Hi. I'm new to nostr. I dont really like bitcoin, or encryption or whatever, but I got mad at BlueSky for political reasons and I'm looking for a new home. P.s ... All I see are bitcoin posts, surfers and a few pics of naked dudes with their butts in the air on sunny days. Is that normal here? #asknostr

Welcome! There is a lot of bitcoin on Nostr but there’s also some other really cool stuff like pottery, leather works, cooking, food products, rug makers, artists, homesteaders, permaculture, and much much more. Just May take some time to find and follow people that share your interests and passions. It’s worth the effort especially if you are more draw to the simple yet important things in life and especially authenticity.
Welcome, new 7 month old account! Hope you have a good time, and have fun staying poor.
No protection for anything. You can post anything. Individuals may block you if they don't like what you say. There's no central servers or admins that can block, ban or censor you. There are groups you can join. If you're interested in movies, Ford V8 engines or land rights for gay whales, you'll find like minded people. One problem, or benefit, depending on your view, is there's no algorithm to push things to you. You have to explore and discover shit for yourself. Nostr requires more effort by you to find shit you're interested in than other social media. But, it's worth the effort.
Like xrp except it's Bitcoin using a 2nd layer network to transfer money, which xrp can't do because it's nothing more than a MySQL database run by a scammer.
Yes its a very bitcoin centric platform which initially put me off to. Make sure your on relays like mostr.pub to also bridge in non nostr content. That helps a lot when you then search for content you like. I don't know what app you picked but global timelines always suck on any app. Use aggregation feeds and search instead. Follow people who arent coiners and then you can enjoy it more.
The trending feed on primal is just hodl and corndalorian trying to zap farm. It's a shame that primal hides content from other clients. Because it makes I feel like nostr is empty
“P.s ... All I see are bitcoin posts, surfers and a few pics of naked dudes with their butts in the air on sunny days. Is that normal here” So wait… it’s not like this over in Bluesky? What do they even talk about? 🤔

Like anything that interests you. From philosophy to architecture
You’re going to be Orange pilled here. I caution you that the Bitcoin rabbit hole is endless and rewarding. Welcome.

I dunno. Its all decentralized and stuff. Perfect money seems like it will cause problems for the systems I've grown to depend on. Encryption is for drug dealers. Its just like beanie babies. Quantum will Crack it. BTC is just digital tulips. Is it even legal?
