You gotta be a person who likes to learn new things. Who enjoys exploring new stuff. Those who don't have that, they won't stay on nostr for long. I think that's the make it or breake it point.

The feeling one cannot get his account rugpulled

The community seems quite strong

Freedom, Fulfillment, Release and Appreciation of using Bitcoin as real money to pass on value to value.

Positivity of the people here. No one is here because of some network effect I guess... Everyone wants to be here for certain reasons and it is a great community. Takes some time build it up, but I don't want to go back anymore. There was so much attention seeking, violence and negative news scrol...

Have nothing to lose.

Everything everyone else has said + titties.

A good amount of the content I'm looking for is accessible here now and I see the potential bright future of the protocol and want to be here to help see it grow.

Freedom, building and much better engagement here with real people than any other place by far.

freedom, friendship, forming the future ✌

Receiving their first zap Having interaction with different people Shitposting

I’ve been a bitcoiner for a while, and used it as the most incredible store of value ever created. But Nostr showed me that Bitcoin is also an incredible medium of exchange, which I knew, but never experienced before. Also, Nostr gives me me open access to whatever the incredible devs building h...

Trying to disrupt the centralization honey !!! I don’t even use zaps ⚡️ 😂

It’s hard to put into words but I feel like I’m being myself here rather than ‘an account’ elsewhere

Bc fuck big techs and their walled gardens, the tech and concept is good and has a lot of potential, also bc there is no algo ppl are more genuine.

nostalgia of the 90s message boards

For me, it helps that I've been banned for life from TwitterX. People should try that.

your notes 🙈

1. interactions (no matter what) 2. finding interesting content 3. getting zapped

community

True people and pura vida.

You 🫂

if you want an outsider to join you where you at, then they can join very easily. I joined here in minutes, shocked how easy it was. no email and phone required. Your outside readers will find you accessible. The world will see you. my email/phone is too centralized with social medias will keep goi...

I like innovating decentralized freedom technology and the community.

the vibe the people the lack of toxicity the quality of the content ... and foodstr

Did you whitness the Beard/Bread situation last night? This. And, exactly this. Nostr is fun, entertaining. You can do what you want - mute the bots, like and repost as much as you wish without any limits or restrictions (aside from connection limits by relays, which is understandable). The interac...

the good vibes

Everywhere else is awful.

for me it's being close to people moving forward this technology. This is what should have been to live in the early days of the internet. A lot of different initiatives trying to shape the future!

There are two aspects for me. The first is it is free speech technology that has traction, and the second is the people I'm connecting with. I still use Facebook occasionally because there I'm connected to people I know in real life. I have not met any of my Nostr contacts yet, so in that way, I'm u...

When you realize what FB/X/IG is doing to your mind. It's like when you realize that refined sugar can destroy your body, you don't go back.

it's amazing! make sure to try primal.net

Users from different backgrounds who all think that centralized power = bad for both the financial systems as well as social media. Those users prefer to use dialogue instead of debate here. It's way less toxic and thus emotionally draining than f.e. twitter/X

Free speech and not being a mental and emotional slave to algorithms

Not the main reason, but not having ads is nice.

I work on decentralised social networks, and this one is interesting, even if it seems a bit early days. #Mastodon has problems and Twitter though much better than before still throttles posts and could easily change completely. nostr:nevent1qqsxkvlfrxa3m2fgu7880qhlv3ujew0drj8ftgxsq4sempl3ut797zcpp...
