No I mean there is no one here to censor what you or anyone else says, no algorithm that will "shadow ban you", no one that can deactivated your account. You can unfollow people so you personally don't see their posts but anything anyone posts stays. (I am by no means an expert on this but this is my understanding of how it works). For example during covid if you spike out against vaccines on twitter or facebook you could be banned or have your account deactivated none of that here. I am sure not every single thing said on nostr is true but you get to decide what to believe not someone or something behind the scenes.

Hello and welcome, for me it's a place to view and share uncensored content. I don't agree with everything said here but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be said. Everyone should have a right to their own opinions.

I wouldn’t say smart, but I would say genuine.

It's about freedom.

No strings, no chains attached.

MR. PINK: Let me explain something to you. I don't zap.

MR. BROWN: You don't zap? What do you mean, you don't zap?

MR. PINK: I don't believe in it.

MR. BLUE: You don't believe in zapping? Zapping is a tradition! It's a fundamental part of the Nostr culture!

MR. PINK: Look, I understand what it is. I get the whole lightning network thing. But I just don't do it.

MR. WHITE: What are you talking about, you don't do it? These guys are sharing their thoughts, their art, their memes. They're adding value to the network. You zap 'em. It's the least you can do.

MR. PINK: No, it's the most I can do. I'm already on Nostr. I'm adding my own content. I'm a part of the network. They get paid in sats just for posting. The whole damn thing is built on a a decentralized, censorship-resistant protocol. Bitcoin is the reward. Why should I have to send more just because I enjoyed their post? It's a transaction, not a favor.

MR. WHITE: It's not a transaction, it's an appreciation. You're showing gratitude.

MR. PINK: Gratitude is for family and friends. This is business. This is the internet. I'm not a grateful person when it comes to digital content. Besides, the whole zapping culture has become this weird, performative thing. People are just zapping each other in a circle, hoping to get zapped back. It’s like a digital airdrop Ponzi scheme.

MR. ORANGE: You know, I was zapped for my last meme. It felt good. It made me feel like I was contributing to the network.

MR. PINK: It's all just social signaling. It's a racket. I'm not going to be a part of it. I'm not some simp sending sats to every pleb on the Nostr protocol. I have my own private keys to protect.

MR. WHITE: (Sighs) You know what, Pink? You're a real jerk.

MR. PINK: (Smirking) Maybe. But at least I'm a jerk with a full lightning wallet. ⚡️

You better start adding 14 is going to be boring!!

It's working well I have removed some that just don't resonate.

People > Algorithms

Still new here and figuring out how to curate my feed.

I’m following pretty much everyone, because I’d rather have more voices and more content to engage with.

My theory is simple: if someone posts things I don’t like, or just spams, I’ll unfollow.

But in the meantime:

more content = more community.

Is this the right move? What have you tried?
