if you don't mind me asking, what prompted you to visit us here?

always nice to see new faces

nostr is small and tight, most people you will encounter are #nostronly maxis and a lot of bitcoiners, and then a little contingent of people who like to whine about how we talk a lot about bitcoin, but actually that's just primal, so beware primal's trending feed, better to find some good writers like @Lyn Alden and check out who and what engages, she often posts a lot about her life story and her current place in Cairo

myself, i'm australian, living in #madeira in the atlantic, #golang programmer and trying to build a nostr relay called #realy https://realy.lol and finally solve the problem of chat on nostr, which is unfortunately quite muddled due to some funny attitudes about privacy and the non-negotiable relay architecture of nostr

the main thing you need to understand about #nostr is that a lot of us are programmers building stuff for nostr, and the actual primary topic of discussion that gets the most volume here is nostr itself, and discussions around apps and proposals for protocol extensions
