With Nostr, I feel like I'm in a coffee shop where people are talking.

Except, you're free to join conversations and others are mostly welcoming to your contribution. Then you can leave again and go back to reading your book in the corner with no pressure or expectation.

Regardless of what you do, others are happy you're there. Even if you never spoke to anyone, it feels like I spent time with people.

Except, unlike other places, I don't feel the need to perform.
