I thank God for Nostr. Seriously.

To see the world through the manipulated lens of IG, X, or some other exploitative medium, it becomes impossible to see what the real nature of the world is, and it affects one deeply. The horrific darkness that is pushed on to people through these ‘walled gardens’ which are really digital concentration camps is terrifying. From seeing the world through these controlled methods, you would think that everyone is out to get you, they want to harm you, and that you have to battle against the world.

Then you open nostr and escape this walled garden, and you realize you are no longer in these concentration camps where you are subjugated to these horrors and exploitation. You see how manipulated you are, how much evil, violent, and sexualize content is boosted specifically to manipulate you. Outside of their walls, their digital barbed wire fences, you can see the free world is different. That most people are good, want to connect, and share in a meaningful way. It helps unveil the nature of the war of control that is going on for the web itself, and gives one a glimpse of the very real good that is possible from liberating ourselves from the digital concentration camps, and what it means to be free to control our algorithms and who and how we connect.

💯 We are winning. It's also important to live in reality. There is evil afoot and silence and apathy allows it to grow. We are all doing the best we can. Balance is important.

The pursuit of truth has taken many forms over the years. I'm very grateful for those who continue to build to this end and the tools they create along the way. Onward 🔥

Hopefully they now are starting to see X for what it really is.

Our evolution will consist of looped revolutions, of which Nostr is one. We’re beyond early but we’re spinning at the right place.

It's like unplugging from a distorted/manipulated reality made of FUD, emotainment and cognitive warfare. Plato's cave 2.0

The propaganda doesn't bother me. I'm immune to that. It's the censorship. It's always been the censorship. Having a reasonably reliable, reasonably censor resistant place to call home is crucial in times like these. We need to make Nostr censor resistance even more robust.

I keep getting the sense you were all born in a prison. I've never had ANYTHING (except for IRC and ICQ in the 90s and later youtube) before nostr. I only adopted it because people kept telling me it's the comms platform for bitcoin 😃

Preach!

Agreed. I only joined recently, but it’s a much more wholesome place so far.
Freedom Farang · 61w
I’m afraid it’s as much about the amazing self-selecting people on nostr as it is about escaping the model of a walled garden. Like you, I thank God for that. Right or wrong, I still have no real hope in humanity as a collective though. Humans on the margin - that’s where my people are.
Enronpaul · 61w
I’m thankful for you man. Without ever meeting you, I’ve watched your content and always get amped to hear someone speak truth so clearly and with such power.
Chris Alaimo · 61w
I really appreciate you man and I feel the same way. That’s why for the new year I deleted Twitter off my phone and trying to only use Nostr going forward. Breaking the chains of manipulation, censorship, and coercion. 🫂
Syd · 61w
This is a lens too Everyone here self selected to be here It provides a very narrow segment of actual reality Even if I were to acknowledge you’re ideological objections to X, I’d argue it still provides a more representative picture of what people in the world think

“digital concentration camps” would trigger the shit out of a lot of people Great concept though, and one all the more fascinating in that IG and X users “choose” to spend time there How can it be that out of free will you spend time being harmed…? Nostr is a breath of fresh air As...
forwardsteps 🧡 · 61w
Yes, although if we all walk away from those platforms and into our little walled garden at Nostr then how do we keep spreading our positive messages to the many who are not yet awake/aware? It reminds me of aged care and retirement villages which are removing the wisdom of the elderly from society....

I’m trying my best to promote this app with the little reach I have on X. I agree. Still trying to figure this place out a bit but, it is refreshing though.

So, back in the day, we had #SilkRoad and #8chan, where things got so wild it was like watching a circus where the clowns were actually anarchists. You'd turn on the news, and they'd say, "Oh, the government's playing whack-a-mole with these sites!" Boom, they're gone. Now, enter Nostr, the new kid ...

Thank you Erik! I just joined Nostr and feeling the same way. Greatly appreciate the work and the community being built here.
