Confession: After a solid week on #nostr I don't think there is a way back to traditional social media for me. I go back just to realize that I completely don't get it. There is no value, just endless noise, psyop and propaganda. There is hardly any discussion but trolls..trolling each other and people shouting over one another. I prefer #value4value model and space where I have time to think, absorb and contribute.

What has been seen, cannot be unseen. This is the Way. 🫂
Also you have to participate to feel it. Funny how lack of flexibility can make you a totally lame individual here if you bring ego driven, image worshipping attitude of FB and IG for example.
the programming layers come off the longer you’re away from the influencer worship churches
🎉🥳 here you get to learn more, be challenged, have an opportunity to grow, disagree, argue, laugh, admire, chill and enjoy
Thx Gigi. Your contribution to both #bitcoin and #nostr is on another level of understanding and you inspire me to search and study. I want to thank you for that!🖤🙌🏼
AMEN!

I am 100% with you on that. Centralized social media is an absolute cesspool of all kinds of bad things I wouldn't even dare to engage in. Decentralizing, like what we're doing here, is the only way forward.

Argument for the sake of argument instead of trying to arrive at truth. Here people seem to be a lot more honest about their disagreements

it really is so refreshing, I'm reminded of early Internet forums, real people just having conversations
Nostr is like this too but with bitcoin being thrown around

i think there remains to be seen disclosures about real culpability in hiring bounty hunters for discovery. there are a lot of layers to the most recent endeavors, mostly arrogance and sloppy assumptions by salvo and others piggybacked onto it with their own bounty to see what they could get/learn. he no longer has access to anything associated with me. regardless: i am busy. i know all about it. i have things to do.

I haven’t been on Twitter for a long time. I can tell you I roll my eyes far less on Nostr
It changed so many things for worse. It messed with people's minds, bodies and understanding of reality..the model really hurt so many humans..very destructive force. Nostr is a paradigm shift that you get when you start to participate as it is even impossible to convince people that it isn't just another social media scum. Glad I dived deeper.

heh, this won't load unless someone else is sharing the exact same file, or my computer is on. I just turned it off for the night.
There was a sudden $20 billion in Russia's account. Someone sent money to Russia. It should be the CCP using BTC to send money to Russia. The evil CCP prohibits ordinary Chinese people from buying BTC, but the CCP will buy BTC in large quantities, because the CCP has too much dirty money. The United States and the United Kingdom are investigating who sent money to Russia. 😀
X is flooded with both influencers and propaganda and psyop that it's just becoming unbearable at this point. I still use it for quick information access but I limit my time there.

X IS DIGITAL SEWER NOSTR IS DIGITAL FOREST
So true ... It took a while, but nostr is like walking in the fresh air of a beach instead of a NYC subway at ruh hour

I'm glad I'm here early. I was born too late to be part of the early net, but this seems somewhat similar.

I can't imagine using any of the "traditional" social media platforms. They're centralized, censored spyware.

Yup. Everything else (including ActivityPub) has problems ranging from inconvenient to complete turnoffs.

Nice. I still miss Usenet, despite never having seen it in its heydey. From what I know, it must have been quite a place.

Looks like you're doing fine, tho. Just keep finding more people to follow.

YOU DISAGREE? GET REPORTED AND BANNED!! /s
I was too young to really understand what I was looking at, but I was watching that. I just remember the big mainframes with the tape and my dad running cables in the mud, to send "e-mail". Replacing Xerox memos and air-post. Remember the vacuum tube post thingys? I used to have nightmares that I'd accidentally get sucked into the channels. 😂

Wow. No, I'm probably too early to remember the vacuum tube post thingys.
Thank you. Yeah...love the band and also I run a project with Justin Chancellor. MTvoid :) Third album being written.
