The venn diagram of events falling within relevant has changed for me.

If by this you mean, not being on X you are exposed to far less fiat clownworld noise. Then, yes. This is feature not a bug.

Are you asking if we need X to keep up on world events? If that’s the question, then no, I don’t feel like I’ve been missing out or am behind

It’s mostly noise. What’s left: bitcoin going up forever, and local stuff to respond to

Have an inactive account to check every so often, but generally managing without that crap. Sitting here, in my lane, moisturised, not worried about Twitter “beef”

Also, maybe get some platinum, nfa, I’m not going there, but that’s what I heard from checkmate and a guy called the shrub!!!

Have you tried using nostr:nprofile1qqsw3znfr6vdnxrujezjrhlkqqjlvpcqx79ys7gcph9mkjjsy7zsgygpr9mhxue69uhhqatjv9mxjerp9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarjd93kztnrdaksz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ekk7um5wgh8qatz7tvu4p's unleashed.chat to scrape Nostr data and return something useful? I realize there might not be enough data, just brainstorming.

Best place I go for relevant data is my node.

The Bitcoin price and no bs bitcoin keep me updated on what’s relevant

No, I’m fine, but it depends on what others consider relevant.

This is an echo chamber and yet my attempt to jeep prying eyes away on my alternate identity caused me to be banned from X without reason. Most has a place, but most do not see the need for it yet, or perhaps ever.

Nostr is my main source of information. from time to time checking the media but that sucks completely

Yes and I love it haha.

I'm on FB and X.

FB is a joke, it's all ads and promotions from this or that page, company, whatever. Doomscrolling is real, and the reels take up a lot of my time mostly because I'm bored.

X is useful for those few profiles that post updates on some things I care about. but those profiles are drowned out by the noise, and almost nobody reacts or responds when I post. I usually give up within a few minutes and close it down.

Nostr is where I come to interact with other humans who care about the same things that I do. We may have different ideas, ideology, whatever. But only here do we have a foundation that we can use to build. Monetary foundation, Trust foundation, Information foundation, Inspiration foundation. It's all built into the protocol. I know if I see a post, 99% of the time the person who typed it is the person who created it. Even Reposts identify the source, not the person who hit share. So if I like a post, I can support the source. And I can trust it, even if I disagree with it. The information is secure, once a post goes out it's locked and whoever made the post has to be accountable for it. And if someone gets an idea first, nobody else can claim they had that idea earlier because timestamps are recorded.

I really believe that all social media roads will lead to Nostr. All we need is bridges built to and from the other networks and systems. No more silos. If someone wants a private conversation, that's a feature that is being developed, but with the base protocol as the foundation.

As far as relevant world events, I'll go to actual news sources for that. Real ones.

+1

Yes

I only hold bitcoin now. Don’t need iNForMatiON from clown world anymore. We’ve reached the inflection point. Bitcoin has broken the wheel. Peace.

Am to old for that shit 😉

I started checking out the selected accounts via xcancel.com (Nitter).

You have to search for what you want to see (accounts or keywords). There's no feed & no algo. It has its tradeoffs, but limits the time sink and doomporn pretty well.

I would enjoy if we create some DVM/Bot LLM which can scrape once per day your pre-selected accounts and pops out a newsletter for you in Nostr.

I know there's been backlash about people/bots using nostr for copy pasting their Twitter posts; (impersonal; "not earnest posting"; without the willingness to engage in conversation). But I think if it clearly comes from a bot or a 3rd party, it can serve a good function for the nostr community to brainstorm on the thoughts over here.

Relevance will find its way eventually.

Nostr is like a filter though. If the information is important enough you will hear about it here, and not get bogged down with information overload.

I have never used X and I'm as caught up as I want to be.

I know what you mean

Yes, and much happier for it

Are there relevant events in the world?

Would be nice to have some cross posting high signal news posters on NOSTR. Might be a way to earn some zaps folks.

That's why I'm enjoying it so much. Less wasted time, no information overload, more focus on what's important and what I'm interested in.

Yes, I have had to keep my X account as a result.

i wouldn't say im missing it, but yes. lots of news gets shared there.

There's definitely less noise over here on Nostr. Question is: how valuable was the info you're now not seeing?

Opening up space in our lives, gives us the ability for new creativity to come through

My bet: long-term you'll benefit hugely from not being such a big part of the "news cycle"

#1 in ' News'

I wouldn’t worry about it. Most of it is noise.

Nope. I have google alerts sending me a daily email summary of global and bitcoin events

rss feeds.

No. Just follow people who post that stuff.

The world seems normal, until you open X.

Totally. We need a bot that ports posts from X to primal!

Even Michael Jordan retired and came back the 2nd time

It’s time doc

Just ignore the haters

Question is - how updated does one need to be wrt general current events?

further.. Thunderbird app is the best for rss feed gathering

what kind of information would you like to see here that is currently missing? we can build to solve this.

My 2 SATS.

Twitter/X is very useful but it’s a one way street.

Use it anon & don’t post. Curate your feed & check it once or twice daily for anything relevant.

Clean, simple & informative.

Nostr does an ok job of pulling from X but it misses the mark.

Yes, I miss twitter. But the pain is worth building something that can last.

Give BlueSky a try. Definitely fewer bots and seems friendlier

Sources diversification Dr.

Yes, without X it would be impossible for me!

No? NYT subscription for the MSM view, YouTube for the alternative views.

if it makes you feel any better, i miss your takes on X homie! there is still signal there despite the noise. it has gotten better since all the election nonsense dissipated. let’s get nostr there, brick by brick.

NOSTR is cool, but if you actually care about getting the latest real time info X is clearly still the better choice. NOSTR hasn’t yet reached critical mass.

Come back to X, Jeff - your input on spaces would be massively well received

You're just missing out on euphoria and hype mostly. Real newsworthy events aren't exclusively within X's walls.

Come back to X. Vibe is a bit better now that we’re past elections and Bitty is ripping.
