One of the features I've really appreciated over the years about FB as a platform is the ability for searching for nearby friends and friends of friends living in certain locations.

I get the sense that #nostr perhaps because it is so #bitcoin centric maybe, has more of a flare of anonimity, that it seems like the purpose is not necessarily to make connections that you can take offline IRL too. Am I correct?!?

Though, I'd personally like to see, as this freedom tech movement grows over the next few decades, that it can hopefully empower and encourage our society to have more human to human IRL connection not less. I would love to see it assist in the repair of disconnect we've been witnessing and experiencing rapidly take place over the last decade+ through/by this whole virtual world prism we've been getting more deeply sucked and entrenched into.

Just sayin...

For myself, some of these interactions that were taken to irl because I randomly saw a friend is nearby have contributed to some of the biggest shifts in my world and best friendships. And I appreciate that.

I loved reaching out to someone in my network just yesterday who I randomly came across and noticed lives close to where I happened to be and that short interaction now is enhancing my experience.

We may even meet in person and who knows what co-emerges from that.
