Nostr is elegant in its simplicity. It lacks many anti-features, such as:

* Paid advertisements that fill your feed with noise.

* The Algorithm, which distorts the reach of accounts and messes with your curation in unknown ways.

* Arbitrary limits on the length and type of content you post.

* Unpredictable rules around how embedded media gets rendered.

* Nanny warnings about posting negative language.

* Unencrypted DMs that can be read by admins.

* An ever-looming axe over your head that if you violate the increasingly complex and ever-changing terms of service, your account will be censored.

Nostr is freedom.
