Introduction Post:

My name is Mason Berube. I'm from Minnesota. I love working in harmony alongside Nature each and every day. I've lived the last 4 years with a flip phone, I haven't largely been off of social media during that time. When I look back on those years I can honestly say I didn't miss a thing. I'm so happy that Primal is a thing and that people are working to create a better way of interacting in the digital sphere. I still think the best way of course is in the real world, but I'm learning to live between two worlds (tech and nature). So, I love experimenting and learning about new ways of doing so.

I started learning how to use instagram as a backbone for an online mentorship business a few months ago. I did it all (posting everyday, using hooks to catch peoples attention, outreach, etc...) - what I found is that is that the very system and foundation that IG is built upon essentially just creates clones of people. It's not for me, to say the least. I think it is for some people, but it's no longer for me.

Primal is a return to the early days of the internet, I am so happy for this because it is shaking things up in a good way. Not only is it a return to a good social media experience, but it is also a step forward towards a more humane transactional system with BTC. I love this aspect of the platform.

I currently use a Macbook Air - I'm stoked to maybe have a @daylightco computer one day. Everything we can do to create a more biological friendly tech experience is a win in my eyes.

Apart from all of that, my day-to-day work is on the land. I've been involved in local food systems for the last 4-5 years now. Primarily working in small-scale farming and vegetable production. I've become best friends with the chickens and cows, I love seeing the magic of a seed transforming to fruit and the community of people in the agriculture and farming sphere are truly beautiful people in so many ways.

This is a huge part of my work: connecting to the land, stewarding the land and networking among folks who are interested in learning more about this way of life.

I don't yet know how I will utilize this platform. I don't yet know the true purpose of social media in general. However, as I stated earlier, I'm willing to experiment and see what works and what doesn't.

Shout out to @paul keating for taking my questions and thoughts about Primal and Bitcoin.

I'm currently living near Dominical in Costa Rica. I'll be here until the end of April, if you're in the area and looking to connect, I would love to! I'm staying at a beautiful place called Sacred Space Center (website: sacredspace.center).

My instagram username is @offlinewithmason - I will be deleting the account by the end of the month and switching completely to Primal.

Cheers ~

You’re switching to Nostr from instagram… Primal is not Nostr… it’s just one of several clients used to access nostr… Have a wonderful time!

Welcome! I too dream of a nostr:nprofile1qqswhhhf99z77pfg80s2c00z27rusxn2tzss7450n34krkwa2yadhtgpzemhxue69uhkzafwwfjkcctev93xcefwdaexwqg5waehxw309ahx7um5wghxganywshxgetkq9r69k . Until then I wear Ra Optics when I can. Nostr hits different. Lots of value for value out there too in the podcast verse. ...
