This man approaches you at a party and starts talking about decentralized social media protocols, wyd?

Hello new folks!

Why are we here and why are we building this? Here is a list of some things of some of the reasons I am building on #nostr instead of other protocols like mastodon, bluesky, etc.

It was all part of my transformation, both mentally and physically

Not good 🫣🙈

Do we need social media?

The answer will always be NO.

No one on their deathbed wishes and said they wasted more time on it.

Nothing like fasting whiling helping the kids eat 🫠

Money is superordinate to the economy.

Sadly, few.

You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.

I understand the impulse to ignore all that, focus on the violent revolt, and want to crush those who would inflict such violence (especially if your media is telling you all sorts of atrocity stories and minimizing the role of your own military in killing your own countrymen)
