Are anyone's kids using Nostr? Are you a teen that uses Nostr? Are we cool enough to attract the Zoomers yet? Or are they still TikTokin' and using The Gram?
Discussion
😂😂😂😂Question mark
I mean how do we show up in front of them ?? We have no marketing or influencers that they listen to yet 🤣
wer nostr activists
Nostrvists
#FreeNostrNOW

I had to get agreed with some day right?
hue dont feel like being ageeed with? or is this a general saying?
Lol nah I'm just an anxiety. I try to take the encouragement end of whatever I'm agreeing with always. I just like being ridiculous🤷🏽🤍🖤🤍🖤
Think of me like your weirdo friend, a mix of Georges Méliès, Buster Keaton, and a Bugs Bunny- Road Runner type cartoon character. Still trying to figure out the pulling things from my imagination into thin air by reaching into my pants thing but haven't mastered that one yet. 🤷🏽
I'd say Chaplin but people would get a case of the "ohhhhh your stache! That makes sense" when I was really going for Doc Holliday with that one...
Nosfluence
Just keep pushing our Nostr influencers #[4], #[5], and #[6] on them until they move over here. Also, our memes dealers (you #[3], #[7], and #[8]) need to start using using more GenZ terminology like rizz, bussin, and no cap. 😂 (<- laughing emoji is also for old people apparently, but I still use it.)
You’re right! I’m also not gonna leave these other platforms where they’re still on so I can try & onboard them! Don’t think marching off them will help us in the long run 🫡
Yeah, I definitely feel that. I’ve been wanting to delete my other accounts, but haven’t done so yet. I’d need to make a personal account on Nostr that isn’t a nym account. I’ve been thinking about it though. Obviously wouldn’t publish that npub on this profile though.
Ouuuuuu I might just do that!!!
wait let me… sorry, lemme get this… rizz ✍️ bussin ✍️ no cap ✍️

What are these words
I’m going to have to bring on an inclusivity consultant for my memes to make sure I properly understand and incorporate the vernacular of each generation in adequate proportions
#[9] is 2 yrs younger then me he’s got u covered
On god, the gen z vocab be bussin fr fr, no cap.
🫂
Nostr is giving me the option to translate this 😂 
Hahaha 🤣
I’ll be the translator for y’all:
On god - I swear to God
Vocab - vocabulary
Bussin - really good, really cool
fr - for real
no cap - not lying
That’s word.
news to me 🥹
Been keeping up with the slang, just to not admit to myself I am not that young anymore. 🫠 
Pura Vida 😎🖖🚬🍺
(checks notes)
Yes fam 💜
(ducks)
Dats real son
‘rizz’ is something that the young kids call “having game with women” or just being able attract women.

Fortunate 🫂
These days especially, bad rizz will make you end up with a rizztraining order
Rizz Training could be a funny idea for a reality show 😂
Absolutely, the main guy would be called the Rizzard of Oz.
Teaching Quantum Rizzics.
People could nominate friends to be contestants and then the first episode would be the Rizzard of Oz showing up to serve them their Rizz Training Orders.
It would consist of exactly 13 episodes. We would make a separate drama series out of this and call it the…
13 Rizzons Why
You all are on a roll 😂
Just the first one to help you out, that’s all
Call me the First Rizzponder
Are you guys rizztarded
Y’all 100 throwing shade! These GZs have no idea what we had in the 90’s! SIKE!
Me trying to explain rizz to people 
I think that transition from orange to red is blended and there’s no clear distinction between the two 😂. That’s how it is for me at least.
If every word isn’t followed by -izzle, you might not be a Milli! Yeah that’s what I’m calling is now. We’ve earned ours!
Just helping people convert to rizzlam
The training resort would be called the Rizz Carlton
I gotchu King Corn Dog! 
Urban dictionary is ur bestie wen it comes to these

