My First 3 Thoughts About Using Nostr.

1. The feed here feels clean, less like a firehose of nonsense, and more like an experience. Social media fatigue has been my biggest hurdle to trying something new. Between 𝕏, Facebook, and Instagram, keeping up has been exhausting as a solopreneur. But this? It’s like revisiting “Old ways, new days.” Honestly, it’s pretty damn cool to see a space that feels this refreshing. I’m getting the late1990s AOL WaReZ room feels.

2. Let’s face it…the way social media monetizes engagement is a dumpster fire, as it rewards spammy behavior, divisive posts, and clickbait nonsense. Here, the idea of people directly rewarding people feels…right. It aligns incentives in a way that makes sense; over time, I think this will be what sets Nostr apart.

3. The overall vibe here? Optimistic. It’s refreshing not to wade through the black-pilled doomers dominating 𝕏 these days. Over there, it feels like the loudest voices are just shouting their opinions into the void—and honestly, I’m over it. Here, the conversations feel constructive. People want to contribute something meaningful instead of just making noise.

I should have listened to you guys much, much earlier ✊🏽

Christmas or not, it’s easily one of the best movies ever.

𝕏 is becoming increasingly unbearable.

Today is my first day here, totally different vibe, for sure. I can see myself using 𝕏 less and less.

I’m coming up on 1,000 days of Lions diet. Red meat only here…the edge is almost unfair.

Bitcoin puts hair on your face + chest too 💪🏽 😆

How’s your Christmas orange pilling going?

Thanks for the clever sat-stacking technique nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle

I started showing people my first 10 Amazon purchases after the 2020 shutdowns. It’s a milestone most can vividly recall.

The list? Not exactly life-changing: new boxers, a beach chair for that vacation we swore would happen, 100 disposable masks, guitar wall hangers, you get the idea.

People’s heads explode when I weigh what I spent on those against what the same amount in Bitcoin would be worth today.

I’m batting 100% with orange-pilling since I’ve started sharing the doc with people.

Likely.

I embraced a fresh start by canceling 𝕏 Premium and signing up for Premium here.

Merry Christmas 🎄
