I love Nostr because it's one of the few tech-forward places without any VCs lmao all the startups I see on here are posting with their customers in mind and without trying to "signal" to potential investors it's such a breath of fresh air

Everyday I see posts where the author is complaining about problems decentralized protocols like #Nostr solve. Corporate incentives do not align with what creators and writers truly need: - full autonomy over their content (owned by the creator) - p2p transactions (direct payments) - free speech (let me post what I want) - no opaque algorithms (show the content I subscribe to) IMO, we need to be educating people OFF of Nostr more than we currently are

Have used #nostr and #primal for only 24 hours now and think the greatest probability of this gaining distribution will be through a series of unfortunate events Most don't *feel* the need/aren't incentivized to use technology like this because they haven't been the victim of de-platforming or don't believe they live in a country where ownership is necessary and censorship affects them Majority of notes I've seen so far are crypto-related or very technical, which is not appealing to the broad majority. This is ok btw, it's not a bad thing, it's who this technology appeals to I do however see nostr becoming much larger soon - not out of interest - but out of necessity (which is not good)

The web is shifting from platforms back to protocols and the next Google won’t crawl websites, it’ll index data created across these networks
