Hey Penn Staters!

If you’ve been hearing about Nostr, the decentralized social future, and wondering what all the buzz is about, now’s your chance to find out! We’re hosting a live event where you can dive into the world of decentralized social media and learn how to take control of your online presence and your attention.

👉 What’s Nostr?
Imagine a world where you own your data, and no one can cancel or censor you. Nostr is all about freedom, privacy, and connecting with a global community—WITHOUT the gatekeepers of traditional platforms.

Here’s why YOU should be there:

🛡️ Privacy-first: No need to hand over personal info.

🔥 Decentralized: No one controls it, so the power stays with YOU.

🌐 Global network: Connect with students and like-minded people from around the world.

💡 Open-source tech: Whether you're a coding wizard or just curious, you’ll get to explore how it all works!

Event Details: 📅 When: Saturday, October 12, 2024, 12pm - 4pm
🌐 Where: Happy Valley Brewing Company
💻 Who’s invited? EVERYONE! But especially YOU, Redditors and Penn Staters who love discovering cool new tech!

🔗 RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nostr-valley-tickets-972202372467

Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe even your friends. It's time to get ahead of the curve with a social media protocol that's actually for the people.

Let’s grow the future of social together. See you there! 🚀

Not to sound critical but it sort of does read as a spam-ish post. It may have worked better as a more normal post and less of an advert. Like 'hello we are organising a (free?) talk about decentralised social media protocols at penn state...blah blah'. A more conversational post or something. Who...

I wonder why. (It’s afraid.)

You forgot inclusive language. You need more subservience to state approved messaging. It just, how do I put it, too much freedom... I mean. What are trying to foment? 😉

Let's not give the students stupid ideas. Like, their privacy matters, their right to speech etc etc. It's better this way. They're teaching worker bees not revolutionaries. One might think...

I can count on one hand the number of times I have made a reddit post and NOT had the mods take it down
