You can’t unsee it.

I have always felt like this protocol is a gift from the stars 🌟

💯 We are winning. It's also important to live in reality. There is evil afoot and silence and apathy allows it to grow. We are all doing the best we can. Balance is important.

I can’t believe I’m here to see it

gutenburg at the speed of light. the revolution may not be televised but it will be relayed

This.

I have some deep transmissions about this... But no energy to channel right now.

and maybe spidered, i have written one spider now, it would be easy to adapt it https://github.com/mleku/realy/blob/1b1faa8ba68c665f78bcacefc6fede8ccec35a5b/cmd/realy/app/spider.go#L17 haha, oshit i just realised that i may not have finished implementing that

oh yes, it is complete this could be augmented to include other message types, it just probably needs a configuration to specify what kinds, and maybe what relays this is a full relay spider, it searches for users directory events by scraping for relay URLs and it spiders any relay that returns a nip-11 and it can be configured to auth to the relay as well

Just a friendly hello from someone out there 👋🫂

The pursuit of truth has taken many forms over the years. I'm very grateful for those who continue to build to this end and the tools they create along the way. Onward 🔥

Hopefully they now are starting to see X for what it really is.

Our evolution will consist of looped revolutions, of which Nostr is one. We’re beyond early but we’re spinning at the right place.

It's like unplugging from a distorted/manipulated reality made of FUD, emotainment and cognitive warfare. Plato's cave 2.0

The propaganda doesn't bother me. I'm immune to that. It's the censorship. It's always been the censorship. Having a reasonably reliable, reasonably censor resistant place to call home is crucial in times like these. We need to make Nostr censor resistance even more robust.

It was invented at just the right time just like bitcoin

“The capacity for joy in our lives is directly proportional to our capacity for suffering." -C.S. Lewis- It’s the suffering that gave us the capacity to realize #Bitcoin and #Nostr.

I keep getting the sense you were all born in a prison. I've never had ANYTHING (except for IRC and ICQ in the 90s and later youtube) before nostr. I only adopted it because people kept telling me it's the comms platform for bitcoin 😃

Preach!

Agreed. I only joined recently, but it’s a much more wholesome place so far.

I’m afraid it’s as much about the amazing self-selecting people on nostr as it is about escaping the model of a walled garden. Like you, I thank God for that. Right or wrong, I still have no real hope in humanity as a collective though. Humans on the margin - that’s where my people are.

I’m thankful for you man. Without ever meeting you, I’ve watched your content and always get amped to hear someone speak truth so clearly and with such power.

I really appreciate you man and I feel the same way. That’s why for the new year I deleted Twitter off my phone and trying to only use Nostr going forward. Breaking the chains of manipulation, censorship, and coercion. 🫂

This is a lens too Everyone here self selected to be here It provides a very narrow segment of actual reality Even if I were to acknowledge you’re ideological objections to X, I’d argue it still provides a more representative picture of what people in the world think

Thank God for nostr!

a have to agree, nostr is great do far

LONG LIVE BITCOIN & NOSTR 🧡💜

“digital concentration camps” would trigger the shit out of a lot of people Great concept though, and one all the more fascinating in that IG and X users “choose” to spend time there How can it be that out of free will you spend time being harmed…? Nostr is a breath of fresh air As always, thanks for sharing your insights

Yes, although if we all walk away from those platforms and into our little walled garden at Nostr then how do we keep spreading our positive messages to the many who are not yet awake/aware? It reminds me of aged care and retirement villages which are removing the wisdom of the elderly from society. Surely we can't all retreat into safe spaces away from the rest of society.

Well said!!

I’m trying my best to promote this app with the little reach I have on X. I agree. Still trying to figure this place out a bit but, it is refreshing though.

Come out of the cave. The dancing 💃 shadows on the wall are not real

So, back in the day, we had #SilkRoad and #8chan, where things got so wild it was like watching a circus where the clowns were actually anarchists. You'd turn on the news, and they'd say, "Oh, the government's playing whack-a-mole with these sites!" Boom, they're gone. Now, enter Nostr, the new kid on the block, where supposedly, anything goes, right? But here’s the twist, I read about it like I was speed-reading #War and #Peace in a language I don't understand. I think I got that Nostr uses these "#relay" things, like a bunch of little #postal workers for your posts, and if one goes rogue, well, it's on them, not Nostr. But I'm as new to this as a baby giraffe trying to stand up. I posed this brain #teaser to #AI, like, "Can you shut down a #protocol?" And AI, with all its #wisdom, sort of said, "Well, anything with #HTTP can be unplugged if someone's got the socket." But what do I know? My #tech #knowledge might be as deep as a kiddie pool. I'm just excited because I think nothing I #post will get the old "delete" or "ban" treatment. I love this idea of the "wherever, somewhere" #concept where no one knows where your #data is chilling - did I say that right? Anyway, about Nostr's future? Imagine a digital #utopia where your #tweets, or whatever they're called on Nostr, are as free as a bird, flying around without getting shot down. But let's not kid ourselves; if the digital #apocalypse comes and someone decides to shut down the #internet, we're all back to carrier pigeons. So, thank God for Nostr, I guess, where we escape the digital concentration camps of #IG and #X, where they feed you a diet of doom and gloom, making you think everyone's out to get you. Outside, it's like finding out the world isn't flat after all, and most folks just want to connect and share without the horror show. Here's to hoping #Nostr keeps us out of those #digital barbed wire fences and lets us control our own #chaos. Cheers to that!

💯🎯

Thank you Erik! I just joined Nostr and feeling the same way. Greatly appreciate the work and the community being built here.

New to Nostr, still learning the ropes and I love it so far. Thanks to @Brindon ⚡️

Really, me 😲 Reveal yourself 😂

It's called adiction. First step is admitting you have a problem. Second step is taking action. It's a hard path, with fellow addicts trying to lure you back...

Indeed. We're still in a bubble. Difference is that it's a bubble of our own choice instead of a pushed algoritm.

I left just because of the ads! Looks like I dodged something worse 🙏
