Freedom to read, fredom to write... and zaps 💜

A self sovereign, consorship resistant social media protocol. Memes, code, bitcoin and shit posting.

So we like zap people and stuff. And we like, say stuff like GM PV and Wabi Sabi. And then like, sometimes plebstrs do like coffee chains and stuff. So like, ya.

p2p social media.

It's usenet with pictures.

Nostr is a social media protocol without algo. You can make 1 unique profil to access many clients and different apps. BTC Lightning is integrated ⚡️

It's fun without Elon or Zuck.

Social media without the algorithm. Where people like to actually engage and have a good time.

It's facebook, but you can't get banned.

Twitter, but without a centralized server, run on multiple servers, uses BTC for supporting creators you like, but it's blockchain-based, meaning once you post something, it's there permanently.

Tell them it's very DIY & takes a bit of work, but the rewards might be worth it to them (if they value btc, non-invasive tech, ability to post longer content for free, and free speech)

Nostr is the open-sourcing of speech on a global scale.

Like X but decentralized. A value for value social media network where you can keep your privacy and send Bitcoin crumbs to people that provide value content or content you like. May it be sophisticated or just entertainment.

It will be what the internet was supposed to be before it was taken captive by the Big Tech. Right now it is free social media.

Nostr is freedom and other cool stuff

Unless they are an engineer, only talk about what it can do. Not how or why. e.g. no one can censor you, no ragebait, etc

It's Twitter almost 20 years ago. Free, open, fun.

Don't mention the Bitcoin/Sats aspect out of the gate. Most people don't like that...

Myself, personally, Nostr feels like the internet as it was back then - at least in theory.

Depends on their age and their computer literacy for me.

If they're young I tell them about siloed walls.

If they're old I tell them about the days of Dial-Up.

No one seems to give a shit about owning their own data, no adverts, no censorship, zaps or the ability to create ANYTHING you want on this protocol. It's quite astounding.
