I had to see for myself , a system of apps that run off of the same content that’s owned by the users who create it and not the apps the creation came through. No algorithms that try to get you to buy anything , like products or narrative ideas. I’ll be darned , it was true and now since I have joined there are more apps now that I haven’t even seen and they serve the users not the apps … naturally I always encourage this because from experience and all I ever hear is complaining about those other systems (yet those who complain won’t walk away) , even if you disagree with what someone says here, it doesn’t make your blood boil and staying positive is without a doubt the easiest path to take in this protocol , this positivity floods itself out into my daily (fiat) life too (I was never a butcoiner or cryptocurrency enthusiast ever, but from what I have learned being here , it’s #bitcoin for life!),, the world around us is designed to make our heads spin so much that you might think you need to be on something , I believe that is by design ,, sadly the intention of centralized social apps say they are designed to do good , but then why don’t they? I believe the human spirit was designed to do good and when it’s provided a space like #nostr where functionality that can be used in everyday life that isn’t “designed” to make you that way , it just happens, or so , it’s what I have witnessed/experienced,, most of the negative things I have read that someone has said about #nostr from another system , like telegram , are all “I heard this “ or “I heard that”,, that’s the clue right there , you can’t know what you are not willing to know , otherwise you will only know what others want you to know if you don’t get off your butt and experience it for your self .. it’s like keeping people on the sidelines till the games end but who will never get a chance to play and then using them to clean up after the ones who got to play because you let them stand on the sidelines, kind of slavish if you ask me ?
It’s hard to convince someone that freedom is something good if they don’t know they are not free and have had the idea of good reword in their brains.
Sorry I got a little off topic , but I have a hand full of contributors I am working towards helping them get setup in #nostr .. I’m not even a Dev, or hacker/cracker ,, but I know goodness when I see and feel it and it’s always my purpose to help share goodness ,, it’s something that keeps me positive and something I feel like I’m supposed to do.
