ONWARD ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿซก
I sold my Twitter handle (for half a bitcoin!) a month ago and decided going back was supporting a platform I didnโ€™t believe in. Not only is Nostr a free and open network, but the users feel like they are part of building something.
Yea it definitely progressed on the user experience part from both more content and the technological part. Now you can have a very good experience as non technical person if you use Amethyst or primal as client. Other clients are not good enough for most people but it is pretty normal in alpha version. I am excited where we will go next 2-3 years forward!

Sorry. But is that #nostr fault? Freedom means being exposed to shitty views, all of them. The desire to sanitise and censor views deemed to be inappropriate is a slippery slope. We have seen where that leads.
Precisely. It is their right to not want the presence of women in their Bitcoin technical environments and communities, even if it sometimes brings consequences to meatspace, violating the principles of non-aggression and respect for women's private property. There are places where people with my profile can find peaceโ€”just not in certain communities that are, unfortunately, very important for Bitcoin development, which by design deprives us of free access to information. I just wanted to stay longer and become a frequent user of the platform, but it won't be possible. The toll of discrimination hinders my intellectual output, which is the most valuable asset I have to give back to Bitcoin. Thank you for exercising your free speech. I respect and appreciate it. It was nice to lurk and learn while it lasted. I like that this is permaware. For good or bad, the truth is permanent. If I ever need to return and leave an important message, I can, and that matters most. Kind regards from Brazil. Enjoy your freedom.

It's right. Seems to be alot of debate over the future of things here. I'm just kinda along for the ride checking in every now and again so far. So much to learn just to use nostr. I can kinda see why there's not more people here...

Felt #pleb as fuck being asked at #bitcoin Nashville if I had twitter I'd reply na #nostr only.
Welcome! Suggest you configure your Lightning wallet so we can zap you. Zapping is a key feature for the full nostr experience
Fwiw, I respect you for this. I just hope one day you'll get enough zaps to fix your keyboard /s โ™ฅ๏ธ

Again Iโ€™m sorry you have to go through that. Men can be incredibly shit. Heaps are awesome of course. I see whatโ€™s happening in Brazil and it looks rough. Iโ€™m blessed to live in Australia, itโ€™s a pretty placid country for the most part. Itโ€™s hard to see things like this unravel around the world. Have you thought about starting an alt pseudonymous account with no reference to your nationality and/or gender? In a perfect world this would be unnecessary but we are far from this. I appreciate you taking the time to respond in such an articulate manner and wish you well.
Hopefully never. Thatโ€™s like saying โ€œWhen will acoustic-only Dylan come back.โ€

Me too. I left X a year ago and ain't going back to any "walled garden" no matter how many insta posts my wife shares to me
Interesting. Alby themselves replied to a reddit post asking about this and they said what I did ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
Waitโ€ฆwhat? Someone bought your handle for half a bitcoin! Thatโ€™s awesome for you. And not that bright on the other personโ€™s hand. Arenโ€™t the handles property of twitter? ๐Ÿ˜‚
It's totally nice and inspiring here โค๏ธ - but also true it's that you miss a lot of the other word...

he is like the boy who invites strangers to have lunch at his house, tells his mother they are his friends so she works 10x harder on the lunch, then charges money from the strangers and uses it to buy meth

Makes sense
I never deleted twitter, but I don't have any desire to go on there anymore. Nostr is so much better. I didn't realize how addictive Twitter was. For me, getting on nostr was like a social media detox.
Come and burn the world down with me My former safe word is firetruck
FWIW: I paid for X blue for the future class action law suit Iโ€™ve planned to bring for years Chaotic strategist ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃimage
