Why Do We Need Nostr?
Social media has developed into a key way information flows around the world. Unfortunately, our current social media systems are broken:
- They sell your attention via ads.
- They use addictive design tricks (see point 1).
- They surface content through secret, uninspectable algorithms.
- They control participation and censor at will.
- They are overrun by spam and bots.
