Hi all. Just trying this thing out. I was listening to a tech podcast (Tech Won’t Save Us) and they were slagging off Nostr and Jack Dorsey . Thought, I have to check this out and decide for myself.
Unlike most people here (probably), I am not into bitcoin but I do have a few “Banano” who I got from running Folding at Home. They’re not worth much but I am hoping they will go to the moon! 😂🚀

Welcome.😊
I don’t understand why people have a hard on for Jack Dorsey, he’s partly responsible for creating the most toxic social media platform of all time.
Then he proceeds in helping to build Bluesky, the new twitter, before coming here.
To me, he didn’t come here because he wanted to or had some grand paradigm shift, he came here because there was nowhere else to go.
Welcome to the protocol of the free! Check out nostrapps.com for some of the different ways you can use nostr as you get more setup. Feel free to ask questions and tag #asknostr or #plebchain. Ive been doing the nostr thing for about a year and a half and develop some assorted scripts and currently focused on Corny Chat, an open source audio chat service with nostr and lightning integrations that can also be used anonymously. cornychat.com
Good morning! Welcome to Nostr!
Some folks are here to shout into the air about bitcoin, some are just here because it’s a nice place to share their hobbies. Just be patient, Nostr is growing steadily!
nostr:npub17zk2weur62r0t4endvfg3z84muljn8s8r9e74up72gqfrh8rxphqlqm5zy also likes linux maybe y'all can be friends 🤙
Hey, welcome! I came into Nostr with pretty much the same assumptions and decided to also check it out for myself. Over the years I've learned that sometimes people's opinions are correct, but other times, it's best to actually look into things yourself, and in this instance, I'm glad I did.
I'm also not too huge into bitcoin, but I've been all over crypto for years, ETH, BTC, even made a ton of NFTs before Opensea killed royalties lol
you don’t have to like bitcoin to use nostr, bitcoin has nothing to do with nostr, except that it shares the same cryptography.
we use it a lot here for zapping posts, but that was an extension to the protocol and you can ignore it.
Welcome Joe. Nostr is the social glue that binds all of our applications together. You have a portable digital social identity that you can take with you and be in charge of all of your data. 💜🫂🤙🏻
welcome! 🫂
