Before nostr, Iβve never been active on social media. For me nostr is the first, and I suspect the last social media network that Iβll ever use. Itβs just different, in a good way πΆπΎπ«‘

Man , I feel exactly the same way . Wouldn't have touched social media with a barge pole, but I'll scroll Nostr all day .
Absolutely! Itβs hard to express in words what it is, but it is different πΆπΎπ«π
Me too.
I am grateful for all the people I was able to meet on nostr! I didnβt think I would be able to forge strong relationships in my stage of my life. And doing it online was out of the question πΆπΎπ«πππ»
My wife finds it very strange that I have as well. Itβs much harder to meet like minded people when you get a bit older.
She still thinks youβre all 12 year psychos living in your aunties basement, but I assure her youβre not π
Time will tell, I suppose.
I guarantee I am not. I am jaded old man living in my own house and have no basement πΆπΎπ€£π€£π€£
π thatβs a exactly what a 12 year old boy, peeing into milk jugs, in their auntieβs basement would say ππ
Tell here there's homeschoolers, nomads and for sure absolute antivaxxers tooπ€©
Def last for me. I just canβt go back knowing this exists no matter what happens. Iβll be the only nostr user if I have to be.
We can be the last two users if it comes to that. Iβll even make a fucking relay if needed πΆπΎπ€£π€£π€£ππ»π«
This is very much the same for me. I have Instagram and Twitter to follow some accounts I am interested in but never really post much on either of them, and I have Facebook just for keeping I touch with family. Nostr is different, it is much more like a community and the interactions feel much more genuine than on other social media.
And so much more πΆπΎπ«π«π«πππ»
I only tried Facebook for the first time in 2020 when covid madness started. That's where most people I knew at the time were. That's when I was still shocked that everyone around me believed total fairytales told by absolute clouns and turned full fascist. I thought I could still save them. After that failed, after years of total darkness, Nostr brought a lot of joy with all the sanity in here.
Same here. I was always a "lurker" on places like Twitter/Facebook, but absolutely never posted anything before.
Good to have you here! πΆπΎπ«π
