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.
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.
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
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
