Hi new #nostr people,
Maybe some of you are wondering why do we need a new twitter clone? We already have farcaster, bluesky, etc?
Let me explain, so I experimented with this technology a year-ish ago. From what I understand, nostr is something different (please also correct me if I’m wrong). Nostr is similar to #bitcoin in a sense that this post and your profile and comments are saved in nodes which makes it hard for centralized entities to attack the network, because they have to 51% attack all the nodes
Why do we need this?
Well you know, you are probably here because of the #telegram issue, let me tell you, that is just the tip of the iceberg. Internet wasn’t how it used to be before big tech dominates the market, now they can just ban you and leave you hopeless
With nostr, when you have a relay node, you are the ceo of your company. You can technically ban your stalker ex gf from your relay node and poof she’s gone
Nostr gives you control over your social data, it might not be that important to you right now but it will soon be important with all the AI bots coming alive sucking all your data to learn to be you
I have big hope for nostr. Back then you couldn’t #zap and now it’s a feature. Again, it is a technology and it is growing pretty rapidly
Now you ask? How can I contribute? I have no tech skills
Well that’s the beauty of nostr, at the end of the day, nostr is a community. Think of nostr like a small commune. The most important thing is to invite people that matter to you because at the end of the day, that’s all that matters!
Leave a comment on this post after setting up your #lightning wallet, I’ll zap so you can try sending #sats to your friends risk free ⚡️⚡️
