I WILL NEVER TURN MY BACK ON BITCOIN. I HAVE DEDICATED MY LIFE TO THE MOVEMENT.

- TWITTER IS NOT BITCOIN.

- I DOUBT SATOSHI WOULD SUPPORT WE CHAT OF THE WEST LMFAO.

So far I love Nostr. I can see this being the future of social media. Experienced deleted and/or shadow bans on YouTube, IG, TikTok, Twitter, and Twitch. There’s nothing more defeating than putting hard work in to build an account up to 200K plus followers and then getting deleted in the blink of an eye. I am ready to go all in on Nostr. It’s such a genius idea. Does anyone have a link to an ‘explain like I am 5’ beginners guide to Nostr. I am super lost about all the different relays. Can you post to a specific relay or do your posts go out to all the relays you’re connected to ? I understand paid relays will have less spam and that’s a perk. How do you know what relay is worth paying for ? I have not found much info on what relays offer what benefits. When I get my head wrapped around Nostr a bit better I am going to start advocating for people to get on the app on all my other platforms (that haven’t banned me yet🤣)!! 🪴☀️🙏🏼 #introductions #grownostr #help #advice #wiki #request #bitcoin #creator #influencer #tiktok #ig #twitter #twitch

One of the most surprising things to me about Nostr has been allowing me to be myself again on the Internet. I hope that more and more people realize its enormous importance and that those of us here continue working outside to make it known. 💜🫂

that’s just it, people are genuinely addicted to other apps.

it’s hard to change consumer behavior in general, borderline impossible when addiction is involved.

what keeps me coming back? my friends are here. it’s not for news or discovering recipes (yet). it’s the people.

how do we attract groups of people and other online communities? that I don’t know, because unfortunately censorship resistance is not compelling enough on its own.

but one day it will be… nostr:note1w3fr88ry6m0n00rs7hvpx87mmuxvuww2680wzlgq79s8l05q5alsy64trg

I hate slack more every day.

I didn't write this to try to be convinced otherwise. I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy, and I do believe there is a lot to this universe that we can't understand, or that we can't even perceive. But if we could, there would be a logical explanation that goes beyond magic or God (although it would be perceived as a type of magic or "godly" power to us humans who have no other explanation).

I'm not interested in debating beliefs, and I certainly don't ridicule those who put their faith in Jesus Christ. Part of me even envies the ability others have to put their faith into something like Christianity, but that's not me.

SELF HELP INFLUENCERS WILL NOT TEACH YOU HOW TO LIVE A FULFILLED LIFE.

THEY ARE ADDICTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA LMFAO.

GOOD MORNING.

Watching our son be amazed by the world around him makes me remember how amazing the world is.

what the heck have we even been doing??

It's "American Easter" as the Greeks tend to call it (Orthodox Easter is May 5 this year), so it has me thinking about religion.

I grew up Greek Orthodox, and church was an integral part of my upbringing. Sunday school, Greek school after normal school, altar boy, etc. In my early 20s I wanted to be more religious, so I put a lot of effort into that. By my 30s, I came to the conclusion that I was ultimately just pretending. I really wasn't a believer and nothing would change that.

I don't make any decisions without a lot of deep thought and introspection. I spoke to many different people about my decision as well. Deciding to leave the church is almost like leaving your family-not an easy decision to make! Ultimately, I can't be that person who shows up every Sunday, and thoughtlessly goes through the motions just to be a part of a social club.

I've questioned this decision many times since, which is a normal process for me. I think it's healthy to constantly question who you are and what you are doing with your life.

Religious or not, the world would be a better place if folks followed the basic teachings of Jesus. Be a loving, caring, and honest person to yourself, your friends & family, and most importantly, to strangers you meet. I think that's worth believing in.
