Welcome to Nostr ๐Ÿ™Œ

Thank you! I'm using iris.to and it's pretty nice so far. Seems like posts load a bit slowly, though...

Hello!

Hi there!

hi! welcome! hear you loud and clear ๐ŸŒŽ

Yay! I was wondering if this would work

yes! now we gotta get you some zaps โšก

Love that idea. I set this up using Get Alby and Iris.to. and I see the lightning bolt on your comment but not mine, though. What am I overlooking?

have you put your address in your profile?

Ah. I assumed Alby would handle that. 1 sec.

Think I got it. Just put my @alby address in there. Looks like it's showing up now. Thanks!

I want zap him first!

too late!!!!!

Hahahaha thank you! You're both awesome

Zapped you both (I think)

Got it! But you havenโ€™t put your address in your profile yet?

Did it just a couple minutes ago. Does the lightning bolt show up on my reply?

Got it. Forgot I was on Damus and canโ€™t zap that way. Iโ€™ll zap you now.

That's why I'm trying out Iris ๐Ÿ‘€

Zapped you!

Right back at you!

Right back at you ๐Ÿ˜œ

Itโ€™s fun, eh?

Welcome to nostr!

If you have any questions let me know or use the hash tag #plebchain and someone will be sure to give you hand!

Post content, engage with people, respond to notes and you will find that this place is a ton of fun!

There are so many good people here with a variety of interests, that want connect with other people in a free and open way!

I so appreciate the warm welcome ๐Ÿ˜Š

I've played around with Damus before, but I heard about Highlighter recently and wanted to try it out. I've never used a website client before or tried to set things up from scratch.

It's such a cool ecosystem with everything connected/overlapping, and all these different ways of engaging with people and content. Blows my mind a little bit.

It truly is. Portable identity, wherein you are not bound to one client. Pure freedom.

The developers are so committed to the ideals of FOSS and freedom and very aware of the use cases for users. They are often very responsive to feed back too.

I can't think of anything else like it, tbh.

One thing I'm trying to figure out... if you're new, how do your posts get visibility? My original post might have faded into the ether if nostr:npub14qz92uedt0a8jte8jqg63jr3s5cc99cej36jh883z6tprlu354uqqe2q26 hadn't reposted it and then you guys replied.

Best to just engage in conversation with the people I follow, and build up community over time that way? I guess using hashtags probably helps, too

Yeah, exactly. You can search up hashtags on topics too and then respond to those. For me, the best advice would be to comment and engage in conversations. And post notes, on whatever you are passionate about. People will pick up on your passion and want to engage with you.

You are your own curator of your feed. No algorithms, so it will take a little bit of work and effort but itโ€™s worth it for the freedom the protocol provides.

๐Ÿ’ฏ what wolf said!

I love this. I'm on it ๐Ÿซก

Sweet Winthrop! โšก๏ธ๐Ÿบโšก๏ธ

Thanks again for the thoughtful and warm welcome. See you around!

Of course! You will find that there are many more people who are here for the same reasons as us!

I can already tell <3

๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค™

Zapped and followed!

Followed back #plebchain

Done <3

What? Did you tip him? That doesnโ€™t count!

no I zapped him like proper zap while you were doing wolf things I guess ya snooze ya lose ๐Ÿ˜‚

Tip versus zap?

Tip, is just zapping your profile page. Zap is when I zap your note. Itโ€™s just how I distinguish it.

Ooh got it got it

Shoot. I was peeing on a tree ๐Ÿ˜‚

making sure the world knows you will not conform ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿฅ‚

I have to remind people. There arenโ€™t many elephants anymore.

nostr is concentrated elephants

Is that like concentrated orange juice? In a can, frozen, cheap?

Minute Maid concentrated pink lemonade was my go to growing up.

you were supposed to just say, Yes. and move on with your life ๐Ÿ˜‚ you're asking for sense out of me??

but did you add more sugar? isnt that the tangy one?

I canโ€™t move until our conversation goes full circle, or ends up on the topic of bitcoin.

No, it was not iced tea. Pink lemonade, no sugar needed.

maybe I did it wrong then. I just ate it with a spoon straight out the can v tangy

Oh crap! That brings back memories! Straight outta the can! Super concentrated and not watered down.

I didnโ€™t think it was possible to like you moreโ€ฆ..๐Ÿ˜‚

why would you want to water it down ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ im the normal one, right?

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ my mom would say it cost too much (cans were 59 cents)

Sikto, stop eating the cans we can make a whole jug with that. I would then proceed to drink the whole jug ๐Ÿ˜‚

it was a thrill so tangy it made ya jaw tingle lol I wonder what that is tho? like physiologically? im gonna buy you a can just for you as a congrats to the close of the school year, teach. way better than a fkn apple.

holy shit they're 4.62 now no more 59 cents ๐Ÿ˜ญ I hate the fed

I hate apples now. Iโ€™m going to get one tomorrow too.

My kids used them for their lemonade stand last summer and told their customers it was fresh hand pressed ๐Ÿ˜‚ everyone was raving about how good it was. The power of suggestion - โ€œHand squeezed artisan lemonade.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

I of course taught them about false marketing and such afterwardsโ€ฆ.

1.59$ here. But smaller can. Shrinkflation. I hate the fed.

at first I read that as hand squeezed autistic lemonade ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Hahahaha.

I squeeze autistic lemons๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

they too would be welcome on nostr ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Here and only here will you find autistic lemons. They have exactly four seeds, are perfectly round, and know the populations of each state.

sounds slightly more ocd than autistic but i'll allow it ๐Ÿ˜‚

Nostr is a place for everyone. Autistic lemons, elephants and bitcoiners!

Seeeeeee!!!!! Full circle and back to bitcoin. Now, we can move on. Who shall we welcome next!

one last welcome to nostr:npub1jgygj0aqln4fqkq04kjpeer77aj23dwqvuzxdyxdv30k06nj292qvvzkcm glad you're here feel free to be as silly and serious as you like ๐Ÿค™ just pls be weird we need more weird ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ’œ

did you take away the money they made to really prove the point? or just a chill don't be a dick marketer convo?

Chill donโ€™t be a dick.

Should I have taken the money away? That seemed harsh. I also taught them, when they go to a store remember what you just did, cause they are doing the same thing. Donโ€™t be a fool type of thing.

that would be harsh. I was just testing if I needed to block you or at the very least mute you๐Ÿ˜‚

After everything Iโ€™ve done and said this would be the tippping point! ๐Ÿ˜‚

yeah kill a kid's entrepreneurial spirit and you're done in my world ๐Ÿ˜‚

My kids are wolves. Free range. No worries there.

Hi Winthrop. I taught a student with your name. He was hilarious.

You did!? When?? It's a pretty uncommon name. The only one's I've met, I'm related to...

Years ago. 15 or 16. It was my first year teaching. The boy was from the Ivory Coast.

Wow, that's awesome. Was wondering if we had met, but I grew up in the USA lol

What do you teach?

It was in Canada. His family had just moved. I teach math.

You are heard human.

thanks!
