Mason James Berube

My name is Mason Berube. I come from the pristine lands of Minnesota in North America. I hardly use computers/internet/phones anymore... but when I do, I choose Nostr, Bitcoin and a decentralized platform.

I'm always looking to meet awesome people in real life. If you're looking to meet up, give me a holler.

I love slow mornings, warm drinks, local food, reading books, studying, traveling, learning, exploring, adventuring, farmers markets, farms, new views.

What is social media's function and purpose? I am still questioning...

I'm so thankful that people are working to build new systems all across the different sectors of tech, ag, farming, education, etc, etc, etc... thank you people who are taking a stand for your sovereignty. Thank you people for being in your power. Thanks Primal team for your diligent work. It's a good day.

A good little share by Catherine Austin Fitts. I saw her in person on a North American tour. Amazing soul with incredible messages and quite the life story. It's a short watch, a good reminder. Cheers family.

Amazing read. Tells a lot about how I've been feeling about the internet... down to the details of these feelings I've been having. Thank you for sharing. Powerful message. The internet is indeed dead. It is built on dead technology. Must navigate it as such. The real world is the real world. This post is posted in artificial reality. It comes from a source of truth but is being transmitted via dead technology.

Lol! Hahahaha, this is hilarious.

Alcohol, liquor, beer when sold and consumed in the commercial fashion often times contribute to loss of consciousness, intoxication, depressive symptoms, fights, poor sleep, gut issues, skin irritations and unregulated actions among many other things.
Why would a municipality or township want to own and operate such an establishment?
What are the intentions of these municipalities and townships? Do they want to support the health and wealth of the people?
Liquor stores are a societal norm... but just because that is so, doesn't mean we have to continue on 'business as usual'. Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Just a thought I've been pondering as I think about community in general... why our towns own and operate liquor stores... and why the people like their liquor so much.
Questions people... questions that roam my mind.

Hi family. Wishing you peace and serenity this night. The world is wild mess right now on the one hand... and a beautiful new earth on the other hand. It's all about perspective and where you stand. Life comes in waves, some waves bigger, others smaller... these waves roll through humanity and they hit people at different times depending upon the individuals soul experience. Each wave of life affects each individual differently. It's a beautiful thing.
Technology is a wave, it comes and it goes. As time goes on, there will come a point where nobody will be using 'nostr' or 'primal' or 'facebook' or a 'computer' for that matter. It's all a wave... it'll dissipate and take a new form, a new shape, in a new way.
"Nothing to get hung about" ... as they say.
Local food, growing your own, meeting people in person, reclaiming your humanity, your power, your story... these are tangible ways to embody our higher power. Meditate, exercise, love, share, teach, learn, drink clean water, say yes when it means yes and no when it means no... these are all ways we can embody our higher power.
Cheers ya'll

It'll be up until end of the Month at most. I think by me simply being on Nostr alone will help promote Nostr. If people really like my content who are here and also have Instagram, they can just repost my stuff on their instagram... some of us are ready to be completely off of it - I'm one of them.

yes, there's an energetic release for sure. A breathe of fresh air.

Yes, thank you for correcting me. I'm still getting my jargon all set straight. I understand, Primal is an app built on Nostr, correct? Thank you, cheers ~

it's funny you say that. We DID move that rock up those stairs! We carried many more just like it to build a fire circle. Good eye!

Introduction Post:
My name is Mason Berube. I'm from Minnesota. I love working in harmony alongside Nature each and every day. I've lived the last 4 years with a flip phone, I haven't largely been off of social media during that time. When I look back on those years I can honestly say I didn't miss a thing. I'm so happy that Primal is a thing and that people are working to create a better way of interacting in the digital sphere. I still think the best way of course is in the real world, but I'm learning to live between two worlds (tech and nature). So, I love experimenting and learning about new ways of doing so.
I started learning how to use instagram as a backbone for an online mentorship business a few months ago. I did it all (posting everyday, using hooks to catch peoples attention, outreach, etc...) - what I found is that is that the very system and foundation that IG is built upon essentially just creates clones of people. It's not for me, to say the least. I think it is for some people, but it's no longer for me.
Primal is a return to the early days of the internet, I am so happy for this because it is shaking things up in a good way. Not only is it a return to a good social media experience, but it is also a step forward towards a more humane transactional system with BTC. I love this aspect of the platform.
I currently use a Macbook Air - I'm stoked to maybe have a @nprofile…d7jf computer one day. Everything we can do to create a more biological friendly tech experience is a win in my eyes.
Apart from all of that, my day-to-day work is on the land. I've been involved in local food systems for the last 4-5 years now. Primarily working in small-scale farming and vegetable production. I've become best friends with the chickens and cows, I love seeing the magic of a seed transforming to fruit and the community of people in the agriculture and farming sphere are truly beautiful people in so many ways.
This is a huge part of my work: connecting to the land, stewarding the land and networking among folks who are interested in learning more about this way of life.
I don't yet know how I will utilize this platform. I don't yet know the true purpose of social media in general. However, as I stated earlier, I'm willing to experiment and see what works and what doesn't.
Shout out to @nprofile…uzxr for taking my questions and thoughts about Primal and Bitcoin.
I'm currently living near Dominical in Costa Rica. I'll be here until the end of April, if you're in the area and looking to connect, I would love to! I'm staying at a beautiful place called Sacred Space Center (website: sacredspace.center).
My instagram username is @offlinewithmason - I will be deleting the account by the end of the month and switching completely to Primal.
Cheers ~ https://blossom.primal.net/81d04142f8adcb7edface92d8afe493ee6e63a15784252e58e6410aa6a83a398.jpg

I have signed up for Nostr, I have a Wallet of Satoshi and I think it's connected to Primal. I can receive and send zaps. I don't know yet, how I'll be able to take my bitcoin to spend at the local farmers market here. I don't yet know much about the crypto side of this platform. But I do know that I am sending and receiving sovereign money and messages so far! Haha, all good. I'll keep learning.

It is a new breed unto itself. The mere fact that I can choose what appears on my homescreen is a HIUUUUUGE sigh of relief.

2026-03-17 02:05:12 UTC

Okay. Primal is it. It is a return to a humane social media experience.
