nostr is the most plugged in to a social media I’ve been since discovering myspace as a teenager, and I’m pretty conflicted about it if I’m being honest.

I originally came here for the orange coin signal. I think I’ve stuck around in part because the nostr protocol itself is fun for a creative builder. I intend to continue building and hanging around but I’m going to make a renewed effort to keep my opinions to myself and limit my time here.

privacy is the right to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

the internet is forever.

Thanks for sharing Ben. Why would you keep your opinions to yourself? Are they BAD or something ? Are they SCARY :S ? Do you just want to keep them private?

Your worried about creating some kind of digital fingerprint, that kind of thing, yeah? If we can't express ourselves somewhere online, where data is relatively unfettered, how are we ever going to be able to do it in real life? It's akin to just waiting around to die.

This place is amazing. I’ve experienced nothing like it in my years.

bummer.

I like what you say and how you think.

but we have to stay true to that inner voice.

appreciated and likewise.

this network is incredible.

just continuing the good fight against ego. 🫡
