Zaps are also a great way to instantly share positivity/appreciation. Also has almost a sort of behavioral/pavlovian response for the author as well ("People liked this enough to sent a tip. Feels good man. Want to put out more content people appreciate"). A few sats go a long way.

Someone please help… how do I see a global feed on primal? Asking for a friend

I couldn't agree with you more Lyn. If freedom is the reason why we came to Nostr, then the early nice users of Nostr are the only reason why we continue to stay here and build here. There is a great group of users here, and they are the most reliable cornerstone of Nostr.

The values ​​of freedom shape the best Nostr culture.

Small tribes and communities are fun and inspiring. Similar to the early days of BTC and ETH/ETC for example. But as it's social layer scales then noise becomes harder to ignore. Being in control of the spam in order to curate the incoming information without an abusive algo is liberating.

We're lucky to have you on our side Lyn. You're a role model for many of us. 🫂

I love the culture here, can’t wait until it also has the depth of reach into different subjects you find on X. I’ve left everything but Nostr and I’m committed to engaging here at least daily to try to help build it into what it’s going to be. I can’t contribute tech, but I can chat with the best of em.

Definitely agree. Respectful and honest communication can be an art form ... being kind to oneself and others while also not sacrificing oneself to ANY other.

Value for value is the way of life. 🫡

definitely a more positive vibe than other parts of the internet

Pretty cool isn’t it.

“Nostr Lyn” has an amazing opportunity to set the bar as a standard instead of pigeon yourself to Nostr as your true self. 🤙🏻 LFG.

A big part of the culture that is enjoyed on nostr is simply because it is small. Think small town vibe vs big city. I like that I often see familiar faces in the comments. Because you know that you are going to keep bumping into the same users you are incentivised to be nice to them as opposed to a big platform with a billion users where if you insult someone in the comments the chances are you will never see them again. The human interactions on nostr are valued because there is a real cost/benifit to how we interact. Just like in a small town if you cut someone off the chances are they know who you are and where you live vs a city with a million cars and you will never have repercussions for your actions. I am not sure the small town vibe can be retained when you transport everyone to a mega city. I think the solution for retaining the culture is retaining the small size, if not in overall user size then in the number of users we interact with. Maybe nostr will grow into a mega city but perhaps we should stay mostly in our apartment buildings where we know the faces in our community and have real social capital worth investing in and protecting.

Pura Vida 🤙

PV is the official motto. always has been. unburdened what could have been 😉

Is PV the vibe, or is it GFY? 🤣

Such a powerful idea that genuinely changes the world for the better and is so easy to do. There is no down side to doing this and, like an in coming tide, it raises all boats in the harbour. Thank you In passing, another good rule of thumb is Amor Fati

pv indeed 🤙

PV💜Indeed.

It's up to us, that's for sure. I quit major social platforms because they felt anti-social to me. They fostered loose global connections but weakened local IRL relationships. Few consider the true meaning of community. It's not always idyllic. It involves navigating conflicts together. These conflicts can reveal truths and challenge our perspectives. It's about balancing the individual with the group, but sacrificing neither. It's a process that requires trust, where trust cannot be minimized. Building community is far harder than destroying it. This asymmetry means we need to practice "community" every day, in every post and reply ... even and especially when someone shades us. (Common behaviors like trolling undermine community trust.)

Your post warm my heart Lynn! Thank you for being here with us.

Grow grow grow. Money money money. Fiat thinking. Not bigger is better, better is better.

Here you don't doomscroll, you #bloomscroll.

NOstR is the shizzzle

Being able to actually build your own client is the literal game changer. No need to game the users with addictive dark design patterns. But how to incentivize "normal" human interaction is the big question. People are so used to being manipulated they actually expect the dark patterns and it might feel weird when they're not there. Loving your optimism, Lyn.

PV🤙🏼 #nostronly

Man, you’re coming out with some real banger posts today. 👏

This is the message: if the purpose of social media is to communicate with other humans, then we also must be careful with whom we engage. "Imagine if Nostr can re-assert respect and kindness as normal online traits. You appreciate peoples' posts. You thank them. You agree or disagree politely. You treat people online similar to how you do offline." View quoted note →

A perfect note! 🎯

Thank you Lyn for years of wonderful thoughts and comments on Bitcoin.

Respect & Kindness - I love it This is an amazing reminder

We are the algorithm now ⚡️😇

Beautiful Lyn - Pura vida

PV and ❤️ @Lyn Alden

That’s an incredibly interesting part about this ecosystem. We actually get to be an online extension of our IRL selves on Nostr. It’s not a development of an online personality for any algorithm’s sake. When you extrapolate Nostr then back to real life, is this how people would perceive the world without the constant bombardment of negative, sensationalist news?

Nice vision.

Bitcoin and Nostr both provide hope. I 💜 it.

Todo está bien

Fittingly, a motto of Nostrican origin

PV Lyn 🤙
