On spam & the dead internet theory: Unfortunately, this dilemma is all too human, and a story as long as history where all we have to do (but somehow perpetually fail at) is use the technology properly. Public key cryptography is amazing and enables us to trustlessly verify the source of content. This, at a fundamental level solves AI generated junk polluting the internet; social issues with misinformation, political propaganda, and so on. The decisions and the responsibility are ours, and we can either trust or we can verify. Nostr is the antithesis to the dead internet; it is the alive, eccentric, free and decentralized internet that I grew up with and loved. One of the beautiful things about developing on Nostr is that you have an instant network effect, where you can start to see the data for yourself, view social graphs, verify content and build webs of trust around creators and put the power back into their hands. For users too, creating the network that you want and not what Elon tells you that you want. Ultimately, freedom technology wins. Onwards ✊

Nostr is the future of communication on the internet.

Let me tell you why you're here. You know something. What you know, you can't explain. But you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. Something is wrong with the world. You don't know what, but it's there. Like a splinter in your mind... driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about? --- All I am offering you is the truth.
