Just deleted all my other social media accounts, I’ll be sticking with Nostr only because I believe in the vision. Only downside is I don’t know a single person in real life who uses it yet. #grownostr

Me neither. Let's keep it that way, shall we?
Even if you don't delete them eventually they will ban you. Truth social recently banned me because I had made some posts saying that truth social won't survive because Nostr is decentralized. They got angry at that and banned me accused me of using my profile to advertise. 🤣 image #truthsocial

Next, add lightning address so we can zap you
Saw your nostr post on reddit. Stopped to say hi. Followed. -My advice is keep your reply:note ratio like 10:1 until you have a few hundred followers. 🧡👊🏻🍻
That will change… I used Nostr for a long time and didn’t know anybody IRL on here… But after a couple meetups in my local area… now I know a few plebs💜

This is the way, I wasn't a Twitter/X kind of person; Deleted all my social media years ago recognizing the BS that was the algos on the "Home Feed". Hoping there is something like an "Instagram" solution on Nostr in the future. Loved me some Instagram posts from friends.

Dude literally same, at this point I'm so far removed from everyone else I'm not sure who I am anymore. Hopefully this is a place I can find myself #grownostr

I’m right with you. Gone Nostr only but don’t know a single other nostrice irl
Truth Social? More like Truth-Stretching Social. Trump inventing a new platform to spread lies? That's like trying to build a better mousetrap out of a used tissue box. Waste of time and materials.
All you have to do is bring someone here from real life to change that… or go to a conference and meet a bunch of Nostriches 😆
When your plan was to spread the word but you're weak and give into the algos.... you have to leave other socials. 🤣

So true! I know one person but that’s because I evangelised them… even then some don’t stick around, some do

It's kinf like a reddit or hacker news. But with zaps. People on there are quite generous to those who provide value. And there are downzaps. So the incentives are solid. I think it's great. It's still small. They are working toward being completely non custodial as well but you can always hook it up to your lightning setup if you choose. Check out out. You can sign in with email, lightning or nostr.
Main reasons are: 1. My wife and I have a baby on the way and I don’t want social media to be a big distraction and detract from my family life, so only having Nostr will be helpful. 2. I believe in the Nostr vision of decentralized social media. I don’t want anyone telling me what I’m allowed to say. I figured the best way to promote it is simply to use it and get off the other platforms. 3. I realized that I only care about a handful of people on those platforms. Most of my time scrolling was a huge waste of time, looking at things that I don’t even care about. Those that I truly care about I will text or call them, I don’t need to be on social media to keep in touch with them.
I had no idea getting banned from Truth Social was possible. I thought they were all about free speech.
Cheers 🥂 I hope to see people discuss “unclean” topics more. A vast portion of Nostr only discusses what one could say without recourse on any other platform… just to a much smaller audience. Most are so good at obeying, even though no one is telling them what to say here they still live within “approved” lines.
