An honest social media experience with no manipulation, no censorship, no secret algo is extremely refreshing.
Like breathing fresh forest air after years down in a coal mine.

Yes, it's similar to the feeling I got when I started to grasp bitcoin.
True, but in my case it is pretty laggy 🫤 (using Amethyst)
Which version are you using?
0.14.3
Could it be that this depends on relays? Changed some and no lags rn
Try updating, the newest version so far is 0.16.0
It's way better now, thanks! Zapped 🙂
Would zap more but dont have more on LN Wallet
I haven’t got any set up, working version on Nostr yet. On kind person is offering to help me set up Nostr on my Mac…
I need a ‘helping hand’ and a roadmap on “how to”
Just today saw a link on this from Jack! This could be a big help for me to Nostr!🙏
I STILL need newbie help on getting going on Nostr.I haven’t read Jack’s “how to” bulletin yet but feel I need a “Nostr for Dummies” version to start with. I have iOS/Mac devices. Pls help if you can! Thanks!
I need relays and a beginning workable set up as illustrated in https://damus.io/
I also need a lightning/bitcoin link for my nostr
thats now. thats why a lot of people are building!
For better Amethyst experience, go into the app settings menu for Amethyst and clear the cache. Vitor said that large avatars of 22mb take up 10% of the apps cache and avatars in general have been a cache-killer.
Going back there is painful

Bitcoinesque vibes.
i never had a twitter account. i think its a very rare position. i dont know why i bring this up.
How did nostr cross your path?
Jack convinced me and now I’m hooked.
Had read about it a couple of times but didn’t join until #[4] ‘s tweet about Damus
I was shamed into it on bitcoin twitter. (my user name slightly backwards now)
i started my first posts (notes) in late december 22. i think it was in bitcoin podcasts all over the place. open protocols are awesome. i knew instantly it is better then all other social media platforms. and the lightning tip/zap aspect keeped me here.
Twitter space, someone was talking about it
Saw #[4] tweet about it, started researching and here I am 🙂
Bitcoin twitter like so many others
I'm glad you did!
Respect 👊
Well put, I get the exact same feeling.
Pure signal and ad free!
As it should've been from the start
Good luck to anyone hoping this train stops. The network effect potential is enormous.
Agreed. It's indeed refreshing.
Aligning yourself with a community of like minded individuals, wherein dissent and critical thought is encouraged. A place where value is transferred through our thoughts and sats. A place where the productive are rewarded, as we all strive towards our individual ideal.

it was getting terrible to be banned from facebook and twitter without knowing why
Really very good
Breathing all that coal mine air seems cancerous.
Missed 2009 Twitter when it was less frenetic and higher signal. Found it with Nostr.
It’s strange how you don’t feel the influence of the intermediary until they’re removed.
Yesterday I uninstall the Twitter app on my phone. Best decision of the week.
I find myself more relax, tweeter feels broken somehow.

And no ads every third post…no ads at all!
Still needs work

Without a secret Algo, how will us plebs know what we want?!
I think there will be censorship in the future of nostr / clients like damus. They will start with the clients (low hanging fruit), then they will attack relays and then the community / power users.
Your message is resonating with a lot of people.

Iris is snappy. Feels like a new car.

Welcome to skinny dipping in #Nostrverse , where everything is free.
welcome to the new free world everyone.
I agree. It would be cool to have opt-in algos though.
💯💜
I agree ☝️

It’ll be cool to see some kind of timeline management in future to accommodate time zones. I.e. so I don’t miss all the good posts that happened while Im sleeping 😴
Yup, going on twitter just feels gross now
