cos everything else literally sucks
To help nostr grow ✨️
interested.
also, banned from x.
It's fun and I enjoy being a part of something that I think is important and will make the world better. Also want to help it grow
Because once I saw what was possible here I couldn’t unsee it.
Why would you say it’s important? How will it make the world better?
I love Nostr because it’s not just a protocol—it’s open ground.
No need to please an algorithm here, just be real.
It’s the first place where my art met real people, and real value.
🤙⚡️🎨
No clue. Just kinda ended up here.
Could live without it. 🤷
The vibes, with a side of truth.
The ability to express the absolute truth, with no ability to blanket silence.
We are the voice of the world.
One of the tools of bringing down the government
X suspended my account, claiming that I am an "inauthentic user".
The suspension came shortly after 2 things:
I blocked a bunch of XRP people, especially the blue checks.
I made a discovery about how the ancient Egyptians were really using sarcophagi and excitedly spammed a bunch of friends via DMs so they would see the thread I'd just posted about it.
That makes me inauthentic apparently.
It's the best Town square off the internet.
Because a platform entirely populated by a handful of defiant-oppositional-disorder curmudgeons who talk about Jesus and steak and bitcoin sounded heavenly.
Apps can’t ban me nor nor users block me
To see how it evolves. Where does it want to go and how? And if possible, why not, also to meet interesting people with the same passions as me...
Y @PABLOF7z wdyt */*ya v4v+p2p+*B*/idk
It's important to allow people to expresses themselves and their thoughts and engage with others in an open way free of censorship from governments and companies.
Perhaps equally important is that everyone has the choice to follow and interact with whoever they desire, and likewise do the inverse. People are free to create their own experience.
It'll make the world better by giving people the ability to freely interact and exchange ideas, thoughts, and value. As well as giving everyone their own unique platform.
@kukks forced me at gunpoint to create an nsec
Every thing else is gayyyyueeeee
I literally had a dream about nostr. Took me a year to understand what was it about.
Seems to be the easiest way to find the highest concentration of interesting + intelligent people on the internet. Nostr feels like the beginning of something that could be really consequential (but I don’t know what it will look like).
And Bitcoin. I came out of social media exile for it…we will see if the juice is worth the squeeze
To get paid to shitpost, duh
Fake and gay
My first post contained an offensive racial slur, just as litmus test to see if I could get banned.
Because you fools let me in 😝🥰
Gm.
I’m on Nostr because I wanted a voice they couldn’t silence.
I stayed because I found people who actually think.
And most importantly, I love all the weirdos here.

to shake my Dik n Drink some RUM
Because a bitcoin influencer told me it was cool.
I stayed because it actually was.
I don’t like using social media that is designed to take as much of my time & attention as possible.
Freedom and the easy tool to build apps.
I'm here to earn satoshis, but no adverts and great music also make it a very nice place
Much lower proportion of retards here ... which I like!
😂😂
For the PV. But mostly to annoy @Derek Ross as much as possible.
If I don’t log on, I can’t see what everyone is building. 🤷♀️ nostr life moves fast, if you blink, you might miss it.
Because some interesting people are on here
* To be witness to the death of the old system and the life of a new one.
* To learn from teachers, creators, and others the practical implementation of developing habits for the protocol.
* To eventually give back to the freedom community and beyond.
Because people here want to make the world better. Most interaction anywhere else online is nihilistic and egotistical. And I think people should have the right to speak without judgment or censorship.
Nostr does free speech better than anyone, but it will also do free trade better than anyone too.
because I can

