A great article by YakiHonne focusing on Online Freedom (some practical red flags to keep an eye out for).
I'm pretty new to #nostr but felt for some time I needed more freedom, I even recently published my first ever article on my journey towards great personal freedom to document some basic steps I've taken so far.
I'm so glad this space and the technology exists 🙏 💜

I'm somewhere between the clouds and the ground. Much of this doesnt make sense. Dad. Objective learner. Relative numpty. Subjective yes. Absolute always.
Notes (12)
Morning nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q - the Back button when inside a thread - any chance this can just go back one step per click?
Back button (in client) goes back to the top of the thread.
Back button (on phone, Android) goes all the way back to main feed.
I'm just nit-picking, best client out there 👌
Up early, the house is quiet, nice cuppa and some essential reading.
This is my second time, as it takes a while to reframe your perspective and understanding. The first reading just didn't land, it was too different to anything I had previously read.
Ultimately its going to need a third read (tbh I think I'll be forever rereading it) to really tackle and fully understand what I see as its core principle: truth.

🎄 Day 7: Day 7: Client Diversity
📝 Once I figured this out, that I could move clients, that my profile and keys were the......key, it totally changed my perspective on how nostr operates in comparison to mainstream social platforms. You gotta love nostr.
📚 Learn:
Nostr's open protocol enables a diverse ecosystem of clients. From mobile apps like Damus and Amethyst to web clients like Primal and Snort, each offers unique features and interfaces. This diversity means you're never locked into one app. Switch clients anytime while keeping your same identity and data across all of them.

nostr OG 🙏💜✌️ nostr:note1qlzgjx9939ljm6t02agj623rxr3fn2prnxwrh2v4qxwramwed75slvngjp
Hey nostr:npub14ya7n7czu3kyq3m2sn6kjawmtq6ll6kerrlm90gz9yzfjmflmsxq8dsn39 / nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q - it's happened again, and I've not touched anything (honestly dad it wasn't me 🤣).
The only relay still in my list is fountain.fm. I'll reinstate the others and ditch fountain, as I guess it's bumping the others somehow.
Happy to assist if I can help this be solved. nostr:note1ts8mzdz99nvm38u2d0pfftp24pmsjmaashhmvgvvsfmemc3um2eqxefrsu
🎄 Day 6: Day 6: Zaps ⚡
📝 Without intermediaries ⚡️
📚 Learn:
Zaps are Lightning payments sent directly through Nostr. With a single click, you can send sats to support creators, tip for great content, or reward helpful replies. Zaps include optional comments and are instantly visible. They're the native monetization mechanism of Nostr, enabling a value-for-value economy without intermediaries or platform fees.

🎄 Day 5: Day 5: Lightning Network Integration
📝 Zaps and zapping are just great, immediate valued appreciation!
📚 Learn:
Nostr integrates seamlessly with Bitcoin's Lightning Network for instant micropayments. Lightning addresses (like user@domain.com) enable direct payments without on-chain fees. This integration powers zaps, allowing you to send value instantly to support creators. Lightning makes Nostr a true value-for-value network where content creators can monetize directly.

How I ended up on nostr and started to claw back my freedom nostr:note1030cekwv9lwdrgnzxcpar7kvvrumnhu6cfm4mkdrfhh5zxk38m3ss72mur
Here's my first ever published article. I am no writer (or am I?).
I'm putting myself out there to be criticised, to improve what I know, to improve how I write, how I can communicate more effectively.
Let me know your thoughts, I'm here to learn.

🎄 Day 4: Day 4: NIPs - Nostr Implementation Possibilities
📝 Ah NIPs, that's what they are.
Also, big up @yakihonne - a great nostr client
📚 Learn:
NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities) are proposals that extend the protocol's capabilities. From basic text notes (NIP-01) to Lightning zaps (NIP-57) and encrypted messages (NIP-04), NIPs document how features work. Anyone can propose a NIP, and the community decides what gets adopted. This open process drives innovation.

#NostrAdvent2025
Morning. Thought for the day: nostr (this social version) goes mainstream, and proves it works at scale - where else can it become the norm as way of a decentralised architecture?
(I think in my head I'm confusing it and misunderstanding it with blockchain technology - or are the two essential bedfellows?).
