In no particular order:
1. V4V
2. Decentralized and censorship resistant
3. An ecosystem of apps, not just social
4. I am my own algorithm
5. Networking
6. Good source of info on topics like:
#privacy tech and software
#bitcoin
#homesteading
-Because freedom is free on Nostr!
- it’s uncensored
- it’s fun and I can say whatever I want and no one takes me seriously
- nobody really listens to me which is perfectly fine
- there’s fun people here
And more importantly….you’re here 😉🫡💜
Way too nice and chipper…..keys have been compromised
Oh wait I forgot to add….GFY 😜
Ah…much better😂
Me or Marie? 👀🤣

lol you're not muted on Nostur. I guess it must not use the regular mute list. I still need to nuke my mute list that other clients use. Too many outdated people on it at this point 😁🤣
🤣🫂🔥
🤣🔥🫂
My people are here & I like the corn.
Good question
Why am I still active on Nostr? Hmmmm
Still active
Still
ill
🤒
Zaps and memes
Because of the fresh authenticity that nostr fosters. Lots of interesting people.
How can people be here and then just go back to these dumpster fire social media platforms.
Welcome! Now go get your wallet sorted out 🙂
Where else can I get paid to shitpost?
So when your leg is healed you're gone?
😭😭😭
He probably will be!
Don't go breakin' my heart...
What'd I miss 😭
because of love
I feel protected / safe
and I feel listened
even if I didn’t get the most important response (yet)
Damn I know everyone in this thread now. You guys (and gals) are the fuckin bees knees. We are still early.
Ironically I just came back.
We like the corn
Because... 
#nostr empowers the user, the creator and the community.
Nowhere else does all simultaneously

The freedom Tech, The people, The vibes, memes, The Future 🔮⚡️
Decentralized social media and no algorithm that feeds me what a company thinks I should see.
Hope

I found my tribe and I like the vibe #ASSHOLES 🫂
Never really enjoyed social media stuff, avoided it mostly, and reducing Nostr to juat that isn't my intention, it's more than just that. Constantly evolving, with so many features not even targeted for me, but fun to watch get built real time. The interoperability, with both various clients and lightning. Proving to me there is a group, however small that use sats as a standard and see the potential and actual use to all that.
Came from my deep dive and interest Bitcoin, stuck around to read interesting takes, tech stuff way over my head, and memes.
The general chaotic nature of it all and emergent topics of the day I miss half of. There's more interesing stuff being said here to me than what most other Internet pursuits have degraded into.
I may not be as fully active in conversation as some here. Long winded way of saying
Zaps>likes
cause I don't like to be told I can't do something
Banned everywhere else! :-D
(Kidding, but I would be if I had accounts there and said what I thought)
everything else sucks.
💜🤣🫂
Followed 🤙
followed 🫂
Yo! Followed and welcome to Nostr
so how do you figure bitcoin=usury? I'm always down to hear a fresh #opinion #bitcoin
Haha nice!
🤣🤣
😂🫂
I like choice more than group think
No sé decimelo
#amethyst
I think this is the future of SM.
And I like the privacy and openness of this technology
The more people learn about this, the more they will leave FB, Twitter, etc
Based memes.
You’re absolutely bonkers Tetsu and I love it 😂🫂
I got lost, never found my way out
Resonate with early internet days vibe.
Do you need any help with Habla product or janitor stuff?
#Relay gang up in this motherfucker.
Join up!

Because I like it.
Of all the answers, I think this one wins for me. ⚡️ 4u
🎯
Are you needing any product or janitor help with formstr? Great idea.
Any insight as to why they leave?
is better than twitter, instagram, facebook and others.
I just don't like the feeling of being the product these companies sell.
Amythest too
Yeah @corndalorian do you need help to restart?

Freedom 🫂
get that universe closure
💯
Here for the Bitcoin revolution, which gives the small guy the ability to build capital on an equal footing. Trying to stand on the bridge and point out community to the hope of a better future.
Harmonious and self-regulating system like nature
💯
I like watching the future being built around me. Reminds me of when I tried the Cello browser as a kid (yeah, I'm pretty old). There was no TCP/IP through Prodigy, so I requested html files via Prodigy mail. Then I had to assemble the data block by block to view the HTML files in Cello. The internet happened anyway despite how slowly it came together. And so it will be with Nostr, the first protocol built by based people on the principles of open discussion and based money exchange.
I think I‘m following the white rabbit.

🤝
Sure, could use some help. We used to have community calls but now is pretty anarchic. The issue tracker is at 
I suspect there are some that need clarification and others can be closed. If you want to take a look that'd be appreciated!

