Nostr Web Client

Ok so here’s the deal. I know more folks are on Twitter. I know the network effect is higher (right now) and all the numbers.

But when I get on Nostr I smile, laugh, and generally spend time zapping strangers and thinking people are awesome. I walk away happy.

With Twitter, I see the most horrid shit the in the world, I feel despair because the world is so crazy and awful. I don’t like people and walk away depressed.

That’s the truth, and I’ll take Nostr.

And I’ll keep zapping just about anyone for just about anything!!!

Cheers!!! 🍻

Agreed. People mock 'echo chambers' but someone needs to step up in order to create the future world they'd like to see. This doesn't happen without pioneers willing to venture outside of 'the comfort bubble'.

Yeah man, me too. Did it on a whim and I just feel better about it. Twitter was a bit of a mind virus.

Twitter is to Nostr what cable news is to podcasts. Once you try it you can’t go back.

Isn't strange how engagement devoid of purpose just ends up being extremist as possible? It feels like this space is building towards real utility on top of the pivot humanity desperately needs right now...

This is so true. After going on Twitter, I either feel angry or depressed. On Nostr, I actually feel hopeful about humanity and believe that there’s people out there that genuinely want a better world for everybody.

Mike Hall ⚡️ 2y ago

For sure! I mean, I’m a realist. I completely get the world is still broken, and evil definitely exists. But being aware of the worst society has to offer, from everywhere, all the time thanks to an algorithm designed to maintain your attention (mostly through outrage) so it can show you ads?

Evil exists. It’s out there. But I’m done allowing it an unfettered portal into my thoughts.

And you my new friend, just got zapped! ⚡️⚡️

Qas 2y ago

Thanks man! You’re right, there’s certainly a lot of evil in the world. But it’s so nice to also be aware of all the great work going into decentralised protocols and the community’s work towards a fairer financial system! Fills me with a lot more optimism and hope rather than being fed tweets about the worst in society

This is because you need to make extra effort to be here. And the people which will do it, are the people you want around you. :)

Great point and post. The world isn’t as bad as twitter makes it out to be. This is my first 10 mins on nostr. Will take some getting used to!

Chris 2y ago

Nostr feels like the internet in 1994-95. Just put in the wild.

Mike Hall ⚡️ 2y ago

Totally agree…back during the days of Internet Relay Chat

Chris 2y ago

Exactly - loved IRC channels.

Nostr should adopt

As a Newbie to nostr, I have a stupid question… How much should I be zapping folks? I don’t want to look tight, but also I’m not rich… Help, please? ☺️

Mike Hall ⚡️ 2y ago

That’s all about where you are! 1 Sat = 1 Sat

It’s more about the sentiment. Do whatever feels right, and I promise no one is gonna think “it should have been more”, or even expect it.

That’s the beauty of this community!

kittencaboodle 2y ago

Thanks -I appreciate that. 1 sat = 1 sat 🙌

Luemob 2y ago

its all up to you.

kittencaboodle 2y ago

thanks ☺️ But I would never leave a $.25 (1000 sats) for a waiter because it would be insulting. I’m so nervous of insulting someone!

Mike Hall ⚡️ 2y ago

This is different, you’ll get the hang of it.

kittencaboodle 2y ago

thanks… I’m getting there 😋
