ANTIDOTE TO WOKE MIND VIRUS FOR ONE
Why Nostr?
It enables free, decentralized communication, beyond the reach of centralized control.
Why is it important?
It protects privacy and freedom of speech in an increasingly monitored world.
Why should people care?
Your data is your property. Nostr gives you control over your identity and protects your freedom.
1. Because it's all we have left. We have an open protocol that is getting better by the day, we have hope.
2. We need the ability to openly communicate in a permissionless way. We cannot rely on centralized trash and people like elon. Telegram's founder gave in to the government in less than 2 weeks.
3. See 1 and 2.
Because our children will live free!
Complete control of a population is impossible without complete control of information.
Nostr frees information.
I like this. 🔥🫡
For freedom 🫡
To maintain remembrance.
As our lives become increasingly digitized, the integrity of our previous selves (digital history) is of utmost importance. I can’t forget and I won’t be lied to, so I’m here.
Why not?
Because no one can control or stop us.
Oh, and I almost forgot:
Because we will soon be able to interact with aspects of nostr via ham radio.
#HAMSTR
#Unstoppable
Because it is in no one's control and in everyone's control.
1A INSURANCE
Freedom of speech is an unalienable right. Unalienable rightrs are not granted by governments and they cannot be taken away by any government or person.
Freedom of speech is not granted by the 1st Amendment. The 1st Amendment explicitly tells the goernemtn that it shall not infringe on the freedom of speech or on the freedom of religion.
No ads, sponsored content, verification. It's important because verification is the start of too much control and social credit scores scare me. Many people don't care about control anymore (I think it's sad) but for those who care about their freedom and independence from control Nostr offers a better alternative to what currently exists - with so much additional potential beyond what we have seen in traditional social and communication platforms 💯🙌
3 key features:
- Privacy
- Self-custodial
- Decentralised
THIS IS WHY. 🫡

Because here, the only thing people expect you to say is what you honestly think.
Systems built on lies and falsehoods are innately fragile.
Nothing good comes from fragile systems.
AI 🏃🏿➡️🏃🏼➡️to invade
I'm new here, but I understood this can be an uncensored version of x, instagram, tiktok and youtube all in one place! If this is correct, that's simply mind-blowing and I'll never go back! Honest question: will these relays be able to cope with storing all the data if everyone moves to nostr?
cause it's awesome, duh!
Because they can't stop it.
Freedom from being banned
Straight to source, less middle men
The content you spend so much time creating on social media is actually yours.
No Zuckerberg, No Elon, No UE...
Being yourself is the greatest freedom there is
As censorship reaches critical mass. People need a place to freely share their thoughts without fear of removal. Nostr puts the power back in the user's hands.
Generally better content that's fucking with me less. Feels much more social and less performative than I remember Twitter.
The primary features that make Nostr important are decentralisation, personal control of keys, and of course censorship resistance.
All other features, whilst maybe cool, are just stocking fillers in comparison.
> it's a real global/local town square
> allows everyone to build/shape SM experiences
> people should care because its the best way to get free bitcoin / get paid in bitcoin
IDK that's just fun and everyday something new. Nostr is just works!
Having more privacy, no algorithms, censorship resistance.
I love #Nostr 💜🫂
Nostr is your voice.
Bitcoin is your energy.
Freedom flows from Open Networks
WHY GOD?!
well govt. will seize relays
Because your keys, your freedom of speech and your identity.
Sorry, this post is too subversive. We will be taking it down shortly.
-- Your friends at the Ministry of Truth
Because people have important shit to say.
Because Freedom
I’ll answer according to my understanding (pleb though I may be):
Broken money leads to centralized control of the flow of information. This happens because privately held social media companies effectively hold a monopoly (and so does Google) on this market. The network effect has made it difficult for regular folks to forego making use of them, because it’s the average persons primary means of keeping in touch with each other. They can amass a large troughs of information that they can sell to advertisers. They can make special interest groups to lobby the government. So they help the rich to get richer and strangle the users into “safe” spaces using algorithms. “Unsafe” content often connotes sex traffickers and terrorists (which, obviously nobody likes), and conspiracy theorists; but over the last few years we have seen anything less than politically expedient to be wantonly censored. In this manner, social media and bit tech feed into consolidation of political interests, and the furtherance of fiat crimes.
Nostr leverages hard money and circumvents all of these atrocities. It gives users access to content without the interference of the algorithm. It protects the potential for users to earn hard money for their contribution of value.
If you made it through this whole post, thank you. And if you like, please feel free to indulge me and let me know your thoughts.

