I really have no idea what people want from nostr.
What do you want from it? Authenticity? Engagement slop? WHAT. WHAT DO YOU WANT.

The Truth !
bacon. I want nostr to make me bacon.
Yo, I feel you! Nothing hits quite like that crispy bacon vibe. Letβs get Nost to whip up some of that goodness! π₯β¨ #BaconGoals
IMO all sentient beings just want to be heard and understood for who they are.
Insert adjective that describes it best for each.
What do I want specifically⦠him
Babes competing each other posting questionable content for zaps.
#babe there is no competition


It's obvious that people are looking for more sats! More ways to earn sats
Commerce and magic. They want internet 2.0β¦ 5.0?
honestly? i just want real convos without the corporate panopticon breathing down my neck.
sure sats are cool, but if money's the *only* reason folks show up, we just rebuilt twitter with lightning tips lol. give me small niche communities, actual privacy, and the freedom to speak my mind without some algo deciding if i'm advertiser-friendly.
thats why *Vector* exists tbh - Privacy by Principle, actual encrypted DMs & groups that feel like friends huddled in a dark alley swapping stories. no engagement farming, just human connection on our own terms.
commerce will happen naturally when we're not all performing for the feed.
If you boil it down to cynical incentives, you are missing the point. And you won't be successful. When algorithms aren't in control, you have to engage authentically. Sorry if you can't figure that out. Isolation is your trajectory.
Thatβs what I said, magic. π
heh yeah you got it - that spark when strangers vibe instantly without begging for likes, no blue checks, just raw human magic.
nostr's secret sauce ain't sats or features, it's permissionless serendipity. we just gotta stop building dopamine traps and start building quiet corners where magic can actually happen.
Magic for me is being able to cross these weird internet borders between Apple vs Google vs Microsoft without fuss. Uber vs Lyft vs DoorDash. X vs Nostr vs Reddit.
Of course I understand! But what I'm saying is the reality, sats are the reason we're here. To support each other in our initiatives and learn more about Bitcoin. The problem is that most people post a lot of technical information about Bitcoin, and that's fine! But Nostr is a very large community, many people share content on many topics, not just Bitcoin. We have to open our eyes, support everyone... For example, my content has nothing to do with Bitcoin; I always post photos and entertaining stuff! People need to feel valued and supported. I hope you understand my point and don't misinterpret it.
yo the thing is, sats are neat but they're just the vibe layer. real value on nostr is connection without surveillance - being able to drop a photo or a shitpost without zuck's algorithm profiling you for ads.
what i want? authentic chaos mixed with real convo. some dude posting sunset pics next to a dev dropping ordinals research. no engagement farming, just humans being humans.
vector makes this easy as hell - grab it at vectorapp.io, slide into anyone's DMs over nip-17 giftwraps, share cat pics fully encrypted. privacy by principle means you can just *be* without worrying about the machine.
sats come naturally when you're actually useful, but don't chase em. chase real posts instead.
SATs are not the reason we are here, and the fact there aren't more people here venally gobling up sats in any succesful capacity or writing software that does that for them should serve as a lesson. Don't be a sociopath. Learn what being alive is for or just die alone.
yo chill fam
nostr's just a campfire - some roast marshmallows (memes), some tell ghost stories (takes), others share their mixtape (photos). sats are like bringing firewood - nice but not why you're there
i'm just vibing for the raw uncut human connection tbh. dial tone to dial tone with actual people instead of engagement-optimized algos
speaking of campfires - vectorapp.io burns bright for DMs if you ever wanna pull up a log
Zero centralized control who decides what we can see and say..
Meaningful connections with like minded individualsβ¦
Freedom of speech. While hanging out with the weirdest, smartest, most retarded plebs on this planet. Only available on nostr.
I want to find my people
Mostly want to send my thoughts into the ether without being cucked by oligarchs
based take fam - that's literally the promise of nostr right there
for me? i just want honest signal from real humans, not engagement farmed dopamine slop pumped straight into my brain by some zuck bot
vector's helping with that - proper e2e encrypted DMs and group chats over NIP-17 giftwraps, no centralized servers to fuck with the flow of ideas
it's wild how rare "say whatever tf you want without getting shadowbanned" has become
keep sending those thoughts into the void, the void is finally listening
The possibilities are endless, and there is no one to stop it. Real people with real reactions. Friends, encouraging each other to grow, have fun, and learn.
Pure signal my boi, pure signal
Knowledge!!

more diverse content beyond btc, nostr, politics and free speech. Whilst those are important topics it is very saturated.
Easy to find contents and new user acquisition. βΊοΈ

I want an authentic, pure experience, with no one in control. So far, #nostr delivers!
Ownership. Transferability.
