If you want to get invited to our secret meetings, you just need to ask.
Well, you are a part of the nostrati.
Seems nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl really touched a nerve with the call outβ¦

I canβt afford to fly around the world every three months and drink overpriced cocktails.
π Felt that.
WTF!!!
Yeah, it's an unrealistic requirement. But there's enough of us, now, to have local, el-cheapo meetups, and those are slowly rolling out. Very exciting. More like what #einundzwanzig does.
Have two more coming up, this summer. π
Local in-person meetups are ONE part of the solution to CENTRALIZED over-influence from Nostr elites.
ANOTHER part is for us plebes to PREFER boosting and posting to each otherβs threads rather than jumping onto the βpopularβ Nostr elite threads.
A third part is just to ignore Primal, nostr band or wherever people get the notion of someone being elite and just start to curate your own followers list with people who talk about stuff you find interesting
Well, you can easily see the elites in most clients because they are hardly in the replies, but their OPs repost like 20 times in your feed. π
Even if they just post an emoji and can't even be bothered to write a single word, you'll see that emoji immediately begin to cascade.
Maybe I'm not following enough fanboys to have this problem, but I'll keep an eye on it to see if I'm just ignoring it or if I'm being so starstruck that some elite person has actually showed up in my modest timeline that I'm not annoyed about it π
Me either. That's why I'm not in Oslo π₯Ή
Have you thought about attending local meetups and events? I have been driving 3-5 hours to attend meetups. Building your local community is extremely beneficial.
That's how we're doing it, too.
Also, I hate flying.
Where do I send in my application to become a nostr elite?
Membership is closed, sorry.
No worries. I donβt think it was ever open to begin with.
You just gotta do the elephant walk with nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 and you're in.
I wd totally drive 3 hours!

I guess the nip-05 business isnβt what it used to be aye?
Hmm. I haven't really advertised in a long, long while. Probably the better part of a year? I should do that again soon. I don't like to do it too often and sound like a shill, but I think it's time for a bump. I don't really like overly promoting my own stuff. I like to brag about what cool things others are building. Things far better and more impactful than myself. Thanks for the reminder π€π»π«π