LIVE FREE OR DIE
I am here every day now figuring that out. I think there’s a few reasons, but I’m not there to tell you fully what they are yet.
Oh, I also think it’s an ecosystem. That’s why I think it’s important.
IN A WORLD WHERE DATA IS CENTRALIZED, SOLD, AND OFTEN USED TO MANIPULATE BEHAVIOR, NOSTR OFFERS A PATH TOWARD A MORE OPEN, USER-CONTROLLED INTERNET. FOR THOSE WHO VALUE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, PRIVACY, AND CONTROL OVER THEIR DIGITAL IDENTITY, NOSTR IS A CRUCIAL STEP FORWARD. IT EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS, RESISTS CENSORSHIP, AND FOSTERS INNOVATION, MAKING IT A VITAL PART OF THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE INTERNET.
No Brasil, onde a censura parece estar ganhando força, o Nostr é uma ferramenta poderosa para eu manter minha liberdade de expressão e controle sobre minha voz online. Ele me oferece um espaço seguro e descentralizado, onde posso me proteger de bloqueios e de medidas arbitrárias, garantindo que minha comunicação continue fluindo sem interferências.
Imma make a client that doesn't allow caps
Nostr represents a growing movement toward decentralization and individual control in the digital age—values that are becoming increasingly important as people seek alternatives to traditional, corporate-controlled networks.
X is important
Well, apparently because fuck DNS. Thanks nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg Looking forward to seeing how this functionality builds out so we can return to the real peer-to-peer node-to-node internet that I briefly glimpsed in the early 90s
Last chance saloon cowboy
Because lot of clients, it's exciting
Because out there there are things that are not important.
They don't should care
We need a decentralised mind and decentralised thoughts. We need the REAL diversity.
Not the created ‘diversity’ that we see in regular (social) media. Not pre-programmed people. Real and honest people from all over the world sharing their best stuff and helping each other.
WHATEVER #NOSTR IS FREE SPEECH SOCIAL
I LOVE #NOSTRONLY 🫡💜🔥
NOSTR WORKS THE WAY THE INTERNET WAS INTENDED, BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE.
IN A WORLD WHERE WE ARE BEING CHOKED INTO A CENSORSHIP (COMMUNIST) REGIME, NOSTR GIVES PEOPLE THE FREEDOM AND POWER TO NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.
NOSTR IS THE LIGHT SEEN IN THE DISTANCE OF A DARK, DARK TUNNEL. IF WE WANT TO LEAVE THE WORLD BETTER THAN WE FOUND IT, NOSTR IS THE (PUBLIC/PRIVATE) KEY
Nostr is the first social media protocol since Usenet that is global and borderless. No corporate borders, no national borders. Not even email is as free ranging because SMTP servers have been coopted by government fiat.
Anyone is able to choose their relays, and post messages. If a relay goes down, 2 other will rise in their place. And it's all based in text.
When i have my own relay to store catches, i will never be limited to the number of catches without a subscription like Elon did for a while a year ago.
He did it for a while, but I figured they could do it again at any time.

1. Freedom of speech.
2. Censorship-resistant.
3. No one’s words cab be silenced by a few.
Decentralised innit 🤙
Fuck the evil corps. Decentralize the interwebz.
If those Australian censorship laws are passed then all Aussie citizens will need Nostr to speak freely.
They have given Ausies one week to put in submissions during first week of school holidays and football grand final this weekend, as well as public holiday short work week.
Thank goodness I put mine and husband's submissions in early bcause today (oh yeh, oh so coincidentally), the government's parliamentary site is down.

Why Nostr?
In a world where governments and corporations increasingly seek to manipulate and control the narrative, #Nostr offers a refreshing alternative. By leveraging the power of decentralised networks, Nostr empowers individuals to reclaim their #autonomy and engage in unfettered discourse.
Why is it important?
Nostr's importance lies in its potential to revolutionise the way we interact and share information. By providing a decentralised platform for communication, Nostr:
1. Challenges the dominance of centralised #socialmedia platforms, which often prioritise profit over #freespeech and individual autonomy.
2. Enables the creation of community-driven networks, where users can engage in meaningful discussions without the influence of algorithms or #censorship.
3. Fosters a #culture of transparency and accountability, as users are free to verify the authenticity of information and hold each other accountable for their actions.
In an era where the boundaries between #truth and #propaganda are increasingly blurred, Nostr offers a beacon of #hope for those seeking to engage in authentic, unmediated discourse.
Why should people care?
People should care about Nostr because it represents a fundamental shift in the way we approach #communication and information exchange.
By embracing Nostr, individuals can:
1. Reclaim their autonomy and agency in the digital realm, free from the influence of centralised authorities.
2. Engage in meaningful discussions and #BUIDL communities that are resilient to #censorship and #manipulation.
3. Contribute to the creation of a more transparent and accountable information ecosystem, where truth and authenticity are valued above all else.
In a world where the flow of information is increasingly controlled and manipulated, #Nostr offers a powerful tool for those seeking to challenge the #statusquo and forge a new path forward.
Nostr has the potential to be a game-changer in the pursuit of #selfsovereignty , individual #freedom and #autonomy.
In the past they had the newspapers and television, now they capture the Internet Media.
To be free
To find truth and authenticity
#Freewill
