"Hey guys what's up? Just a new and totally real Nostr user here with a very legitimate new-user question I came up with since, as you see, I'm a new user. I've seen a lot of people encouraging #onlyzaps and I'm confused. To be clear, again, I'm new. As a totally new user, isn't Nostr supposed to be a decentralized and censorship-resistant protocol for creating social apps that ANYONE can use and not just bitcoiners? As every new user knows, bitcoin is taboo and weird and different, so why, as a totally legitimate new user, would I be expected to only use zaps and not other ways of engaging with people on Nostr? Thanks for helping a simple new user out."

You don’t have to zap to engage. Just reply to the folks you feel have interesting things to say or show you. Good chance they will reply back and now your engaged.

Here’s what you need to do. Aquire a full solar array, 12 s-19s, a raspberry pi, download Linux, open some lightning channels, set up a cold card, tattoo your seed phrase behind your eyelids, because you live in the mempool now

"As a new user, should I be concerned about whether a raspberry pi is the best hardware for a new user node? You didn't say 'node' but obviously I've done a little lurking already before this and am guessing that's what you meant."

It’s a baked good. I don’t see what lymph nodes have to do with enjoying a nice slice of pie.

Lol πŸ˜‚ I just don't get how people here can simultaneously be so incredibly intelligent and yet so utterly dense as to not recognize these. 😭😭😭

I like to think our better nature is just a little gullible... but realistically its probably much simpler than that πŸ˜ΆπŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Sigh... πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

I’m so flattered at all of you kind #nostriches for zapping me 21 bitcoins so many times! I am so #blessed to be on the #nostr as a brand new user.
