I am a boomer pleb. I need help being put onto the new stuff. 😂 Frankly speaking, for work from an advocacy/survivor perspective, if there is more of a blog style Nostr that would probably be preferred for survivors than the current social media models that I’m on. Advocacy/activism would do well on the social media version! The opportunity for harassment and stalking is too high for me to suggest that a survivor use the social media versions.

I love it. I like the idea of it. I’m just grateful that it exists. I’m not really into social media too much. I just like decentralization. I like freedom. I’m 42 so I’m pretty over the novelty of personal use but I’m on for work a lot. View quoted note →

I look at hacker news every day. I don’t engage. It would take too much mental effort 😂 It’s good to find a place online where you can chill. View quoted note →

I think that #nostr will be good for anons. I believe that in the future it will be great for those who need to say something and not have it removed by those seeking to silence voices for various reasons. While it’s smaller, it can be used as social media but when it grows I can’t see it being a viable option for the masses. Each person is extremely complex with different needs. Nostr can fulfill some needs but not many needs currently. Filling some needs is ok especially when the need is to have the ability to speak freely. I’m speaking from a personal perspective here. Perhaps I’m wrong. I know that everyone is still building. I support your mission. 💜

Yeah I’m not even fully apart of the #bitcoin tribe but at least #Bitcoiners seem to have a solution to problems and some hope. I’d rather look at 900 bitcoin memes on #nostr than watch people quibble on X about tribal politics while simultaneously presenting 0 solutions outside of vote red/blue. At least bitcoin is a possible global solution to real problems.

Sending out love vibes today. ♥️

Alright #nostr I think that folks will be headed this way shortly, more people = more problems. This will be a problem so talking about it now is a good time. (It’s a problem everywhere online basically so Nostr won’t be unique) This is a difficult topic so let’s start with 101: Online Child Sexual Exploitation CSAM = Child Sexual Abuse Material (sometimes referred to as “child porn” “cp” it’s better to say CSAM) is an adult abusing a child in any imagery. CSEM or CSE= Child Sexual Exploitation Material or Child Sexual Exploitation (Can include grooming and online enticement as well as any type of sexual exploitation of a minor online. It’s a broad term it could include online child sex trafficking where the sale of a child is happening online.) SG-CSEM = self generated child sexual exploitation material. In other words the child is groomed or coerced into taking the imagery of themselves and sharing it. This is common with “sextortion.” Sextortion: It’s like catfishing with the purpose of extortion for imagery, money or both. This can happen to anyone but teenage boys are highly susceptible and vulnerable. AI generated CSE & CSAM: The AI imagery is being used in sextortion cases as well. They take a real picture of the child, add it onto AI generated CSAM or CSE and blackmail the child into sending money or imagery. If you see anything questionable on Nostr please report it to the NCMEC CyberTipline (I’m not shilling for an organization, I don’t work for them, they are the national org that runs PhotoDNA)

NCMEC’s CyberTipline is the nation’s centralized reporting system for the online exploitation of children. The public and electronic service pr...

If the questionable content is CSAM, CSEM or SG-CSEM is identified by NCMEC as abuse material it will be added to PhotoDNA and hashed. That hash will run on all corporate tech platforms so if it pops up again it will be removed. PhotoDNA

There is a decent amount of tech available out there to detect and remove this content. I will caution anyone using the technology to be cautious. I have concerns sometimes. That’s all that I can say about that right now. In closing, I believe that many of these types of issues that end up online can be prevented via education, awareness and prevention. It’s not a tech platform or protocol responsibility to end all evil in the world. When we are educated about these issues we can prevent them from happening to ourselves and our loved ones. In the case of Nostr, if you love this house…. get ready to protect it. If you see this type of content PLEASE don’t share it because you will be spreading it but let these people know that they are not welcome here and please report the imagery to the app and the CyberTipline. 💜

It’s always a good time to listen to Bob Marley music.

Yeah um I actually don’t think that the vast majority of people can handle social media without a #block feature. I’m not trying to be mean.

This is why I like #nostr View quoted note →

Thank you for listening! My biggest fan/stalker is pretending to be me by trying to wear my skin on #nostr by spamming others with pics/videos of me. Some of the imagery is real, some will be AI generated. As we move ahead in this space expect that survivors, advocates, influencers, politicians and activists etc. globally will be treated this way. A good lesson on how to verify who we are all speaking with online. I’m a great test case by being over here. This was very deliberate and intentional on my end. View quoted note →

#coffee #music #gm Let’s gooooooo #nostr have a beautiful day!

#satoshinakamoto did it perfectly. I mean not being in public. Best idea.

Kinda cool I just texted my bff this link because I thought that it was funny. The link was Damus but she’s not on Damus but it opened it in Snort for her. #nostr is 🔥 View quoted note →

I love it when my grandma texts me. She adds emojis and it makes me smile. She’s pretty good with tech actually. I admire that she kept learning. ♥️

The people are not prepared for the changes that are coming to corporate tech.
