Nostr is a commons, it's something we all use, some of whom make money using Nostr, but none of us own it. We govern it through formal and informal means, but without the thing itself being owned by an individual, company, or government. I sad down with David Bollier, researcher and author of many books about the commons to talk about social media protocols as a digital commons. And how a commons based open markets is the future of social media.

New episode dropping on revolution.social my interview with @Yoel Roth who used to run Trust and Safety at Twitter. After he left he spend a year digging in to how we’d do trust and safety in open permissionless social media protocols like Nostr. I really enjoyed the conversation and I hope you do too. https://fountain.fm/episode/2MEhd16aK1k2ZIuVYFNW

To everyone on the Pacific coast stay safe. Remember, the Pacific Ocean is really big soir takes a long time for a #tsunami to cross it. For New Zealand it will arrive between 1am and 4am. That’s 8 hours from now. There are traffic jams in Hawaii but folks should look for when it will arrive and plan appropriately. It’s not for a couple of hours.

I sat down to interview Kara Swisher on my revolution.social podcast where she is scathing in her critique of social media and the executives who founded and run the platforms.

I love how diverse the podcast ecosystem is... look at all these apps! https://episodes.fm/1824528874 I think this is something to aspire to for Nostr. We can have diverse open permisionless social media that's also easy to use and gets widespread adoption! https://episodes.fm/1824528874

The revolution.social podcasts first episode is live and there’s an in depth article about what we’re doing with and other stuff.

I'm getting ready to launch my podcast, revolution.social, kicking off with an interview with @jack were we talk about Nostr, Cashu, and the importance of permissionless protocols. I'm using my youtube account which i setup 19 years ago and didn't really use yet. In order to enable a few things regarding a youtube channel, it helps if i've got over 100 subscribers. So i figured, who best to help than the Nostr community. So, please subscribe and in a couple weeks, you'll be able to see a fantastic conversation Jack and I had about where we're going and where we came from in building social media. https://www.youtube.com/@rabble

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

There's a kind of social media inception, when you see a video of yourself when you are playing around with a new way of interacting with nostr....

I know nothing about war technology, but it seems to me that the war in Ukraine has really changed things. Are what we're seeing with the new Iran / Israel conflict a reflection of that? Two countries who don't share a border seem to be able to hit each other pretty hard and the balance of offense vs defense seems to have shifted. Before Israel was able to stop most incoming rockets, but now Iran is able to have enough get through to cause real damage. People have speculated about swarms of drones for years, we saw that with the Ukrainian attack on the Russian airforce... It feels like maybe military tech is able to be relatively cheap and agile using consumer tech. Interesting times.

Breaking news. As part of an effort to decriminalise drugs, New Zealand is legalising the pharmacy over the counter sale of melatonin! I genuinely was snuggling melatonin in to the country from overseas. This is removing a stupid rule. Small victories.
