Nostr is a cool decentralized social network

• You can't get banned
• Decentralized (except for image uploads)
• Truly free-speech
• Twitter-like
• No Email or Phone number required

I just started using it and loving it more than the Fediverse. Only problem is that it is missing based people. We need a big dissident-right presence there with shitposters. Here is a guide on how to get started

1. Visit poster.place

• Enter a username
• Go to Settings, save your private key, it's basically your username and password to login to any app.

4. Add these relays under the Network section of Settings

• Copy the URL to the Picture url: part of your profile page.

Running your own Nostr Relay

Before you get started, please have Nginx already running and configured to forward requests to Nostr. Here is a sample nginx config:

upstream nostr {
    ip_hash;
    server ip-of-noster-host/container:7000;
}

server {
    if ($host = nostr.example.com ) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot


    server_name nostr.example.com;
    root            /var/lib/nginx/html;
    listen 80; # managed by Certbot
}

server {
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=0;";
listen 0.0.0.0:443 ssl;
server_name nostr.example.com;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/certs/nostr.example.com.key; 
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/nostr.example.com.crt;
ssl_protocols TLSv1.3 TLSv1.2;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_ecdh_curve secp521r1:secp384r1;
ssl_ciphers EECDH+AESGCM:EECDH+AES256;
proxy_buffering off;
client_max_body_size 10G;
fastcgi_buffers 64 4k;
gzip on;
gzip_min_length 1000;
index index.php;

location = /robots.txt {
allow           all;
log_not_found   off;
}

  location / {
        proxy_pass http://nostr;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_read_timeout 1d;
            proxy_send_timeout 1d;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
        client_max_body_size 2g;
    }
}
