I seem to be especially unlucky with this :(

Maybe silence isn’t that bad. It’s a good way to compose one’s thoughts. 😏

LOL

gonna have to disagree with you there.

the point of social media is to talk to people, not to shout into the void.

Says who?

*echo*

says who…

I don't shout into the void. I have conversations all day, every day with people. If you're not putting in the work to be social, social isn't going to find you.

Not ghosting 🤣 going in and out of using my phone while I do other things. 🫂

awesome! are you more into bitcoin or Nostr?

I was a Bitcoiner first...Uhm...Definitely more into Nostr. Though I understand that the two have a beautiful symbolic relationship and I speak at Bitcoin conferences about Nostr.

Nostr probably wouldn’t exist without bitcoin. Now bitcoin is becoming more useful because of Nostr.

Neat! Can you elaborate on this "beautiful symbolic relationship"? It seems more than just symbolic to me, what with zapping and all that.

Typo. Sorry. I mean symbiotic. With that clarified I don't think I need to explain much 🤣🤣

They go hand in hand together. You can't have the freedom to transact without the freedom to communicate.

Ah excellent, makes sense!

Of course, there are lots of other ways to communicate freely without Nostr, but it's definitely one of the more interesting ways!

Not your keys, not your social communication.

would you characterize Whatsapp and signal as "social communication"? because those are e2e encrypted with your own keys

WhatsApp? No. Signal? Yes. Though Signal is a company and could disappear along with their infrastructure and my ability to communicate.

They're literally the same protocol.

They may use the whisper protocol now, though I'd rather not have to trust Meta who isn't known for being honest.

You're trusting Signal too, unless you compile their app from source.

Which can be done. Can I do that for WhatsApp? I thought it was closed source.
