Dope content! I want to repost on my other socials. Want to add a simple how to set up Nostr account. Any good source to guide people to?

I would just tell them to download damus or primal on the appstore, it should be pretty intuitive.

Good points. #Nostr doesn't necessarily prevent the current social media regime, it just prevents the regime from black holing you if you decide to opt out.

Worth mentioning that the more people run relays the more decentralised and secure nostr becomes. If you understand why that is so important for money #bitcoin then you will understand why it is so important for social media #nostr

Love it. Concise and to the point.

FYI the native money of the Internet is fiat. Literally every online shop from Amazon to DoorDash to AliExpress takes fiat and none take Bitcoin.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Take your everything anywhere

nostr is great for bitcoin awareness

This is why #nostr is so intriguing.

It is your open opinion or knowledge at the moment of Posting . And nobody can change that!

I am using Damus, I ❤️ it. However, I have an issue in zapping out. Anyone can help. It was working using the zapper. But now it is not working again. #asknostr

Run this and restart the app!

Data cannot be owned. Information is non-scarce, and thus private property is not necessary.

Thanks I will try.

Incredibly well put!

Awesome!

I’m waiting on the iPhone relay node. Like Breez Wallet is a Neutrino Bitcoin node for on the iPhone 😊

I really want to dig into "you own your data" on nostr. Do people feel like that's true? I certainly don't feel like that. I feel like I can author whatever data I want, but once I publish it I don't have any control over it anymore. My data gets published to many relays in control of many different people with different ideas of how the ecosystem works. I generally have no way to delete or modify the data. I have access to my data whenever I want, but so does everyone else. And that data can be used for seemingly whatever purpose anyone that receives it would like. I'm not sure what would stop a company from using that data to, say, target ads at me. It's not even really clear where the authority to do any of this comes from. There's no user agreement or anything. If I do own the data, it's certainly not treated that way. I don't believe any of this makes the system *bad* per se. It just feels like something we haven't figured out yet. View quoted note →

With power comes responsibility. I think un-censorable publishing is power, and that’s a feature here that comes with the responsibility of being tied to what you’ve written in the past. I also think this is in and of itself is a feature preventing folks from being massive dickheads on here. As for the ad targeting and such, you can configure your usage of this open protocol in any combination you want and make decisions on value trade offs. We’re widening the attack surface, definitely not fixing everything about capitalism and human nature.
