Most people agree that Social Media is broken and that we need to find new solutions. Max DeMarco embarked on a journey to find out more about a new invention called NOSTR. This is his documentary about that journey and his interview with key players.

I’ve actually been on Nostr myself a few months (and did my own video about it). As with most alternative networks, you see who you put in your feed.

    Nostr? Isn’t that just for crypto bros, Nazis, and Jack Dorseys?

    I checked it out once and the chats I dropped into were all about people giving each other “sats” (nanobitcoins) and there were also some far-right weirdos.

    Conceptually it seems kinda neat but if somebody says they’re a big fan of nostr I’m gonna wonder about them

      Yes, it does have Sats if you want to use those to get tips. But it is not required in any way to use the network. What you see depends on who you follow. So I don’t follow Jack. For those who want to tip, or receive, Sats is better tan using your own credit card I reckon.
