingโ โ essentially, putting information that you know law enforcement will be interested in within public view or some sort of side channel, in hopes that you will be spared interrogation.
Using centralized services is dry snitching. Itโs controlled, itโs moderated, and those who use it at this point should be called rats that cede control of the social graph to every form of wicked undesirable imaginable. Yids, sodomites, trannies, filipinos, lawyers, hybernians โ all of them can have you and everyone you know silenced and surveilled on Twitter and Facecrook. At this point, people are willfully enabling this, and I operate by prison rules. If you sit at the snitch table, you should be assumed to be a snitch yourself.
1 follower on Nostr is more precious than a million on ZOG platforms to me.
Bring back the guillotines.
Why is everyone saying it's dead? Doesn't feel that way to me.
100%
There is no road back, nostr opened all of us eyes
After nostr All other algo platforms obviously became very boring regardless of content quality
View quoted note โI went back to legacy after 1 year of being off of it. Wanted to keep in touch with friends. Itโs a love/hate relationship.
My engagement here is higher than on X ๐
And yet you're still on nostr. Perfectly legit to do both. ๐ซก
Haha good point, I feel as if the tendency is to be ride or die here.
Some tend to be maximalist everything, each to their own. I like having different vibes around me. ๐
Well vibe on
@HERMETICVM keep up the good work on spreading the good news of vibes ๐ค๐
Thanks for being a kind soul, man. ๐
Pay no heed to the retardation, Nostr isn't dead. It's probably a rumor spread by bots. They want you to go back to Twitter and engagement farm with the other robots.
Maybe it's just psyops to discourage people from fixing the internet?
Nah, just a few maximalists burnt out or disillusioned. Happens to the best of us. None of them had bot or glowie vibes.
I hope that when the last relay breaks down you'll fix it, run your own relay, and keep posting. Just so the void can keep listening.
Kind of cynical, but nonetheless, your perspective is interesting. Thank you.
Nostr is here to stay. We are a bunker when the censorship bombs start flying
All hail to the void!
We can acknowledge differences between platforms from a non purely ideological point of view.
Some people want more than to post into the void. They want engagement, even down to the tiniest of niches. And maybe thatโs just a numbers game and we arenโt there yet. But itโs also a bit of a catch 22.
You need numbers to gain numbers.
I literally screamed into the void for years on Mastodon because most either blocked or defederated me. I don't judge anyone using other platforms.
Just think that judging by the usual metrics doesn't work because the core elements might endure the coming years of public private partnership dystopia.
I'm only interested in Sufism and I'm not settling on any path.

I think the reason nostr is quieter than usual was because last week all the warmongering fake bitcoiners started attacking everyone that's anti war.
Just seeing all that hate, and all the people making excuses to support Trump knowing he is a pedophile.
It drove quiet a few newer people away.
A lot of the larger accounts on here getting muted for being war mongers as well.
So just overall less interaction, people putting themselves into echo chambers or leaving when they get attacked by mobs of war mongers
True! Same here!
The look you give when someone says nostr is dead for the 57th time :
View quoted note โAgreed. The quality of communication and ideas on nostr is way beyond any big tech social media.
*sigh* Media cons confuse platform with protocol
i didn't say nostr was a platform.
This is about the whole idea of "growing Nostr", "death of Nostr". Nostr is and will be live when there are people interested in running relays, developing/maintaining protocol and apps.
They want but what they give?
Indeed! So at least two Nostr users will be exists till the last relay! You and me. ๐ค
