Something I really appreciate about Nostr vs. other social media experiences is that I actually feel like I get some level of engagement here.
I don't get much on platforms like X because I refuse to be inauthentic and phony, playing the algorithmic game, entering subscription slavery and KYCing to receive payouts.
On Nostr, I don't have to do any of that. I can simply post what's on my mind, have a fun time, and still get a decent amount of organic engagement and occasional payout because of zaps.
I really love it here. #nostr #nostrcommunity #socialmedia #sovereign #zaps
