I've been using Nostr more lately
it's a significant upgrade from early 2023 when I first signed up, there is still some lag, but the progress is clear
I'm here for two reasons: first, censorship resistance
and I'm more specificly on Nostr due to social proof
plenty of people whose intelect and opinions I trust are on here
it's striking to me that nearly everyone I know seeking decentralized social media are going to Nostr and almost zero going anywhere else. why is that? is it mostly the later--choosing Nostr because others before you did? or is it mostly the former--chosing Nostr because it has better censorship resistance compared to other decentralized social media? Third option is just because Nostr has embraced Bitcoin more and my social circle is mostly bitcoiners.
curious about how Nostr came to dominate my social circle. why did you join Nostr and not a different alternative? social proof? better censorship resistance? zaps and other cool features? other?
