I’m gonna be on stage at the conference sort of representing nostr users.

I have my own thoughts, but as an average nostr user what’s important to you about nostr?

What do you get out of being here?

What keeps you coming back?

No algo is important to me. I think algos distort reality
Nic · 109w
Not feeling like a closed-source algorithm is attempting to influence my thoughts is definitely nice. I enjoy the ability to transition between clients while maintaining my follow and follower list, regardless of the type of user experience I prefer (e.g., Amethyst). The ability to send real money...

People I follow can't get banned I can't get banned No posts can be censored There is no algorithm that tries to outrage me so I stay longer on the app
it's me, real fake · 109w
permission less digital reach

Feels human vs that satanic ai nuclear testing site
OFFGRID · 109w
Lack of algos, ownership, and a great BTC echo chamber.

Nostr brings out the best in people. I’ve noticed a considerable change in your tone and toxicity. Could be fatherhood, but it’s a trend I’ve noticed with most users here. Anytime I check Reddit or Twitter, I am reminded that doom scrolling is not helpful to society.

You! ❤️

#nostr feels fresh because it’s a baby. How long will it last? I post distilled thoughts that I matured on TwitteX, as if TwitteX was the database and the incubator of my thoughts.
Pleb34 · 109w
No algorithms and censorship free.
Lo · 109w
nostr is the cure for nihilism
carte · 109w
The irreverance
DirectorHodl · 109w
The vibe is just different feels like you can be yourself more. Doesn’t feel like a popularity contest
Rydal · 109w
The near complete lack of algorithm forces you to add and remove people from your social sphere actively. Putting full responsibility of managing the info you consume in your own hands. If I see shit on nostr that I would prefer not to, well that is on me, gotta make better choices of which voices...
John James · 109w
Pure, CHOSEN, Signal… no noise, no ads… just genuine interest and connections
₿ruce Høpper · 109w
Any live broadcasting?
WILLPOWER · 109w
zaps, freedom,npubs cross platform, chronological, no data theft, no ownership of other's content by proprietary terms, open source, decentralized, fun, no better solution...

If Hodl is gonna be representing nostr we're fucked
Btcfeen · 109w
I like that I can say whatever I want and I can’t get booted. Btc is “fuck you money” nostr is “fuck you vommunication”. Not for the snowflakes tho. Also it’s nice you have your own key and can’t get hacked easily
₿itcoin ₿ombadil · 109w
Contingency and redundancy of a % of my online Bitcoin connections if/when they tighten the vise-grip on Twitter and other social media sites… The knowledge/hive mind network of Bitcoin users online is a huge positive for the Bitcoin network… I want to stay tapped into and engaged with that

Being able to say NIGGER

transferable identity; can log in and read only view for any npub, so you can view their "algorithm". no banning, no blocking.

I like being able to talk about our Zionist Occupied Government without worrying about being killed and censored by Jews.
Force2B · 109w
It’s hard to explain how happy I am on this app compared to any other social media or classic media consumption.
ndeet · 109w
Content not tied to a domain/service and uncensorable. Being unruggable, like with bitcoin in cold storage.
Moss · 109w
Bitcoin lets you to own your wealth, Nostr lets you to own your mind. Bitcoin+ Nostr =freedom
Rotisserie Bastard · 109w
No ads (cannot be overstated), censorship resistant, FOSS, unstoppable protocols and the awesome developers

Having the freedom to call nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m a nigger faggot and knowing he’s completely powerless to censor me.
JD · 109w
The community. It's a pandora's box, but if you dig a little, there's so much open and welcoming plebs all helping each other. The tech. It's the first of its kind in this age. Permisionless, uncensorable social media. Zaps. Cmon, how cool is that.
Ivan · 109w
I enjoy the users. Nostr reminds me of the early days of Bitcoin. People building freedom things without permission. Also I got very tired of other social medias and covid censorship/election censorship was the final straw. Remaining addiction is twitter and I hope Nostr is a healthier version of t...

Bitcoin Wizard 🧙🏻‍♂️ · 109w
the reason I'm coming back is because I know I can never be banned and because I want to see this ecosystem grow
HTMLHODL · 109w
I like zapping and getting zapped and #Apple should let Damus turn it back on again! Now using a workaround of zapplepay.com No censorship Memes & Signal
Deus · 109w
I'm only here for the Zaps and the ownership of your identity - no email, no password. That's pretty much it. Nothing groundbreaking when it comes to Privacy with Nostr, really. I mean, still gotta use Tor or some VPN. Similar to 'mega instances' in the Fediverse, 3-4 Mega Relays control the netwo...
Bitcoin Bandit · 109w
whenever someone complains about Twitter on Twitter I come here, "waah they removed the Bitcoin hashtag, waah"
