Discovered Nostr two years ago, stayed briefly for Friday Zapathons, but the timeline felt empty and quiet. Went back to Bitcoin Twitter to watch clown world. This year, returned with Primal for the Nostr experience—now saying GM sometimes and following the Bitcoin feed.

I came for soap. I stayed for the giveaway. Did I win?!?!?

Came because Elon said he was gonna buy Twitter.

Stayed because of the freedom, the signal and the awesome people 💜

Came here to see what it was about after hearing nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgeyqy52 talk about it- have been pleased, never looked back. This is what I want social media to be for my children so I support it

Best soaps 🧼 around ! 💯📠

👀

Twitter became a sad place to hang out so decided to give Nostr a chance. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgeyqy52 or nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgstw3r3l pointed me in this direction. Better ecosystem all around without the censorship 🫡

Came because nostr:nprofile1qqsx8zd7vjg70d5na8ek3m8g3lx3ghc8cp5d9sdm4epy0wd4aape6vspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsq32amnwvaz7tmhda6zumn0wd68ytnsv9e8g7g9pux3g and nostr:nprofile1qqs2rlzal4lleatrezg4tdrxw5d4srg3tcfkutuvjr5fzvu9h0kmrncpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6qgdwaehxw309aukzcn49ekk2qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8x6tpd4ehgu3wvdhk68uj6gq kept talking about and FB and the dead bird sucked. Stayed because I've learned a lot and 98% of the npubs I've interacted with have been great

I honestly don't remember what brought me to Nostr. It was probably a podcast, but I couldn't tell you which one. I came in with no real appreciation for what this meant, but I enjoy tinkering with stuff, so learning kept me around to focus on something other than my undergrad. I stay because I learn something new about sovereignty, tech, Bitcoin, food, and many other topics constantly.

If a few of years ago someone would have told me I'd end up being a Bitcoin node and nostr relay running, home mining maxi who bathes using beef tallow as soap and lotion purchased with bitcoin over lightning, and eats multiple locally raised, grassfed steaks a day, I wouldn't have believed you. This community changed me.

Hey, Anon. What's your story?

I first found about the nostr when David Bennet was on The Survival Podcast. After the Float debacle and really didn’t want to give meta more of my sovereignty after they banned me in the conservative purge of 2020, I was looking for a new digital home. The atmosphere and the nostriches made me stay, I love all you… you all my kind of weirdos. 💜🫂🤙⚡️

I heard about it on nostr:nprofile1qqsgt0d4sa0pz0wvn9yck36xxezf3qhwzksu0q254vruqed5wvuavusyfdmyk podcast repeatedly and knew I needed to get on here

I heard about it from nostr:nprofile1qqsxu35yyt0mwjjh8pcz4zprhxegz69t4wr9t74vk6zne58wzh0waycs558km back when nothing really worked and I logged into a web client and it was just a big chaotic mess of a global feed with no usernames or profile pictures. Things randomly loading and popping into view, basicallly schizo twitter. My first note was “penis”. I lost that nsec unfortunately and tuned back in when jack tweeted about it. Lost that nsec then came back about a year ago because nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgeyqy52 wore me down always yapping about it on nostr:nprofile1qqs879mhq6kkuzh2wk57xdzanl76uem8d7hlyjd7v4a4jcm4u88d8yg2zkr2f.

Yall got liquid soap? All natural?

I found my way to nostr pretty much by accident. I can’t remember where I heard about it maybe on the Simply Bitcoin podcast. I was fascinated by its decentralized protocol. I’ve made accounts, deleted accounts and remade accounts and deleted those. Kind of crazy. It’s just that I can’t trust myself on social media but I also can’t stay away. I like nostr because it’s so chill. I also learn a lot from the people who are on here. An example is the cashu protocol. I would have never learned about that if it weren’t for nostr.

Heard about it on nostr:npub10atn74wcwh8gahzj3m0cy22fl54tn7wxtkg55spz2e3mpf5hhcrs4602w3 like 2+ years ago and been here ever since!

Found NOSTR with the release of Damus on iOS. Went through the period where apple tried to block it because it transmitted payments but wasn't getting a cut.

Was just ok back then. Not much really going on in the timeline, and people were still trying to be Bitcoin X.

Went back to X until primal. Started not really liking how even some of the best bitcoiners were trying to sell influence on X. Just seemed too gimmicky. Now I just keep X to notify me when ocean finds a block. I can scroll here, see what everyone is doing and just live life.

Nostr has been such an interesting and great experience for me so far. There’s a lot to learn still and I feel like that’ll be just a perpetual thing that I’ll have to be doing, but I really enjoy the camaraderie that I feel amongst all of us here.

Early to the internet, early to irc, early to group chats. This is hive mind. This is collective consciousness.

Early to twitter. The joy of mobile hive nodes sharing and the awakening.

Twitter gave us speech and reach and freedom of will over love or love over will to organize and follow those to brought us joy (or anger).

On twitter during the trucker protest, I would see "1492 new posts" about the trucker protest in the search bar, but when I clicked it.

