What makes someone stay on nostr?

Iβm finally feeling like Iβm finding a bit of an enjoyable flow here, though this place does have quite a steep learning curve
Serious question, or are you complaining about not being zapped?
Curious what the make or break point is for other people, vs those who come and go
Come for the #zaps, stay for the community
Very simple, freedom.

I like the chill laidbackness of nostr. Maybe folks will come around to enjoying the wide range of randomness I post haha plus there is still that relay idea I wanted to get your thoughts on π
Oh! Iβm actually curious to hear it! βΊοΈ
Human Connection that actually feels like hanging out if that makes sense.
Came for curosity and information but active and engaging because of people
May I DM you? π
love love love this βΊοΈπ«Ά
Yes β€οΈπ«Ά
I've been here for almost a year. I love the energy here. Huge fan of Bitcoin. I find like minded people here with ease.
Nostr is also a unique beast, like Bitcoin, in that it is freedom tech. We need both!
You can't convince me to go back to normie land.

I would echo @SGT.FISH here and say the people who stay find genuine conversation and people who want to engage without content farming or intent
Similar to communities I found on telegram previously, you can actually tell when people care that you log in every day
Unfortunately I agree that starting out is tough if you donβt already have people to follow. I felt that
Its All the positive talk about humanity for me zaps are just a bonus
I would say it's about the community and the hope for better internet/future.
Nostr feels positive in an internet filled with doom scrolling.
For now it feels like something special is being built here that truly has the opportunity to make free speech a reality for the world
Freedom. Positivity. Building. Zaps.

I'd say the interactions with other like minded π people #BTC #Nostr #Freedom
Zaps certainly help π to build on what I said previously of course
People like yourself
You gotta be a person who likes to learn new things. Who enjoys exploring new stuff. Those who don't have that, they won't stay on nostr for long.
I think that's the make it or breake it point.
The feeling one cannot get his account rugpulled
The community seems quite strong
Freedom, Fulfillment, Release and Appreciation of using Bitcoin as real money to pass on value to value.
Positivity of the people here. No one is here because of some network effect I guess...
Everyone wants to be here for certain reasons and it is a great community.
Takes some time build it up, but I don't want to go back anymore.
There was so much attention seeking, violence and negative news scrolling my Twitter feed I don't know where it came from. This is again a place to put out your thoughts, discuss and share ideas.
Have nothing to lose.
Everything everyone else has said + titties.
A good amount of the content I'm looking for is accessible here now and I see the potential bright future of the protocol and want to be here to help see it grow.
Freedom, building and much better engagement here with real people than any other place by far.
Seeing its potential unfold (albeit slowly)
I am working it out. But thanks to people like you I am hanging inππ½
freedom, friendship, forming the future β

π you always make me laugh haha
Receiving their first zap
Having interaction with different people
Shitposting
Iβve been a bitcoiner for a while, and used it as the most incredible store of value ever created. But Nostr showed me that Bitcoin is also an incredible medium of exchange, which I knew, but never experienced before.
Also, Nostr gives me me open access to whatever the incredible devs building here cook up. One key, and my social graph follows me wherever I go. Never going back to traditional social media. Deleted my FB and only use twitter at this point as a way to purple pill more users. Glad you are here!

Trying to disrupt the centralization honey !!! I donβt even use zaps β‘οΈ π
Itβs hard to put into words but I feel like Iβm being myself here rather than βan accountβ elsewhere
Bc fuck big techs and their walled gardens, the tech and concept is good and has a lot of potential, also bc there is no algo ppl are more genuine.
nostalgia of the 90s message boards
For me, it helps that I've been banned for life from TwitterX. People should try that.
omggg hehe

your notes π

1. interactions (no matter what)
2. finding interesting content
3. getting zapped
community
Yeah well you make me have an involuntary physical reaction too.
True people and pura vida.
Omg xD
You π«

if you want an outsider to join you where you at, then they can join very easily. I joined here in minutes, shocked how easy it was. no email and phone required. Your outside readers will find you accessible. The world will see you. my email/phone is too centralized with social medias will keep going in circles. I WANT OUT!
I like innovating decentralized freedom technology and the community.
the vibe
the people
the lack of toxicity
the quality of the content
... and foodstr
Did you whitness the Beard/Bread situation last night? This. And, exactly this.
Nostr is fun, entertaining. You can do what you want - mute the bots, like and repost as much as you wish without any limits or restrictions (aside from connection limits by relays, which is understandable). The interactions on here are actually meaningful because they are not algorythmicaly driven - in fact, there is no algorythmn here. The fact that the bread/beard situation got so big for a solid 20 minutes-ish was purely organic and mad fun!
So yeah, that's why. =)
the good vibes
Everywhere else is awful.
for me it's being close to people moving forward this technology. This is what should have been to live in the early days of the internet. A lot of different initiatives trying to shape the future!
There are two aspects for me. The first is it is free speech technology that has traction, and the second is the people I'm connecting with. I still use Facebook occasionally because there I'm connected to people I know in real life. I have not met any of my Nostr contacts yet, so in that way, I'm using it in a similar way to how I used to use Twitter, which I seldom look at now.
When you realize what FB/X/IG is doing to your mind.
It's like when you realize that refined sugar can destroy your body, you don't go back.
it's amazing! make sure to try primal.net
Users from different backgrounds who all think that centralized power = bad for both the financial systems as well as social media. Those users prefer to use dialogue instead of debate here. It's way less toxic and thus emotionally draining than f.e. twitter/X
Free speech and not being a mental and emotional slave to algorithms
Not the main reason, but not having ads is nice.
I work on decentralised social networks, and this one is interesting, even if it seems a bit early days. #Mastodon has problems and Twitter though much better than before still throttles posts and could easily change completely.
