Zap replies so damn cool. Bro zaps with a message, thinks he has the last word. BAM, gets a surprise reply to his zap. And then he looks like this

Interesting. A bunch of smart people here are failing to realize that all those BCH accounts are a bot army and not legitimate users. They're led by 1 or 2 real human users, but I got to watch one of those actual users post something then I went into the thread view and the bot replies started coming in one after another every second. Are you guys all really falling for that? I got nothing against idiots here who are into shitcoins, but ban the bots at the relay level.

Love how Colombia has been playing so far in this World Cup.

Time to conquer the world ...

NoorNote now has a "Last notes per follow" timeline. Idea shamelessly stolen from Notedeck.

Imagine a group of carnivore right-wing MAGA Bitcoiners losing to soy eating left-wingers. I told you. View quoted note →

I think it's not about who's better. It's about whether we all make it through this together or if it ends up as another failed utopian experiment in history. I'm familiar with this free stuff mentality. We've always had alternatives, even back in the age of blogs. Where do you think the first commercial influencers came from? When did street credibility turn into LinkedIn? It's always been the same pattern. And we're seeing the exact same patterns here for real. It happens slowly. First I lost my strongest argument for the purple pill, which was value for value. I quickly realized there's an imbalance. You get shit for value (S4V). So there's not much value left either. That's how the second argument fell apart. No value because all you get back is shit. A few financiers kept things running in the beginning but people figured out it was only heading in one political direction, undermining the idea of sovereignty. So now what? It'll go down very slowly. Big relays and clients will stop getting funded and fade away. Or will get corrupted. Value is already gone so we're all turning on each other. Remember how we used to hype each other up and talk about how peaceful, positive and constructive it was here? That wasn't long ago. Then just like that the beef started. In no time at all it's Twitter all over again. Bitcoiners fighting Bitcoiners, Nostriches fighting other Nostriches, assholes showing up, people getting insulted and doxxed left and right. Pride comes before the fall. By the way regarding that pride, we keep arrogantly joking about the "Nostr is dead" line. But active user numbers have been stagnant for a long time now and the joke has turned into this defensive stubborn stance like "so what I'll stay here until the last relay shuts down". And that's exactly how it could happen if we don't put our money where our mouths are. View quoted note →

Not gonna lie, they had us in the first half. When they said they were funding important Nostr infrastructure development, like the first Nostr clients and stuff, the millions started flowing. But now that the first generation client development can barely keep up with the level of today's clients, the money has dried up. And the old heroes look really old. They couldn't keep up or modernize anymore. They just rested on their old laurels (and the money) ... and still profiting from old legends and myths.

Impossible. NOW they're scoring and winning? 🇹🇷

@cloud fodder is on 🔥 right now. Igniting another round of dev wars 😄
