Welcome new Nostr users! Yes, Apple wanted to ban a Nostr app because of "Zaps". What are Zaps? They're a way to provide signal and value to someone's content. They're a true form of feedback versus the hollowness of "Likes".

We're using Zaps to create a value for value economy here on Nostr. We're changing the social narrative.

But, beyond Zaps, Nostr is great because it's censorship resistant and decentralized. That means if Apple does ban the Damus app, there's dozens of other clients on the web, iOS, or Android that still function just fine.

In fact, Damus was banned in China several months ago. Those Chinese users are still using Nostr. It's beautiful.

Decentralization is the future. Welcome to it. We're glad to have you here.