3

Three Posts. The same three posts. PTR PTR PTR. I knows there's more, it's RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME! 1823 NEW POSTS "trucker protest"

Why can't I see why my fellow global internet twitter users are saying?

That loss....of connection....suddenly 1000's of voices going silent....

Jan6. Trump de-platformed. Trucker protest.....

Freedom of reach....dead. Someone is stopping the flow of information.

Enter nostr.

Podcasters talked about Nostr. After not finding Nostr I came across Primal app and learned Primal is a Nostr client. The integration with zaps and the decentralized aspect will prove out over time.

IDK, maybe from nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m tweet

First Note: How coin you have?

A protocol by and for freedom lovers. How could I not be here 💜🧡

My nostr journey started because I was curious and before I knew it I was noting lightning invoices and zapping 1M sat footballs back and forth with nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs in a trust exercise 🏈

nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgeyqy52 nuked his Twitter account so I did too

Small Giveaways on #nostr are going to make nostr win. People will flock and they love free things

I was looking for deez nuts and I ended up here…. Life have misterious ways!

I consider myself lucky to have found Nostr because of my curious obsession with all things Bitcoin. I’m an ironworker turned entrepreneur, and Nostr is going to be pivotal in my growth to help people and end homelessness.

I found Nostr accidentally, just normal surfing the web... I tried it and ran away, paid no mind to my keys as I don't do social media and was just checking it out. Fast forward to today having multiple keys, I stay because I like the protocol. It is or can be whatever you want it to be however it is not yet ready for the normies. But that's a convo for another day...

JUST A REMINDER NOSTR. GIVEAWAY IS STILL GOING ON IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE. AND GOOD LUCK!!

I'm a great fan of Jack. So I would say he's the reason I'm here. nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m

I deleted all my "mainstream" socials in the name of privacy and then searched for more private alternatives. This was my favorite option. Its also my only social still, 15 months later.

This soap is 👌

I found my way to #Nostr by reading about it and hearing about it at #Bitcoin events and jumped in and haven't looked back since!

My story is boring AF. Just got lucky stumbling on #nostr while looking for Reddit alts 🤷‍♂️

Less than 2hrs left of you want a chance at winning. LFG NOSTR! 💜

I was curious. I've been going to dark webs,then I found a story about nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m. That's how I found this.

I got here through nostr:nprofile1qqsrpl96thl42ve0gsah63ypz75uunzpgfrd0g2x8nry4ggtef6crdgxzwmjm posting on x. I stayed because conceptually love no ad decentralized model. Also stayed because it’s smaller and real people respond. Don’t want an app getting between me and others with similar interests. Also, learning a ton about bitcoin and nostr generally. For an info geek like me it can be addictive tho!

🎉☕🫂

I’ve posted before on how I found my way here (see quoted note). I’m glad to say that I’m still here and building because, if it’s not #Bitcoin or #Nostr, it’s not worth my time. 💪

ATTENTION PLEASE 🗯️

VERY NICE GIVEAWAY 🎉💜

Initially part of the “Jackening” in Dec ‘22, then found my crew running the nostr:nprofile1qqszak7w562dzerznp222fvrgk8adkt9k9s783yt2lf6luqegp2c3pqnj5rr9 and never left. Love the people, love seeing new use cases for the protocol, new businesses experimenting here, etc. Also, my skin has been dry AF this winter so I figured I’d try some of your stuff when nostr:nprofile1qqs9kqvr4dkruv3t7n2pc6e6a7v9v2s5fprmwjv4gde8c4fe5y29v0sd595dt tagged you this morning. Welcome 🤙

I listened to a lot of Jeff Booth interviews and he kept mentioning this nostr thing…. so I checked it out and absolutely love it!

I refused to have a social media all my life, but nostr is completely different ♥️

Ps: dude I’ll get your soaps but a shipping to Europe would cost me more than the soaps 😂

Hurry up to 🔥🎉

LFG 🫡

Let me preface this remarkable tale by confessing that I’m old and technically retarded … I take no offense at this assessment of my self cuz I’ve been called way worse by way better🤔😳

Any way as fortune would have it on a day like any other day I was applying for my Medicare benefits online and next thing I knew I was being verbally assaulted by some retarded hockey dude ( nostr:nprofile1qqsf5r3qgwh65pt2z2uthem6cnp3shqw90zxky42c9vx3y2yxg7qu0qz5hc75 ) and called a racist by a LeBron maxi exotic ( @mahdood …he claims to be a peepl of color but I have my doubts🤔😳 ), renamed @stacey by pickleball princess ( nostr:nprofile1qqs0fkyh0y2genfytjx4py229p8avtvhev8mdzme0fc0yjsh9dfzmwg2nsndc ….I don’t think he belongs in the ladies league but who am I to say🤔🤭), and having my entire digital milieu compromised by a kindhearted but somewhat deranged 🌈 frog quant ( nostr:nprofile1qqsp3yzapfwkyw4cr2vt4xx9s27474lj2pkxhqyfqh79n826pv3fkzqjntscy ).

Sometimes u just know when uv found ur digital peepl 😳🤷🏽‍♂️🤭⭕️

Ps

But more importantly im outta soap…and my *ss itches😳😂😂😂⭕️
