I was a habitual Facebook user for many years. Built a good business on Facebook (Facebook also killed it), found fascinating communities and even made great friends, but the lack of privacy and constant rat race was always a cringe. I tried to ignore how irritating it can be, trying to stay up to trend with the latest algorithm (if I did not do this my business was non existent), trying to ignore all the ads and friend requests from nosey family members. Every now and then I'd lose my mind, delete the app take a break for a week or 2, gather all my courage and jump back in. It drained the life out of me, I hated every moment, but I could see no way out. I tried every possible alternative social media platform, Twitter, Steemit, Mastodon, MeWe, Minds the list goes on and on and on. But after using each of them for a short time, I'd jump back on the Facebook train. None of them offered what I wanted and needed, mostly just bunch of garbage content.

A year ago my husband showed me Nostr, as usual he got me all excited, I tried it for a bit and thought to myself, "nah, it is just another dead platform". I love Bitcoin and enjoy Bitcoin content, but I need other stuff as well.

Jumping forward a year, my husband persuaded me to try it again. I went in half-heartedly and was amazed how much Nostr has grown! Within using it for a week, I deleted my Facebook for good and not looking back. Nostr offers a wide variety of content and it is unscensored. No more quilt trips, no more non-stop ads and it got my creative juices flowing again.

Nostr rocks 🙌
