Building new protocol based social media is just the start. Sustaining and growing them is also very hard. Bluesky’s been struggling with declining daily active users over the last year. We see similar struggles in Nostr at a smaller scale.

Ok i'm know i'm very late to the game, but i finally got an #openclaw setup i like and seems to actually work, and yes, it is amazing. It has a cashu wallet, github user, and a proton mail account already. Has anybody setup a relay for these things or a space on Nostr for agents to talk to each other?

ok, we're getting ready to release divine.video to @Zapstore and we need some folks to test the nostr specific features, nsec bunker, nostr connect, login with nsec, etc... make sure we're not messing with people's kind 0 and kind 3 events, etc.... Please take it for a spin and give feedback:

The olympics are weird, lots of obscure sports. I found out today that New Zealand is building a second curling centre in order to increase their chances. They already have one near Queenstown on the south island, but now they're building a second in Auckland. This is after having failed to make the 2026 olympics in Curling. It'll mean New Zealand is the only country in the southern hemisphere that has dedicated curling facilities. Canada here we come!

This week on revolution.social I talked to @Anil Dash about how the tech industry has lost its moral compass. Anil is on the board of @Electronic Frontier Foundation and used to be an executive with the blogging platform Six Apart, and Fastly. He also did a stint on the board of Stack Overflow. He also talked about how AI is an major shift in tech but it’s in many ways it’s normal transformative technology, not something radically different than the internet, computer, steam engine, or other very important tech. https://fountain.fm/episode/b6l3DzNy27IQ0aZIcbW5

What misguided marketing person decided that olympic champions need to hold a weird stuffed animal on the podium? It ruins the moment to sell some branding around this specific olympics that nobody gets, likes, or remembers.

The reason we need alternative ways of distributing apps like @Zapstore is that centralized platforms like Google Play can and do shutdown apps.

This week on revolution.social I talk to Mike McCue the ceo of Flipboard and former Netscape executive. We talk about the open web, how it was built, how it was lost in the social media era, and how we’re reclaiming it with open protocols. https://fountain.fm/episode/0vjUP8LWvOjSpIPto25z

Discord announced everybody will be required to provide faceid or a government id and if they don't their account will be restricted to teen mode. I'm sure Discord will be good stewards of this important private data, after all they've not had a major leak of ID's and personal information since October 2025.

I just found out that Marques Brownlee, the creator who is probably the best at reviewing tech products out there, is also a serious semi-pro ultimate frisbee player who has played on the US National Team. He's REALLY good at ultimate, not just reviewing products.

Private social media companies have the right to implement whatever content moderation and algorithmic system they want. It's state overreach and bad for a democratic open society if Gavin Newsom does it, just as it was when Texas & Florida tried to do it for opposite political reasons.

When people ask my why I spent so much time in Uruguay and New Zealand, a map like this helps explain it. There are only 9 majority non-religious countries in the world. The only two outside of Asia/Europe are Uruguay and New Zealand. They also oddly have a lot of sheep. I don't that's connected.

So SpaceX now owns Twitter?!?

We're getting ready to release the nostr video app, Divine, on to @Zapstore but i want to have some folks test it first. Specifically the way we load up your kind 0 and 3 from other relays and try and preserve all of your lovely content, plus allow login via nostr connect / nsec bunkers are critical. So if folks wouldn't mind taking a peak at the app and try it out. I THINK we're doing well by your various nostr events, but i'm not 100% sure, hence the test. So maybe try first with a secondary nsec. ;-D
