In one paragraph or less, explain to a "normie" why they should use Nostr as it exists today (not taking into account future use cases yet).
Normie = non-bitcoiner, someone who hasn't been deplatformed, uses Twitter for random news/entertainment, etc
Basically, ELI5 why Nostr, why now.
5,000 sats zapped to the best answer.

Freedom from Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk
It's freedom of speech, globally.

Cause it is a social network. Twitter is better described as a self-promotion platform.
It’s kinder on the self esteem.
Deciding to use nostr for your communication is an important step on the path towards self sovereignty as it equips you 1) with the freedom to communicate with everyone in a censorship free manner and 2) the responsibility to really own your communication style and content.
get in before everyone else does
You cannot get cancelled on Nostr
winner. zapped the sats. simple and compelling.
You know how on Twitter there's a "For You" tab, and a "Trending" side bar, and tweets are all out of order, and there's all kinds of other nonsense they sneak in so you keep clicking and scrolling... so that ultimately your eyeballs see more ads?
Well, imagine if you could decide how your feed looked. Or you could choose some other way to determine what you saw. And your account wasn't controlled by one company that could shut you down arbitrarily but by a universal password that you kept to yourself.
That's Nostr.
Shoot. That's two paragraphs 🤪
