Why connections on #Nostr are significantly more powerful:

1) the people who populate this protocol are demonstrably forward thinking, freedom-oriented individuals who propagate high-signal message.

2) users are able to directly support builders in a free marketplace where technical solutions get more resilient over time and demand drives innovation directly.

3) value-for-value model creates an incentive structure for better content, and more thoughtful interactions between users. #PoW for PoW

4) un-censorable rails allow free thinking individuals the ability to converse and share ideas / content as they see fit. Importance of this was on fully display during the Covid / vaxx psyop where thousands were censored / banned / de-platformed for disagreeing with the establishment.

5) no algo insanity.
