nostr:npub164q45vfa8prpl7f63stsl9qm9n22v6julkasjdqxjc8kevchsj0sp42rl3 posed this question to nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and nostr:npub12qxvc5evxqt3rky25mfskywugalx5vnhppfl32cu903cnwpyu0uqkmq8u9 on today’s (banger) TPB episode:
For users who don’t “need” nostr yet (for its censorship-resistance, etc.), what are some reasons for a user to join this network’s social-media layer? (Paraphrased).
Here’s one… nostr is arguably the only network where you can show up, brand new, no “following” or af spend, and immediately start connecting with real humans about real stuff, and have an actual SOCIAL experience online.
Think about Twitter for a sec. Between the KYC, outrage algorithms, and promoted content, it’s damn near impossible to build a following, never mind a community. Same with the other platforms.
Hop on over to Nostr, drop an #introductions post and our happy #plebchain is at the ready to welcome you, offer technical pointers, and zap you, first thing.
You say hello and strangers literally start asking “hey nice to meet you, can I send you money?”
You show up and people want to be your friend and give you the best money ever discovered 😆
Trigger-happy #zap culture aside, you enter into a thriving social community on day one, where our favorite thing to do is boost your post and help you find other users who share your interests.
One could argue that nostr provides (among other stuff) the ONLY real social media network that a normal person can actually use.
There is no second best.
