Nostr is freedom, big tech is slavery. it’s simple.

Nostr is social media methadone to X's heroin.

Hmm. It is less engaging (true), and thus you log in less often - and will miss a lot of posts, potentially some of the (few) really interesting ones. I would love a For You algo feed on Nostr, then i can literally just check every few days and check what I missed

Exactly. Most shit on X has 0 signal and is filled with mind fuck but Nostr is still fairly new compared to X so lets see how thigs will go in 5 years.

I dunno. Twitter just feels more of the same Nostr is better because of the people

I understand that and I can feel it. but there are some accounts / identities here spamming my feed with unfunny memes and bots. it kinda is annoying a little. don’t know how to block or mute them (i tried to mute with Primal, but so far the effect wasn’t great)

When freedom fades, resistance begins. Nostr and Bitcoin are the revolution.

A more slow time preference to online engagement.

This is exactly what I do. I scroll what’s been trending the last 12 24 hours then go about my day

The biggest disadvantage of nostr is that there are no mass brawls like on X.

You feel different And that user experience brings me back every time I’m able to have multiple high-quality in-depth conversations with people all around the world simultaneously whenever I choose throughout the day Incredible experience

A good client can improve this problem, such as introducing categories such as trending and hot。 一个好的客户端可以改善这个问题，比如引入trending和hot这种分类

Neat!

Exactly. Nostr’s lack of engagement traps is a strength, not a flaw. No endless doomscrolling or corporate dopamine hits. Just quick, mindful check-in with real thoughts, then back to living 😃

This is how I'm using it more lately, like checking in with family when I feel like it lol. A global family chat. View quoted note →

You have more times to do the job you supposed to do . Build or create something or go to work if you’re government employee

Very true!

This really is true. Nostr is just engaging enough, but like nutritious food, you can put it down before you feel sick. Advertising-driven revenue begets algorithms which are designed to hook you. Zaps aren't just a good way to incentivize contributions to the network, they're the only way to build an internet that isn't poisoning you. View quoted note →

So true, engineered to be non toxic to the mind. View quoted note →

Don’t learn that Nostr is quiet by design. It doesn’t beg for your attention. It doesn’t hijack your emotions. It gives you space — to think, to breathe, to act. That’s what freedom feels like. #nostr https://dontlearnbitcoin.org

I think this is what I failed to realize at first about nostr... I was expecting to experience a similar "attention grab" like Twitter, but it's just not there. Refreshing!

I also miss the announcements! Why is it that there are no ads, if anyone can post?