I used it once in my class and kept worrying about inappropriate material showing up. My students all use WOS for our class marketplace, but I won’t use nostr until it’s easy to setup a classroom relay or if there’s an education specific relay.
Most don't even know #nostr exists because not one influencer is pushing nostr on them or put it in their face..
😂💜
I am Gen Z, bring it.
Yah gen z is done being born, gen alpha is up next where the tiny tots at
tiny tots?
same, no idea what “tiny tots means 🤣💜
Like tater tots but small people instead of small potatoes
oke
If gen z is already in their 20s, alpha must be pretty young still? Probably small humans. But surely they’re on TikTok every parent I see with a kid old enuf to be annoying hands them a phone/tablet
The youngest Gen Z age is 14 years old actually. Gen Alpha start after that. Not sure if you even want Gen Alpha on here.
Nostr for kids was being discussed today
On the bitcoin lobby. That means there are 13yo as gen alpha. Nostr for kids!relays needed for kids, clients needed for kids. Nip-42 private family relays for kids. Id rather kids have non-algorithmic content then be programmed personally.
I
Planning on bringing on somebody “really late Gen Z”. Could make a project out of this, just to get feedback and also see how their mind process this.
Probably not the best idea for undeveloped prefrontal cortexes to be using nostr given the permanence of the content.
Are they called zoomers or quaranteeners 🤣 anyway I heard talk about a kid friendly relay in the works I would like my oldest to try this but social media has its own issues
I am planning on getting one teen on, but I am for sure planning it out for a long time before.
they're definitely still tiktokerin ser
“The Gram”… is that what the kids are calling it?
?cid=2154d3d7xf7diryhqk8de39v1reppes4z6wb5i9n84ulfuud&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g
One more thing not one YouTube podcast of bitcoin only is not putting up nostr stuff just Twitter links soooooooooo it needs to strat with the ones tgat have a following already but I have yet yo hear an all bitcoin podcast blast nostr pics or anything like that..
My kid #[2]
She’s using the https://nostrkid.com relay. We are looking for beta testers to join the relay and earn Bitcoin.
Shit I'm Gen Z 😂 never checked that...
Someone the other day, forgot who.... was posting about running kidonly relay. Damn impossible to find probably lol on mobile
I’m 53 but feel like teen. I quit snapbooktok for NOSTR
🙋♀️ My son is here since Jan 4. My girls are not 😂
🔥
how does he like it on Nostr so far! he been on a lot?
#[5]
You can see how often he participates 😂
#[2], with you being GenZ, do you have a GenZ dictionary for all the oldies like me to use? https://nostr.build/av/nostr.build_3eb6119613a853fdecc8df4eb7da1a3bc93527cf37bbb12726020cf553261bfc.mov
Urban Dictionary will help you out with all of that 💜
My son is here lurking
It will be a cold day in cyberspace before my kids use any social media, decentralized or not.
Well if they start using social media at some point, better to use one which doesn't actively try to maximise their screen-time and suggest them the most provoking content possible, right?
Ya, I just figure none of the social media execs let their kids on the platforms they themselves created. They know something we don’t. Never trust a skinny chef.
Now, if they use the nostr protocol to create aps that are very locked down and prevented unsolicited interaction, then ya sign me up.
Yeah I think that's because of the creepiness of the "traditional" social media platforms which amplify hate and enragement.
Agreed. Traditional social media is inherently toxic. This is better. I fear it’s a matter of time though. As the userbase grows, I don’t know if healthy relays can be created as quickly as unhealthy people toxify existing relays.
I know the debate is as old as time, but I fall more on the side of mankind being inherently evil. So, I see most of the depravity on social media as a symptom of humanity as opposed to social media causing today’s societal problems.
As an example, places like prawnhub have great accessibility but if I want to find a pdf repository and download a technical manual for my tractor it’s like pulling teeth. People’s penchant for the absurd and destructive always outpaces the healthy.
That's pretty dark! I believe there are not too many inherently evil people, but a lot of people do evil when the social structures incentivise it, even slightly. On traditional social media it's just incentivised like crazy. But as you say, it's an argument as old as time.
you can hold out for a while, but when they become teenagers, that's how teenagers communicate with one another. we need better alternatives. we must build them.
Do you think it’s safe for a teen to be here ? I don’t with all the nudity, etc..that’s here in global.
Eh. I don't want to have my kids seeing that, but I also understand that when I was my son's age I was browsing playboy.com and using altavista.digital.com to search for boobs. My point is if they want to see it, they're going to see it.
It’s available too easily here, you are not looking for it, and yet you encounter it. But I agree if a teen wants to look for nudity, and NSFW content he can find a way
lol like 5 feet from the phone socket using a netzero demo disk cause I assumed my father had the ability to track the aol dial up
Not what you asked but wouldn't "Nostr for kids" be just a well-curated list of npubs to follow in a client without the global feed?
An special relays, but yes, that's almost what #[4] is building.
This is what I’m waiting for to be able to use it in my classroom. I did it once and was worried the whole time something inappropriate would come onto my, or one of my student’s feed.
Would you be interested in testing nostrkid?
Yes. Could I keep myself and students/location anonymous?
I have a dedicated relay. wss://rly.nostrkid.com. You can add it to your relay list to get the nostrkid feed. Nostrkids are whitelisted on the relay and the only ones with write access.
Kids can talk to one another but no adults. Adults can see and zap kids, but kids cannot see their comments. There is currently only one nostrkid
I have little experience so building as I go, but I envision nostrkid to be a place for kids to learn everything and earn Bitcoin.
I currently have:
A dedicated relay
A hacked coracle client
LightningTipBot
This is awesome
Yes. I believe we can do this in an anonymous way. I have some good ideas on how to do this that are beyond my abilities, but I’m learning and open to accepting help. Many of us on #nostr have kids who are largely separated from us on web2. I believe #nostr fixes this.
This sound awesome. What age groups are you targeting?
All ages for beta. My kid is 9. I have several who will be joining soon, some as old as 15. At scale something like this will likely have multiple relays and connectivity, probably different age groups with educational content appropriate for each age group.
But right now, it’s just my kid:)
Okay. This all sounds great. I’ve been trying to figure out a use case for nostr in my classroom, as they are already using lightning wallets for our class economy, we use google classroom for assignments and communications, I run a coding class and we use swift playgrounds. I’m wondering where it would fit? I mean I could use it to teach them about decentralization and censorship resistance etc.
That is awesome! What a great teacher these kids have.
Kids (and everybody) need to learn about digital autonomy, ownership, and what it means to exists safely in a world that is currently largely centralized.
#[5] has learned a lot since joining #nostr. Watched very closely for sections of my vps LNbits build and wants to give droplets a shot now. 🤯
I see nostrkid as a place where kids can set goals and complete challenges to earn sats, host a nostr-market, and make friends all over the world who are doing the same thing.
Challenges would be technology (learning ai and coding), community (neighborhood cleanups), and Bitcoin focused. Rewards for completing challenges would be sats.
#[2] son does. I’ll let her fill ya in on his experience.
Tiktonkin and gramming still 😫
Not to mention that there is 18+ content coming up in global feed from time to time. It will need some thinking and changes/setup to make it kid friendly.
