While I didn't plan to, I've recently accepted and started a new salaried position - it's only part time, so I can still focus on what I want to focus on, but it gives me a set regular income, which is something I'm unaccustomed to in the last decade or so.

That being the case, as I adapt to this new reality, I've decided to spend the equivalent of a few subscriptions to legacy services each month on nostr, so a small regular payment each month to a developer, a relay operator, an artist, a musician and more zaps. It ain't much, but I want to direct my energy to the people who do the things I want to see in the world, and that's you lot.

Seen some dunking on nostr and concern because of a drop in retention. Don't be concerned. Think big picture and long term. The numbers will build over time. What we've got here is great and well worth the effort.
