THIS IS THE WAY

What are those things, you mention. Its like a distant memory. I haven't had a SM account for over 3 years until Nostr.

I still use FB for the strong marketplace, maybe I should try a few sales on Nostr 🤔 Unfortunately I don't think there will be many takers for precious metals amongst bitcoiners 🙏🫡

UK equivalent 🤣

Are you on Fountain or Wavlake

I think at this point one reason I haven't deleted my fb account is because I have a decent network that I hope to successfully pursuade to join me here overtime and because I have lots of family and irl contacts there that allows me to stay connected to and in the know of what's happening in their lives. Also, my business page was hacked a few months ago and taken over. Eventually access was revoked from hackers but not returned to me. So I am just gathering emotional strength and focus to start a small claims court and sue meta. As I don't really want my page of 16+ years sitting there on the internet with several months of explicit vulgar daily content under my name representing me for the unforeseeable future. As far as X. I've turned off notifications. But I have linked it to nos.social so anything going up there comes from my Nostr account. Other than that I don't have energy to spend time there. I built my audience there over 16 years ago and majority of those contacts back then moved onto other platforms as I did a while back too (so my following count has become obsolete). So I don't have much exposure there but even a little is still something... In directing people over to Nostr. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I used to teach and have online training products for entrepreneurs and marketers for all the social media platforms and how to effectively use for online entrepreneurs including Twitter, fb, IG. But at some point I got super burned out and super turned off by it all... And soon the universe just hit a giant reset button by burning all those assets I'd built, which I took as a sign it's time for a new chapter or more so book. And the opportunities which I may have had and held there slowly faded away... I tried to keep some kind of engagement as I was going through a massive internal rearrangement and life shifts of value systems and paths... But ultimately unless you are diligently slave laboring for the algorithm Gods and selling your soul eventually any momentum I might have had ultimately died. Which is why I am hungry and yet excited and committed in investing my life force energy and full devotion to supporting the stability and growth of a protocol that aligns with my highest core values of freedom on every level. There is seriously not a bone or a tissue in my body that does not say "Noooooooo"to that old outdated paradigm and world. The opportunities that might have been there for me are non existent as the dissonance to it in my being is too loud. In reality I left those places long before I found Nostr. 🤷🏻‍♀️🌹🕊️🫂🤍🧿

Came here to say this

Nice I always wanted to know the process of making soap.

So when are you gonna start paying all the big influencers on the dominant platforms to move to nostr because that’s all the normies care about and that’s the standard…

Keep on doing the good work you do sir.

My point is that nostr itself isn’t going to bring them here as nostr isn’t going to pay their bills like every other platform which imho mean the majority of normies won’t use nostr as they mostly want to watch the influencers

You think staying on Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, or X is the key to opportunity? That's the illusion these centralized platforms want you to believe. They're not just controlling your opportunities; they're controlling you. Surveillance, censorship, manipulation—these platforms are the backbone of a modern social credit system, where your value is dictated by a handful of corporations. Bitcoin fixes this by decentralizing money. Nostr fixes this by decentralizing communication. Both free you from control by centralized entities. When you embrace Nostr, you're taking control of your digital identity, your data, and your future. Live on your terms, not theirs.

Is there an easy way to import someone else’s follow list? I feel like it’s harder to discover new people on here.

I'd say, use those accounts or platforms to drive traffic here. Let me explain. You open a store but no one knows about it other than the people within the neighbourhood. If you want to reach out beyond your town and neighbourhood, you need to have online exposure. You need somehow to use your existing accounts(tikrok, x, fb, etc) to focus about #nostr and drive them to come here. Yes, #nostr has a lot of opportunities. However, all is good for the early adopters . But for non-tech savvy, non-bitcoiners and slave to the centralised social media, it would not mean anything to them unless it affects their livelihood or affects the stuff that they truly cares — access to those platforms, family and income. So how do we invite them? Use the same platforms to raise awareness. Btw, this strategy was used by Tiktok that made Tiktok the way it is now (one of). People love incentives, other than censorship-resistant, what else can we offer? How do we convince people with over decades of work built on those social platform to move here? This is worth a ponder that our community must take seriously if we want to expand. Lastly, let's not forget to focus on the fundamental non-functional requirements for #nostr — relays' security (not long ago we were bombarded by spams and from a decent source, we have not had pentesting done for nostr). Food for thought. 🫂❤️

inefficient

Makes sense

WE'RE #NOSTRONLY 🫂🫡💜

ALFRAUD*

🙏🫂

I’m a full time dad and husband and member of my local community. The spare time I have to be social online is now spent on Nostr because it’s the type of online future I want for myself and my kids. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t even have time to waste trying to run accounts on other platforms. Life is too precious. It would be time wasted.

I quit Facebook and instagram 5 years ago and I am not missing anything! But LinkedIn is harder to quit. As much as it’s terrible, full of spam, etc, it’s a great place to reach out to former workplace proximity acquaintances. Is there a Nostr LinkedIn? Asking for a friend.

All caps sucks to read and makes you look childish... just sayin.

Hey man very well Said... myself married and father of 3, homeschooling and running my own business (only working 4 days a WK) start work at 7am and home by 2 ... I agree with Nostr and comend you my friend 😌

Feel similar.

Ive found my people.

🫂🤙

🫂🤙

🫂🙌

I would like to see a platform like this, build on Nostr. Can anyone do this; Create #jobstr !!!!!

Never had one in the first place

Just Leave

Are those sites still a thing?

Such a dorky space. At least on Instagram, people are pretending to be beautiful whores. Linkdn you pretend to be a certified safety professional

I'm thinking that Nostr and Sats will transform the supply chain. Seems like ppl are making it simpler to transact. I'm talking about the devs. They're fucking awesome 👍😎 Y'all keep making the tech, and I'll make the product.🥳🫂

In case I need a job one day. I found my last job through a connection I used to work with 11 years prior! But that’s a bad example because I didn’t reach out to her on LinkedIn because I had her contact info.

No, you’re totally right! I should stop using it! LinkedIn is terrible in many ways. Thanks for the insight!!

That’d be great! Nostr should replace all Microsoft services!
