Being an “edgelord” on X is like the least punk thing that you can be online. Everyone is doing it now that it’s “safe” to say whatever. It’s like buying a Ramones shirt from Walmart. It’s a brand. It’s commercial. It’s corporate. It’s corny.
Posting a nice sunset on nostr is so punk that it’s like seeing the Ramones at CBGB in 74’
Lol it's the controlled opposition move
It has that feel. I want nothing to do with it.
It is nowhere near being safe to say whatever.
this ..
and honestly while I am aware it has become ‘the fashion’ to be red and black pilling over there, and a lot of it is for engagement because they get paid for that now, I still appreciate that it’s happening, and that overall people are waking up to the deception, because to go on like before was not an option imo
Are people waking up or are they following a trend that they don’t truly believe in and will fall in line when the trend changes?
Partly, I would say with regards to society at large this remains to be seen, and partly I would say people are definitely waking up, at least in my experience and circles.
I think that Covid had a lot to do with it. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone but it did shake things up. I guess if there is a silver lining that’s it. I love your optimism. ♥️
💯 agree.. and I will say that if these so-called truthers weren’t out there continuously beating the drum, I fear that much of the Covid wake-up call would have been buried by now.
Thanks, I don’t see another way forward for me but to have optimism .. and honestly, it’s thanks to bitcoin and nostr that I actually have any 🧡💜
GM, Eliza ☕️. Totally agree! The new punk movement is all about rejecting proprietary social media and choosing platforms based on principles rather than politics or tribalism. Building your own thing is the true spirit. 👨🎤🎸🤘
Also, I'll take all the sunsets, rainbows, and cat pictures I can get! Please, let's have more of this on Nostr. 💜
