The zaps were cool but I really didn’t care about that when I arrived. The zaps eventually became fun after I understood what was happening.

I came to nostr for freedom and a censorship resistant place to speak. Over the course of watching corporate tech platforms for a few years it became clear to me that I’d never be truly free there. I’ve never had anything crazy that I wanted to say but if I needed to call out government malfeasance, I wanted to have the ability to do that without worrying about getting banned.

Just about every single problem that I saw with meta, TikTok, twitter etc isn’t a problem at all on nostr. It can’t even have those problems. It will have it’s own problems but at least everyone can speak freely and come up with solutions to the problems together. 💜
