At dinner with some (older) family friends who escaped communism…
“Communism taught us to run away from the devil… now we’ve found the devil here as well.”
If you are a “westerner” and have not studied communism, you may find this statement strange… “how can the USA be anything like communism?” you ask.
But this is what people who escaped communism feel, and I promise you they know better than you what communism feels like; they lived it.

Question for content creators, artists, musicians, and creators of all types on Nostr: what do you feel is the biggest benefit of using Nostr to share your content versus centralized social media platforms?
What makes Nostr better?
Alternately, if you feel Nostr is NOT better than legacy social media platforms, what would make it better in your opinion?

What Bitcoin Did was the first #Bitcoin podcast I listened to and has remained my favorite. Peter is a legend for his contributions to the Bitcoin space, and also happens to be a truly authentic and great guy — it’s what makes him such an excellent interviewer.
He was also gracious enough to come on @npub10qr…xqj8 on one of my first episodes.
He’s moving on at the top of his game, for the best possible reasons, and I can’t wait to see what he’s able to achieve.
But now, there is a #Bitcoin podcast void to fill, and I hope to do my small part to fill that void with @npub10qr…xqj8

Just had an amazing interaction with a based (and clearly autistic) bag boy at the grocery store.
As he's bagging away at record speed he says " CORPORATE REQUIRES ME TO GIVE THIS FLYER TO YOU BUT I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THEY ARE NOT LEGALLY ABLE TO FORCE ME TO PUT IT INTO YOUR BAG AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT IT."
Then he holds up this "get your free flu shot!!!" flyer and I'm like "appreciate it man, you clearly read the fine print" and he responds "NO I DID NOT READ THE FINE PRINT BUT I THINK IT IS MORALLY WRONG THAT THEY ASK US TO SNEAK THESE INTO YOUR GROCERY BAGS. WE SHOULD NOT BE DOING THAT."
So I'm like "good looking out man, definitely don't need the flyer."
And he's like "GOOD. THEY CANNOT MAKE ME PUT IT IN YOUR GROCERY BAG."
And I'm like "appreciate you fighting the good fight."
And he's like "YES."
And by this time he's finished bagging everything because he's fast as fuck, and then out of nowhere he's like "AT LEAST THIS LATEST BATCH OF FLYERS DOES NOT SMELL LIKE DOGSHIT."
And the cashier is like "you probably shouldn't say that in a grocery store dude."
And he's like "BUT THEY DID SMELL LIKE THAT. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE INK THAT THEY USED."
Anyway, just wanted to share this story because it's a great reminder that YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLY WITH BULLSHIT, NO MATTER HOW SEEMINGLY SMALL, AND HAVING A TOUCH OF THE 'TISM CAN OFTEN HELP YOU SEE THROUGH THE BULLSHIT.

I love seeing new CPRs (Centralized Platform Refugees) come over to Nostr.
I love the initial enthusiasm as the realization hits that this protocol is radically different from everything they are used to.
I love the nonstop note-posting when they first join.
But…
Sadly, many do not last.
They can’t get the same dopamine fix on Nostr that the centralized platforms deliver so effectively…
They are free, and yet they yearn to return to their cage.
But that’s okay. Everyone is free to do what they want, and Nostr will be here (and better than ever) when they eventually return. And they WILL return.
So, cheers to those of you that continue showing up on Nostr every single day, posting your thoughts, sharing your lives, sharing your art, sharing your music, sharing your podcasts, sharing your memes, sharing your feet, hosting meatspace conferences, and engaging in meaningful conversations with this small but powerful network.
You know who you are 🫂
And of course, cheers to the people who make all of this possible: the developers who write the code that allows all of us to have this incredible experience
Nostr is just getting started.

The old adage “if you build it, they will come” does not work anymore.
People are too distracted, and there are simply two many options for them to choose from in literally every area of their lives. You need to remind people that awesome shit EXISTS, or they will never know or care. You have to repeatedly tell them about Nostr, and do so on centralized platforms where they go every single day.
Yes, yes, I know what you’ll say “ALL OF US WHO WERE ON NOSTR ALREADY DIDNT NEED TO BE SPOON FED!! WE ARE DIFFERENT!! WE FOUND NOSTR FOR OURSELVES!!”
But actually, you’re NOT different. Most of you DID need to be spoon fed. Most of you joined after @npub1sg6…f63m or @npub1sn0…jdv9 posted on Twitter about Nostr. Personally, I joined Nostr before Jack and Snowden, but ONLY because @npub1xts…kk5s posted about the @npub18m7…q955 Beta version on Twitter… the first time I heard about Nostr was the summer of 2022 when I randomly read about it on fiatjaf’s github. Thought it was neat, but I ignored it until I read about it AGAIN on Twitter thanks to Will.
It takes multiple touch points to get people over to Nostr, and like it or not, every person here was once a potential user of Nostr who was converted to an actual user of Nostr thanks to a post on a centralized social media platform.
This is why I talk about Nostr on X. This is why I talk with almost all of my guests on @npub10qr…xqj8 about Nostr.
And guess what? It works.
In the last few days alone, I’ve had a bunch of people let me know they decided to try out Nostr because they saw my posts on X or heard me and @npub1s05…eyhe or @npub1a2c…w83a talk about Nostr during our @npub10qr…xqj8 episodes.
The point is, centralized social media platforms are still the top of the funnel to #grownostr
That’s a good thing, not a bad thing. Disillusioned centralized platform users are low hanging fruit.
Let’s go out and pick ‘em. 🫂
