Any other writers on here that would like to connect, and commiserate about the craft? I'm trying to build up to writing daily again. It's been very on-again off-again lately because of real life strains. I'm mostly into fiction but dabble in poetry when inspiration strikes. Nothing professional or monetized like a substack, and never published. I just like stories and imagery conjured by word smithing. #writestr

GM nostr They own this town (but Bitcoin and nostr fixes this) #tunestr

I resisted Twitter for a long time. Finally broke down and joined in 2020 after hearing of a community of bitcoiners who were active there. I was a fun couple of years. I regret not joining earlier, but I have no regrets about deactivating my account and uninstalling the app. 'X' made it a lot easier to break away. I want nothing to do with this 'everything app' nonsense. #nostr or nothing.

Happy Friday plebs, go after it today #plebchain

Some of my favorite background music to work to. #musicstr #grownostr

Worldcoin itself isn't threatening. It's use to further legitimize the usage and adoption of surveillance technology is where the real danger is IMO.

#plebstr Anyone know why nostr is playing something in the background on my phone? There's no sound, and I can pause it, but no idea what's causing it or why.

Recent flight out of Orlando. Florida is very pretty. Way more water than I'm used to seeing (or breathing).

How far will we get with Nostr when people seem so content to relinquish agency over their own lives in return for comforting promises? Bitcoin will punish those who don't adopt it, and so that lends to a feeling of inevitability. Even rubes will follow harder money over soft when provided enough hardship from the latter. But Nostr feels different. The incentives to use it are predominantly to avoid censorship of communication and ideas, but that's at odds with your Average Joe who believes it's acceptable to censor people he doesn't agree with, and that it's desireable to exist in digital walled gardens where they have no control over their online identity or their data. What am I not seeing that will help push this protocol toward mass adoption? Is it the world outside of dilapidated Western democracies that will drive it forward? All I see in my own life are Americans who don't honestly care about freedom or censorship except as buzzwords their political team throws around. Honest question, would love to hear other thoughts.
