I just realized my comment came across a lot more aggressive than I meant- my apologies, fren.

The people here are some of the most amazing people on planet earth, you’ll see ❤️

It's ok. Humans are always disappointing, so I couldn't expect less.

For those that are new to Nostr, hello!

What’s cool about it is that Nostr it is an open source protocol. It is not a centralized company, but rather is a protocol that individuals and companies can build upon.

This means that you can use many different applications to access it, or even build your own. And it means that there is no central authority that can take down posts or delete accounts; there are different servers operated by different entities that are storing the data. And there is no central algorithm for determining what posts people see or don’t see.

You can hook up a bitcoin lightning wallet to send and receive tips (“zaps”) on posts. Nostr itself is not a blockchain or crypto and has no token, but the Bitcoin blockchain does complement it well via zaps.

Nostr is still relatively small, and a bit rough around the edges. But the community here is great, and familiarizing yourself with the technology and concept is useful in a world of centralized social media. It is a new method of decentralization that balances various trade-offs in a novel way, and the protocol can be used for a lot more than just social media.

Welcome!

Do you need to pay for a transaction to open a LN channel and access a LN wallet?

How do you know? You haven’t even tried to post a thing! 🧐

How do you know? I could have had another account, or countless other, since it's very easy to create an account, compared to Twitter.

Hi Nostr!

My name is Haldis, and I’m @dirtybee.co and @haldisinwonderland over on TikTok. #introductions

I’ve never really been into FB and deleted Instagram as soon as they got bought. TikTok and Pinterest have been my only social media Platforms…until today. 🤗

Like many newcomers today, I stumbled upon the viral video nostr:npub1r8wdfruydenz84fxfespcswuhcvyatx6umtd5xguexup49u500xskf50hn posted, and I’m thrilled such a fantastic protocol exists.

I’m a late-in-life diagnosed PDA AuDHDr, and my special interests are #honeybees, #flowhive, and AI - I know, I know…my guilt hits me in the gut with every prompt.

I mostly use social media to share my tips and tricks on #beekeeping, learn more about my brain (PDA ASD ADHD), ancient history, witchy, woo woo, the universe, gossip and craft ideas. #wherethefiskatemiddleton

I take care of lots of living things and anthropomorphize everything else. I'm super nerdy. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and cosplay is rad.

Not sure what to expect with Nostr, but it’s fun to learn new things. ☀️

If you have a dedicated GPU, try Ollama.

Hi I’m Brandon and here’s a little about me.

1) Yes that’s my wife, not sure how I got that lucky

2) We have 5 kids together, and my favorite saying is, “Yeah can’t keep my wife off of me,” even though that’s about 99% inaccurate.

3) I’m a Veteran

4) Currently in school for Sonography, even though I feel way too old for a new career.

5) I’m addicted to saving recipes that I convince myself that I will use, only to buy the same groceries that I’ve been buying for the past 10 years.

6) Love watching UFC, not so much paying for it.

7) My biggest fear is the Mark of the Beast and if I’ll be able to know what it is, and resist it.

Ok that’s enough

How did your note get 46 comments and some audience? If I were to write the same nobody would ever see it. Just curious how the world works and social networks. Feels like everything is fake, stage and/or paid for.
