There is no second best!

This is how I feel towards our wins in Nostr & my generational cohort/peers using mainstream social media seemingly not wanting to take the initiative to make the shift to Nostr. It’s either TikTok this or Instagram that. I left that ship a long time ago & I refuse to put myself to go through the KYC process again. which is why instead of waiting around for someone to build mainstream alternatives - why not build it ourselves? is my attempt. Does this solve everything? No. Will this fix the broken system? I’d like to think so, but eventually, in the (hopefully) not-so-far-distant future. Admittedly, I cannot do it all by myself. I’d be crazy to think I can replace a behemoth of a tech empire on my own. But we can contribute as a community. At least I’d like to think so. So how can we help?

Nostr fits into the picture by not promoting algorithmic feeds and only showing what your followers post, thereby removing the toxic sludge of attention-grabbing content solely for the purpose of data harvesting, which is used to fund operations by sending it to third parties. We can simply opt out by choosing #nostr Who's to say that #Rumble won't operate the same way Big Tech currently functions? Is it decentralized? No. Is it open source? As far as I know, only its content moderation tools are open source, but that's about it (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Is it censorship-resistant? They claim to be, as designed. However, since they have a CEO and board of directors, they have to answer to somebody. So, it's only a matter of time before it won't be as censorship-resistant as they claim, especially under governmental pressure. So, where does Nostr fit into this? It fits by serving as a decentralized, open-sourced, and censorship-resistant protocol that doesn't serve any single entity, unlike a centralized platform like Rumble

I reproduced it again with a new wallet on desktop as well using Apple M1 MacBook Air. Earlier was with an iPhone. Tried two different nsec & same behavior occurred. If you need more specifics about my set up, let me know where I can contact you.

This is absolutely wild.

Yes I do and it follows with the “@npub.cash”

Love the updates! Although not sure if this is an issue on my part, but when putting in a nsec I received this error. How do I resolve this?

What is the general consensus of y’all wanting a nostr-native, zaps-only version of TikTok? I can continue pouring majority of my time & energy into improving the PWA version of & even start working towards a native iOS/Android app implementation of #ZapTok Or are y’all content with #Rumble (video streaming platform) and their new “bitcoin-tipping” feature reaching millions of their monthly users outside of Nostr? #asknostr

That’s a much-needed message I can get behind 🫡
