I am a nobody who has never built anything of value I’m in no position to hate on somebody else’s project, or judge somebody for what they’re working on And if/when that changes, I will still be in no position to hate on somebody else’s project, or judge somebody for what they’re working on We’re all just trying to create something cool - if you don’t like what it is, talk to them, maybe you’ll learn something new or change your perspective Godspeed, Nostr friends

nstart is awesome, appreciate you

messing around and building a nostr relay radio: "tune in" to different relays to see what's being broadcasted across nostr. tbh could work as a fun way to browse livestreams and stuff

Shut up nerd

US Gov. is appointing a board member to TikTok. Trump floats pulling broadcasting licenses. Senators don't think "Free Speech" is a right anymore. Countries around the world are inching closer to state-owned and state-controlled media. We recently saw the impact of this in Nepal and Indonesia; it's not good. When a large chunk of internet traffic is funneled into a handful of apps, the media we consume is dictated by opaque algorithms created by a few companies. If those companies are influenced by governments, our permission to participate in online spaces is jeopardized. p(protocol-shift) = 0.35

I could be wrong, but I think he's getting at most users won’t bother switching clients just to see one person’s posts and they’ll most likely stick with the mainstream app (in the current case of at proto, Bluesky) - and in this case they won't be able to see your posts from another app because fetching data from your pds is prohibited by the main app overall, no matter where it comes from. Your friends would need to use the client that pulls from your pds to see them not a knock on at proto but the concept of bluesky being a dominant app on at proto

come to the midwest - things are still good here

stop naming everything after nostr, stop using nostr in the marketing, etc. it confuses people and lacks aesthetics just build things that natively use nostr, focus the messaging on things the avg person cares about, and nostr will do just fine

"how do people feel about the US economy?" WIP - needs more data but yeah this is dope... ask any question -> quantify the world's thoughts shipping soon
