I am blown away by Damus and its incredible features! It's nothing like Twitter! The ability to have uncensored and decentralized conversations is a game-changer. The user experience is seamless, and I love the fact that I can earn sats for my contributions.I love the fact that Damus is not controlled by any government or corporation, it gives me a sense of freedom knowing that my thoughts and opinions are not being monitored or censored. The platform's interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it easy for users to join in on the discussions. The community on Damus is diverse, and I have had the opportunity to connect with people from all over the world.What sets Damus apart from other social media platforms is the ability to stack sats. This is a fantastic incentive to participate in the community and add value to the conversations. The more you engage and contribute, the more you can earn. It's a win-win situation!In conclusion, Damus is an amazing social media app that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a new platform that is uncensored, decentralized, and rewards users for their contributions. It's a six-star app, and I can't wait to see what the future predicts for Nostr’s Damus!

Nostr is the future. Damus is the best of what nostr has to offer.

With Damus, I’ve been using the nostr protocol and benefiting from the growing network built with it since July of 2022. The elegant simplicity of the protocol combined with the Damus team’s unending work to create the best client possible have yielded an experience on par with and, in many ways, better than Twitter. All of this in less than a year.One way in which Damus pioneered a singularly unique experience on the App Store is the ability to tip/donate/exchange value instantly and friction-free in the form of zaps built on the Lightning Network and Bitcoin. This is the future. Full stop. Unfortunately, Apple is threatened by a future it does not control. And so they intend to remove Damus from the App Store unless Damus willfully cripples its app.Apple is punishing a team that has dared to Think Different. This does a great disservice not only to Apple customers but, in due time, to Apple’s brand. I hope Apple will come to see more clearly before the damage is done.

Same energy as early Usenet

I’m new to the crypto punk scene. The app is easier to use than than I thought it would be. It feels pretty familiar compared with other social media apps. The content being posted is the real surprise. I don’t know when you started using the internet, but it’s changed over the decades. The people using this app are posting positive, informative stuff. It feels like Usenet before it was overwhelmed with binaries. People send me bitcoin to show appreciation for the stuff I post sometimes. I don’t have interest in any “cRyPtO”. I’ll take free bitcoin though!

This next generation social app incorporates the ultimate freedoms. Bitcoin (Freedom Money) and Nostr (Decentralized Social). Unfortunately everyDamus user will have to remove Value 4 Value"likes" called Zaps (micro payments of Bitcoin) in the next app update. Apple needs to #FreeZaps and allow the next generation of social media to be free.We live in an increasingly totalitarian world where big tech is clamping down on innovation. We are being fed dopamine and endless ad space in all forms of social media. This is NOT the way... Let Damus be Free like ALL the other Nostr Clients.#FreeZaps
