Just published a new blog post in an attempt to describe my "Vision for Nostr". It's a long read, so get some coffee.
Discussion
"Users of Nostr know the feeling of this weight being lifted. Nostr is anything but polished, but that's part of the charm."

That’s the best part!
An interesting read. Thanks!
“Nostr is anything but polished, but that's part of the charm - you know there is no one scanning your content, deciding who sees what and with what "added context". Many users including myself have experienced a 10x or more increase in engagement, despite a much smaller number of people on the platform. This is of course likely due not only to the lack of an algorithm, but also to the lack of celebrities, which tend to absorb attention, leaving little for the rest of us. But for now, Nostr is for the plebs.”
Some interesting observations here

“DRM for our brains” made me chuckle
Nice piece
I liked this!
I was left wanting a bit more, something like some ways we might operationalize your last sentence “make it as easy for the average person to navigate the digital social landscape as they do in real life”
Looking forward to what you write in the future!
I felt the same way, but my time was up for this week. More next time!
"If I had to sum up what the core principle of Nostr is, I would say "individual sovereignty".
Nostr is a social experiment that asks people to take responsibility for what they say (and sell, host, publish, promote)."

Nice piece, the relays brings together the best of social media attributes out there, if used well. Is there a blog tool for ppl to write on or its just to read ?
Very insightful post! Thanks! ♥️
Good read! Chuckled at "English, do you speak it"