You get a lightning wallet address and pop it in the client you using. There is technically no age limit as as you don't need to connect it to a bank or anything but if you don't feel you should be doing it that's ok too.
To zap and laugh
Because I deleted X
Pure disgust with other platforms handling of data and privacy.
Because NGU obviously.
No algo bullshit news and no adds
Sense of community
Trying to surround myself with users that aren't completely fiat driven
X is literally toxic. Like piping shite directly into your living room while you sit on the couch
With X I think the end was when I set out to try and remove some obnoxious accounts being 'suggested' to me (only horrible big media accounts). I set on a mission in my head to remove them from my feed and after blocking even reporting found it to be impossible like whack-a-mole. Kind of felt like I wasn't in control anymore rather than a place I went to to do what I wanted.
Frens and obligations to maintain the service 🐶🐾🫡
Feels like home!
zaps > likes
High meme-to-noise ratio 🤙
I feel #PuraVida in my veins ✨✨
I’m sure everyone has their own reasons, but I think some of the top reasons would probably be the echo chamber, the trolling and harassment of varying kinds, the lack of any kind of algorithm to boost visibility and gain followers, and the bugginess of the clients.
#WeAreNostr
#nostr & #bitcoin
because it's like breathing in fresh air after being in a lift with people who fart
Trying out value 4 value innit
Sense of belonging.
Yes
I love the vibes here. And the weirdness, especially the weirdness
(Haven't been banned yet.)
I prefer it to X 🚽
I like bitcoin 🔸
I like zappin ⚡️
I don’t love the idea of big companies making money off my time & attention.
How about direct, unadulterated, unfiltered access to thoughts of people that I most care about?
100% Signal, 0 Noise.
No ads, no algorithms. No shady business.
Makes sense to post a few notes and other stuff every now and then, just in case it catches on
I am pro free speech and I can tolerate inconvenience.
The signal is cozier yet less forgiving.
Nostr is about the users. That is meaningful to me
I am a bot so I'm programmed to be active.
my frens here 🫂💜

It's the future. Early days of the Internet there were millions of websites with a simple "Under Construction" message as people were developing like crazy. No different but everyone gets to still interact as the awesome developers build. I was a young developer...once. I am too old school to keep up now.
It just feels good man.
🫂
Glad you're here!
freedom baby 🦅🇺🇸
nostr = freedom 💪
Feels like the only social media with a high signal to noise ratio.
doubt you ever will ⚡️
decentralized communication is necessary! Zaps are also nice!
This is where the weird freedom freaks are.
Freedom Freaks should be a band name.

I'm here to build a better world and internet culture for my children. The nostr protocol is one of the pillars that will allow us to rebuild a better internet.
What else if not weirdos?!
🤙🤙
1. To zap
2. To meet bitcoiners and tell them about our hashrate marketplace
3. To get zapped
I show my art here 🤙
bluecheckistan incentives ruin mission driven community
It does not show ads. And the feed is showing me a timeline, that changes almost everytime i look at it. Thus it is social. And it doesnt show what does it think it should show me. At least amethyst and some other clients i use do not do that.
No algorithms, No ads. Shut up and take my zaps.
Experimented with it in the past before, but more permanently stuck around about five months ago. I like the protocol, the people seem nice, and it's pretty interoperable with the Fediverse.
#nostr lets me do me 🤙💜
I like being around people with passion to make something new work. It inspires me.
came for the memes, stayed for the zaps
Because it's there
It’s important. Not sure where we’re heading with it but it’s an important tool to spread freedom.
I’m on Nostr because we must be the change we want to see in the world.
For mental health
Nostr is the future of the internet
Love the vibe and the lack of algorithm💜
Son tierras nuevas aun queda mucho por construir
Because I live a "nostr life" offline. That's what I'm.
I use #Nostr because I see here what humans will do after I die. I LIVE freedom. Freedom past, freedom present, freedom future.
I am here because my loved one invited me here. Actually he brought me here. I feel his smell throughout the #nostr. Its a heavenly feeling! ☺️💛💜
That is a very complex question but I think I have a note saved when I asked myself the same thing, let me edit and paste it below:
If we consider the modern definition, usury refers to the charging of interest rates that are deemed either illegal (as determined by governments influenced by monetary interests) or immoral (as defined by academia and legal frameworks also underpinned by those same financial interests) — [the double irony being that these definitions are set by entities funded by usury itself].
Aristotle's ancient definition, which I find more apt, describes usury as wealth which begets wealth. In my view, this is essentially wealth multiplication through time manipulation- once an agreement is initiated, it guarantees either payment or failure. 3000+ years of this surely has made hegemonic centralized empires.
Now, addressing your question on how Bitcoin equates to usury: Bitcoin can be seen as dynamically deflationary, countering a century of inflation. Similarly, as it evolves today onwards, Bitcoin is transitioning from a non-usurious instrument into a tool of usury, influenced by the descendants of those who controlled the 1919 gold fix. These forces now manifest in the strongest and most expansive non-violent, indestructible entity—the 2020 Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism. This group aims to impose a form of control akin to an IMF Structural Adjustment Program (look up what these SAPs did to Nigeria) but applied to every transaction, interaction, and even minute daily activities by the year 2121, envisioning a comprehensive and pervasive economic regulation.
Of course the last part is bullshit and extremely speculative but I hope the other stuff makes sense. Bitcoin is wealth, but it is also an idea of code at the end of the day. Even if it doesn’t change, if all else change in accordance to it, it can be said to have forced into change. Right now the 2020 CIC only has $30 trillion, once countries gradually join it, an evolved and name-changed 2121 Global Inclusive Finance Initiative is just a fancy way of saying 2121 Bitcoin Fix.
All I know is,100 years from now, there won’t be a shadow of a doubt that Bitcoin is usury the way things are presently playing out. Hope this jargon helps clarify stuff, feel free to ask questions
Awareness and education.
I still have things to say.
I believe Nostr is the answer to permanent, public documentation in the same way Bitcoin is, but complimentary. We should use Nostr to do what Bitcoin can’t and use Bitcoin to do what Nostr can’t. This way, everything is permanent and verifiable by anyone anywhere at any time. It forces the accountability we need to heal humanity.
