I've been using nostr for nearly two years and it's pretty much the only social platform where I haven't encountered hate. That's the ultimate success of a social space not dependent and incentivized by algorithms. God bless you all, even if you think differently than me.

Gonna build an app to help no Sabos (Latinos that can’t speak Spanish) learn and practice Spanish with an AI voice call feature, inspired by Duolingo.

I feel like most startups these days only get seen because they’re venture backed. So some investors have a spreadsheet of startups, they pump it eventually by sharing it with their network, and then the market validates it because there’s money on the line. So the startup ultimately gets seen because there’s money on the line. But if you build tech products from your own pocket, it becomes a lot less likely to be seen regularly, depending on sales more than marketing.

It's insane how much the quality of content on tiktok has dropped since 2020-2022

In some ways, Bitcoin restricts freedoms. All systems do, even if they produce more freedoms than the systems before it. In what way does Bitcoin restrict freedom? It's still money, after all.

I think the way I program just changed. Thank you @Alex Gleason,

+ coding agents is insane.

I feel like the Like button shouldn’t exist on nostr. Coming from TikTok, a drugged out version of social media, I mostly see nostr as a rehab of social media. It makes me question why the Like button exists. The Like button was designed for advertisers. We have a competitor to the like button here and we ought to flex that. The Like button is a time-sink designed to optimize reactions and superficially uncommitted engagement. I feel like zaps shouldn’t be considered “super likes” but the default action. Content that gets created is valued at maximum authenticity and it incentivizes creativity and real interaction between individuals and communities.

Feel like rebranding "followers" to "connections" or something like that would be a healthy thing for the internet. "Followers" implied a kind of awkward hierarchical relationship, mostly meant for advertisers and personal brands.

BIP-8071 I propose we settle BIP-177 with fisticuffs. Elect two of the finest boxers and the winner decides the future notation.

I feel pretty strongly that nostr is a game changer for education technology and maybe even education as a whole. There is an authentic innovation and product market fit there. I would genuinely appreciate your attention or sharing of this demo and would love to hear your thoughts or opinions on the matter.

First day working on an avocado farm & beginning the transition off US stress and into Bitcoin x nostr #puravida

What’s the best way to mine bitcoin in rural Mexico? We got solar panels powering farms and boilers in homes these days 🤔

Well now that I've moved to Mexico, my little bootstrapped startup is profitable lol

What do people on nostr want and what do they need? #asknostr

Many Latino folks working their generation corporate jobs eventually come across disillusionment climbing the corporate ladder. The corporate machine is a game of status, not a game over diversity nor a game of merit. It’s status.

nostr is cool but what happens if you keys get leaked and people start laundering money with it?

I feel like I developed something really beautiful with nostr but I don't have the energy or spirit to promote. A lot of market stuff is honestly just some combination of luck, timing and consistency. Well either way, I'm pretty proud of what I've created even if it largely goes unseen.

All I did was talk about zapping nuts with my nutsack

I know a lot of people on nostr don’t use TikTok but the main conversation on TikTok right now is TikTok getting banned in 30 days. We’re going to see plenty of people come here, but a lot of creators are hopelessly moving to Instagram & Bluesky.

Sometimes your best work done is in a state of depression. I think there's good reason for this because you end up isolating away a lot of the stuff that matters and focus on very few things. If one of those few things is an idea or some kind of work you never let go of, I think it says a lot about the nature of that idea or work. It exists in a bigger picture.