Your nsec was just waiting for you to discover it
Freedom, its edge technology, being insanely dynamic, censorship resistant, and a bunch of other reasons.
To find out when 0.10 sat/vb transactions became a thing
I was told we're all getting girlfriends 🤷♂️
I deleted everything else. I have no where else to go.
To read more from Gigi :)
Censorship resistance and my peeps are here
Hang with the ride or dies
For the scintillating company - oh and I got banned from reddit and I heard Nostr has very low standards when it comes to who can and can't join.
I like that Nostr is just an open protocol.
It means that I can embed my Nostr posts on my personal website to use in a blog section.
Unfortunately, Nostr lacks many of the features my friends and family expect from a social media, so I don’t expect to see them on here.
Nostr’s shortcomings are of course just due to the decentralized nature of relays, which makes it basically impossible to add unlike functionality, stories that gets hidden after 24 hours, and stuff like that.
Not things I really care about, but the people I know personally, they absolutely care about these things.
What started out as supporting the fight against censorship has turned into having my mind blown nearly every day by what's possible.
Because it rocks and zaps!
I hate being profit to big companies who wanted to manipulate my emotions and farm my data. I deleted everything and found myself here after searching for alternatives. Then I got orange pilled. 🧡
I value decentralized censorship resistant communications with permissionless zaps.
Freedom
really into signing json
1. I like to be reminded every day and often 2-3 times a day how cool "the Nostr" is.
2. I like to read people telling me to keep stacking.
Not really sure which is the main reason so pick one🙂
Because I just can.. without an ID, or email or whatever.
Because it’s cool.
Because I just can.. without an ID, or email or whatever.
I am just hear to read all the posts about how cool NOSTR is and ostriches, lots of em.
Because I’d rather shout into the void of freedom than whisper in the cage of control.
Because I do what I want.
I love echo chambers and decentralized stuff.
To hopefully connect with other bitcoiners and maybe even someday be able to leave my fiat job behind 👊
shitpost and chew gum
i'm all out of gum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
freedom bro, freedom.
Because fuck them!
Beacuse of #zaps.⚡️
If I like it, I zap it. Simple. Fair. Content I like sats they earn. That's clean. Best biz model: value for value. Zap. No ads. Just zaps. That's how it should be. You post, I zap. Everyone wins.
#Zaps > likes. Real support, real value.
Because I don't want no one to own my digital identity
I checked out of social media. Never been on Twitter. Had an account on Instagram added some crypto accounts and suddenly was being targeted by scammers. I just see it as the future of social medias and I come here for news and catching up on social media stuff. Personal life i use Whatsapp and signal
Seeing people building great things gives me a flicker of hope in the dystopian darkness of the YooKay
because people are actually taking action instead of just complaining or philosophizing about our broken internet
I want to become a billionaire just by shitposting.
I live in Nottinghamshire. We used to fight for our freedom. Now we have NOSTR
Because no one can stop me.
I own my online identity. I own my content.
With nostr I have a voice!
Easier to be really anonymous. On Facebook/Twitter, I was always angry probably because of the algorithm. It's more healthy.
🎯
I truly believe freedom tech is humanity’s greatest tool/weapon for preserving our future.
I’m not a technical person but critical thinking and logic helps me navigate this space - bitcoin, AI, cryptography, drones/robotics , etc…and NOSTR are all on the frontlines of this open source revolution.
Building to be sovereign is the goal
Because it’s the future I want.
Cause I can freely call @PABLOF7z an wiener gobbler.
¡Estoy en Nostr porque los zaps son mi plan de jubilación anticipado! ⚡️
😜🤑😜
Heard of it from other bitcoiners. I used to have an account on X, but being on here gave me real attention. Even if its just one per post.
Interesting approach... Probably a better system than the rest. Let's see.
Why not?

To learn about bitcoin
It's a cool space man good people here a few bad apples but hey , mostly great engagement.. hope you stick around 🍺
Because you can help people by introducing them to Bitcoiners who zap value for value. Nostr is a great place for finding those connections and facilitating financial opportunities
That's a powerful thing , most will write this off and that's unfortunate.. but the engagement here is superior and when I respond or write a post I feel like it's actually going to be seen ... On X full of bots and ungrateful influencers my thoughts and engagement was nothing... Trash 🗑️ them .... Zero response and engagement.
Here you meet real people and create great things I've made so many friends here that have flourished beyond Nostr and I can't think Nostr ( primal for me ) I think PRIMAL is the best personally... So much for what they have given to me ... The opportunity to create great things and build relationships.
PRIMAL ( NOSTR ) THANK YOU FIR ALL YOU HAVE DONE ✅
Why are you at home
I wanted to join another cult
Sick of paying the world’s richest man for > 3 likes?
Because I had the opportunity to discover it and fell in love with the protocol and its possibilities.
The people using it and building on it are the best.
Finally, the future is now and being slowly distributed.
the #nostr is on me, and i love it!
decentralized social media. most users are more genuine.
Cause' I am waiting for Olas 1.0 😅🌊
nostr is the only social media that’s good for my mind and mental health.
nostr is an open protocol and not a parasite-platform.
nostr is free from advertisements.
You can choose your own algorithm.
The ride and die freaks are on nostr, and not on X.
Uh, what was ur username before. I dont know who this is.
Corndalarion?
Community, Bitcoin, Sovereignty, Freedom ✨
Bathing in this truly alive, raw & freedom-loving ocean of critical movers and shakers. Nostr is the only invigorating online social I‘ve ever come across ✨🗽🙏
1) freedom of speech
2) freedom of transaction
3) free from Big Brother manipulation
Zaps and signal
Signal & hope ⚡️
So I don't get shadow banned for promoting open source privacy tools like 🕶️

SATs & Freedom
It’s helping me wean off social media since it’s more boring than Twitter. I get my fix but spend far less time scrolling. and of course I highly value the freedom of speech and bitcoin aspects
I came here for the GMs I stayed for the PV
EU censorship and 1984 vibe in Germany coming in as well as detoX.
because John has a long mustache.
Its the most immune to censorship.
Free porn 😂
Not until the next bull cycle
But seriously, It's because I'm building the future that I want to live in.
We are The music Makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.
I guess you are again admitting to your addiction! You seem very proud! Porn addiction kills REAL relationships!!!😂
I was blocked by facebook, so I looked for a solution to continue sharing my videos and photos while still having access to other people's content that interests me.
And I discovered Nostr, the decentralized and pro-BTC aspects appealed to me.
I only joined Primal a few days ago. I'm just discovering the Nostr universe.
Many of the discussions are too technical for me, but some projects are advanced enough to pique my interest, and I really like what I'm discovering.
The reception on Nostr has been much better than I expected, with lots of advice, thank you all!
Now, I'd like to convince my friends and family and other users to join us (users from instagram and Reddit), but it's harder than I thought.
I have no idea what's going on, but I'm super happy to be apart of it 😊

There is an ostrich culling happening in canada at Universal Ostrich Farm. 400 birds condemned to death
