As the 3rd edition of the @Nostriga unconference approaches, I find myself with a mix of emotions. #NOSTRiga will be the last edition I help organize, and it’s deeply personal for me to step away from something that has become such an integral part of my life. This experience has been one of the most fulfilling of my life. I used to think that in order to contribute to FOSS, I had to be a developer. But I’ve learned that if you love something, you can always find a way to help it grow. Nostr.world unconferences have given me a new family—all of you on nostr—and some really close friends like every nostr.world core organizer @mcshane, @mads, @ExFrog, @Angela, @elidy, @Bitcoin Jungle, @ICQ, and my PR BFF @UNCLE ROCKSTAR. It’s because of this unconference that I found a home with the @The Nostr Report and @Plebchain Radio 🎙️ team. I love these guys: @corndalorian, @⚡️ᗪㄖ匚⚡️, @Lau, @Avi Burra, and @QW —my go-to trash-talking team. And honestly, there are so many more special individuals that I can’t tag you all, but everyone helping grow nostr has definitely touched my heart. Though it’s heartbreaking to move away from organizing this event, I am excited to focus on the other projects I am passionate about. This isn’t goodbye; I will still be here, continuing to contribute to FOSS with the different projects I am blessed to collaborate with, and working hard to create bridges to grow nostr and keep freedom of speech alive. Thanks to all of you for giving me this opportunity, especially @jack for trusting this whole team to deliver events around the world, allowing people to express themselves in the best environment possible. I can’t wait to see everyone in Riga for the whole Riga Bitcoin Week. I hope the next person who joins the team feels free to talk to me about anything they need. And if any of you ever wants to talk about nostr, marketing, events, bitcoin, or just needs someone to reach out to on this journey of fighting the status quo, feel free to talk to me! Stay classy nostr, Marce 💜

Why do you #bitcoin ? Why do you #freedomtech ? Me:

Do you consider cashu a bitcoin layer 2 or layer 3? Or is it not a layer at all? #asknostr

GM Never be who they want you to be… You do you 🤘 View quoted note →

Here's a hard pill to swallow... #Nostr is not just a social media platform to replace [insert centralized SM here] because your bigotry and anti-woke ideas will be censored... your conservative bullshit thoughts are the last thing we need to concern ourselves with protecting. Decentralized protocols are built so that people in oppressed governments can communicate freely, so your basic Google research of homosexual porn is not saved on some server that will later come back to haunt your homophobic public self. Decentralized protocols, privacy, censorship-resistant tools are here to aid our data, our freedom of choice, to give a voice back to all of those who have been unjustly oppressed. If all you do is sit all day, shitposting stupid comments on how you are the better bitcoiner or nostrich because you run your own node, have never been KYCed, and throw hate at whatever tools and makeshift efforts others are using to try and build a future, you are not a better human, you are part of the problem, you are just loud, creating division and hate. FOSS is for everyone, and it should be used in the ways people can with the tools they have. Nothing infuriates me more than people so blinded by their own privilege that they can't understand that those who need the tools the most can't use them as easily as they can because of LIFE AND REASONS!
