Ironic to me that the mobile experience on nostr is so far ahead of the desktop equivalent. Mobile is a captured platform; it's bad for our minds and our privacy. We should get off it to the extent possible.

“Bad for our minds,” I think there is something to this, especially for kids-always on their phone-never a chance to be left with their own thoughts-disconnected from their own life.
I walk down the road and am amazed more people aren't run over as they saunter around, head down, staring at their phones. Not great, tbh.
some people ( if they can be called that ) only have mobile at this point. like if there are 20 Mexican illegals living in the same room - do you think they have laptops ? but they actually have high end phones to impress the hoes.
Every year I get older (and slightly wiser) I hate my phone a little bit more. This thing in my pocket is a raging duopoly of incredible utility and time vampire.
We weren’t ready for such power.
From one perspective, phones have truly ruined our lives. I doubt anyone on their deathbed says “I just wish I had spent more time on my phone”
I basically agree. That is why I chose to contribute to Gossip and Coracle.
PCs are tools to produce; smartphones are tools to consume.
