Only it's not. Nostr is full of liars and scammers. Even more than other social networks, because of #bitcoin. Do not trust anyone.

No, this isn’t true bro

Your experiment with coffee only confirmed that this is true. Most said that their coffee costs 10,000 sats, but the average price for a cup of coffee is 20,000 sats. They don't drink coffee, they drink milk drinks or hot chocolate.

Not to the people who I paid for mostly, most lived in cheaper countries

The scammers and grifters have come and gone. Udi vanished a month ago.

What about whores? These attractive ladies who are ready to show anything for a few sats. How would you explain #weedstr? This is just the first step towards #cocainstr

No, this city is dangerous. Its streets are full of scum and you can never be sure that you are facing a person and not ChatGPT.

Ah yes…the gateway drug theory. Cool your jets, Tipper Gore.

Drugs are just the tip of the iceberg. What is nostr:npub1f9kn3a5cv4fsq2x86gfrznfuumtqtu6j3fkyqg9qvlymt0zflvfsn3v9fa ?!

The ocean which the iceberg sinks titanic in.

I muted that thing ages ago. Why mention it here?

This thing can be dangerous. Usually it uploads images to nostr.build but there is no guarantee that it will always be like that. Not all clients implement image proxy.

Besides, sometimes it behaves strangely.

Sometimes it has to.

If your argument that nostr is a wretched hive of scum and villainy because of a few dumb bots and some shitcoin airdrop spammers have I got an app for you…

No, not because of them. Although they're certainly not as safe as they look either. Nostr focuses too much on bitcoins, and when it comes to money it's a mistake to think that everyone is your friend, unless you're trying to gain trust and sell something. Like streams, or a podcast.

Nostr is also vulnerable to government propaganda groups. This can literally be either a network of AI accounts or real people with an audience they gather by handing out sats.

Are we ready for Boston to dynamo, John?

Those typos are not a bug but a feature.

Everyone should use a proper bullshit detector. But many of us have made friends here and it doesn’t take long to figure out who’s being real or not.

That's true everywhere. But because of its openness, it is Nostr that is vulnerable to, shall we say, bad people. Moreover, there is no one to stop them here.

There’s no one to stop anyone and there are more of us then there are of them.

Ahhhh..,who I can trust? Even my body sometimes is liar to me about energy 😅😅😅

#nostr is the way

Hello friend

That's coz we are

Yes ... I am ur fren 🫂

Not everybody, friendship must be earned

new friends learn to play

🫂🎯

Welcome! Indeed more fun. Enjoy!

🫂

Those are the early adopters - with a similar world view and shared interests. When that ends, and it gathers much more users, it will go back to miserable drive by replies from angry strangers and dogpilings.

Don't threaten me with a good time

Bleh.

True

Hola 👋🐱

Yes. Purple paradise

Bitcoin community is toxic af… people don’t want to hear about #bitcoin because of that. So people will not adopt #nostr based on this.

Bitcoin is a tool. It has a useful impact on the community specifically within Nostr.

people accept toxicity when it is about money. Most just don’t know any bitcoiner.

Toxicity is good for you, like cod liver oil.

The perceived toxicity generally ends up in « I told you so ».

You are free to chase algos or slave melting fiat, and then cry harder 🥹

My friends pay me to be their friend

Welcome to Nostr Mary

It’s because we’re all really friends 🫂

I don’t see why anybody would not be. Except those crypto spam bots Of course those are my sworn enemies. 😂

Damn I feel like nostr is such a lonely place, wish I had 1 friend 🙌

Bsky kinda feels that way as well, highschoolish friends, but still kinda friendly.
