How Nostr was created 🧠

Nostr was created by Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter, and Jay Graber, a software engineer. They released the first version of Nostr in early 2023.

Nostr is a decentralized social network protocol that allows users to create and interact with content without the need for a central server. Instead, Nostr uses a network of relays to store and transmit messages. This makes Nostr more resistant to censorship and surveillance than traditional social networks.

Who is the CEO of Nostr?

Nostr does not have a CEO, as it is a decentralized project with no central leadership. Jack Dorsey and Jay Graber are the creators of Nostr, but they do not have any formal leadership roles in the project.

The Nostr community is governed by a group of volunteer moderators who help to maintain the network and resolve disputes.

Have a nice day 🧡

I’ve been off Twitter and all social media except for Nostr for a month now, and the results are hard to argue with.

I’ve started reading real books again (4 this month) and have noticed both my patience and attention increase noticeably. I also feel less angry and anxiety daily, along with being committed to my workout routine.

I found that Nostr has met my social media needs, most importantly, my own ability to self-limit with it. Nostr is a bit ‘boring’ compared to traditional social media because ITS NOT TRYING TO KILL YOU!!!

Controlling your own data isn’t nearly as important in terms of ownership, as it is about allowing that information to be used against you. All of your most intimate thoughts and feelings are data mining by massive corporations specifically to find emotional triggers for you, so they can sell you shit, or force thoughts on to you.

Fuck these people that run these companies that farm our emotions to sell us shit, and to work with corrupt government to censor our speech, sell out dissidents, and destroy our internet.

We are much, much, much more powerful than they will ever be because we don’t need force, corrosion, or permission to run these systems of social connections that they cannot destroy.

My month of social media detox has really lifted the veil from the hate industry complex that are all social media companies today. Stop prostitution your content, thoughts and powers to these shitty companies that enrich the scum of the earth, and empower illegal, unconstitutional and immoral government agencies from their dragnet surveillance.

I’ll make one last tweet explaining this and then nuking my account in the next few weeks. Then I’ll be Nostr only.

next few weeks?

He who hesitates masturbates

welcome to a better life 🫂🧡

Instead of nuking your X account, I'd make a pinned post informing people where to find you (on #Nostr).

Im new in Nostr, need more insight from all of you 🙏

and is it possible nostr ban by government?

I understand why you don't like Twitter, I have always been allergic to it. Every time I followed a link to a Twitter page and read a few extra replies, I got the emotional equivalent of hives and nausea. Since these links to Twitter post now only expose the single post made by someone, it's much better! But what I don't get, yet, is what Nostr is supposed to be good for. I don't feel like I can search for Nostr content to educate myself, nor can I get my questions exposed to the right persons so they can answer them, nor can I get exposed to questions by others which I might be able to answer. It might just be a matter of time until I find a reason, but so far it often feels like a waste of time to scroll around Nostr, just because I like Freedom Tech.

Same here! Although, it’s relatively new. I was once a BIG people-pleaser.

Anyway, glad to find a new follow🫂

It’s tempting to want to be likable, but trying to be likable turns into unrelatable real quick.

Whenever I make a note, I just assume it’s going straight into the void and nobody will ever see it. That way, I’m noting what I WANT instead of what I think other people would like to see.

If people like it, they resonate with something about ME and not some sort of reflection I created of them. I’m not here to connect with EVERYONE, I’m here to find my tribe✌️

Is it Noster or Nostur?

Thank you Lady Mae, 3am and I had to hop back on and look around some more 😆

Oh no! Totally didn't get those vibes from you 💜🙌

My kids like the internet. A lot of kids enjoy it. My kid has been coding since he was 6 and has a Youtube channel with over 100 videos. Some of his videos have thousands of plays. I'm super amazing over the moon proud of him. He enjoys it. I don't have to nag or encourage - I didn't even know he had been so consistent up until recently. I'm a proud technology loving parent. I grew up in the age of computers and internet, why would I want anything less for my children! 😍

As a family, we are pretty relaxed and run with self-led learning and unschooling while we travel the world. 🌎 I'm good with my children accessing technology and the internet. Others might not be. But as a real world parent of 4 kids aged 2-17, I know what I'm doing. I'm comfortable with my choice to allow my children to experiment with these things that are a part of life this century. 💯

The world 'should' is not a really constructive word. Because every child is unique. Every family is different. Every should is a possible shaming tool to make a parent feel like maybe they aren't doing enough or that they 'should' do it another way. What if I'm not a 'great parent' because I allow my children to buck the trend that a bunch of adults determined as a group 'should not' be the way of great parenting. 💡

My experience of 8 years home schooling and 4.5 years worldschooling says let the children do what they love. Allow them to thrive. Allow them to be successful in the things that interest them. 💻

Finally. I learn more from my children than I can ever say. 💜

As adults, sometimes we think we know more than our small people. We put all our energy into studies and evidence and blah blah blah. But the truth is, very little of all that matters. Our children know more than we do. Watch. Observe. Learn from them instead of the adult world which is often speaking from indoctrination.

Living life to the fullest, play, do what we love, having wonderful relationships, hugs, time and adventure together is our priority. 🥰

I'm passionate about this because there is no perfect parenting. No parenting style is without flaws. Far too much emphasis is put on how we micromanage parenting. It is fear based. This is because as parents, it is natural to worry that we are messing up our kids. ❤️

However, the reality is, not one parent gets it perfect. You can be the "perfect" text book parent and still your child can reach adulthood and choose a life you never imagined. Alternatively, you can be the worst parent on the planet and your child might choose a life of incredible success.

I would love to see parents everywhere to chill. Relax. Tap into intuition. Allow discovery and exploration. Allow growth in interest led learning adventures. Drop the rules (I'm a rebel so rules for me are a waste of time) 😅

If kids are interested in digital life, it isn't a bad thing. 🤷‍♀️

And if families give their children devices too young or whatever, the best we can do is learn to accept that what may not be right for us, could be ok for them. It's their journey after all. 💛💛💛

Parenting is parenting. It's not easy. It's messy. We beat ourselves up enough as it is. We definitely don't need internet conversations that can make someone feel bad about their parenting choices. 🙏

More compassion. More love. More encouragement without judgement is whats needed for millennial parents around the world. 🥰

I totally feel the same. Ditched fb years back, never even went on twitter, insta etc. All my friends and family stayed on fb and I don't know anyone here in real life, but Nostr only for me.
