#Nostr is not a showcase for influencers.
It is a refuge for those who choose freedom over visibility.
No emails, no advertising.
Just keys, voice, and will.
Its strength is not measured in numbers, but in sovereignty: protocols that endure, adoption that comes from the bottom up, no masters.
If you want the mainstream, go elsewhere.
If you want freedom, welcome home. 🫂🎨

Exactly 🙌 #nostr isn’t about chasing likes or building followers. It’s about choosing freedom, no middlemen, no permissions, no masters. Just pure connection, voice, and sovereignty. The mainstream runs on control. Nostr runs on freedom. Welcome home :)
There is definitely hope that Nostr will be a showcase for ideas rather than influencers. The value for value nature, and the lack of evil centrally controlled algorithms, particularly supports this.
However, as it grows, it will NOT overcome human nature. Attention will continue to be a currency. And once all the eyeballs arrive - mass marketing and advertising will follow.
I remain pragmatic but hopeful.
Nostr also needs much better search and discovery tools, because at the moment, the big accounts and the "influencers" dominate a huge percentage of the attention (and zaps).
