On twitter I think before I post.
On Nostr I just post.
Happens organically, feels like there is something less at stake, I don’t know why that is either.
It’s very liberating in a way.
Discussion
but but but you can't delete 😏
dude so true moreso because my horrible spelling lol
Yea that's the werst! 😆
At least we don't have to see incessant messages to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m..."When edit button?!?"....
dude that's the way lol
Hey I’m definitely new to nostr and not greatly educated and wallets and utxos but all the way in on sound money. Any who is the Alby thing a necessity for zaps. I posted a request invite on Twitter but didn’t receive any responses. Any help or advice would be very appreciated
Because people will zap you no matter what, so you don't feel locked in a box
Your detox has begun! 🚀 👏
On Twitter, you have to choose between:
a) Posting like a trend-chasing clickbait bot, which feels wrong/fake, but rewards you with an algo boost, engagement, and new followers from the resulting reach
b) Posting like a natural human, which feels right, but loses you algorithm points since you're not feeding the inflammatory rhetoric of the day, i.e. the lifeblood of the algorithm.
On nostr, you post whatever you want and you get zapped. None of these hidden head games (resulting from years of being groomed by an invisible algorithm) apply anymore. It fosters freedom of thought as much or more as freedom of speech 🤙
There’s much more at stake here. You are cryptographically signing everything that you say and the lack of delete options makes Nostr more authentic, like an IRL conversation. There are no take-backs.
Wouldn’t have it any other way.
It’s True Freedom
👽
The Nostr flow state is real - no worries, just posts and zaps in the moment
But importantly, what you do say here, can never be deleted
So you’re much more accountable to your writing
Which, as I think about it, is more intuitive anyways (& hence perhaps that’s why you feel that way)
When I joined Nostr it was said that we shouldn't expect notes to last longer than 6 months, due to relays needing to free up space regularly.
I like the idea of notes surviving for 10+ years but I'm not sure how realistic that is.
I've still got emails going back to the 90's
Sure, but storage is costly.
We don't know yet how long we can expect Nostr notes to last. I have some Nostr notes that are 1.5 years but for all I know they could be deleted tomorrow.
My entire 1.5 year history is a 350mb file, around 17000 notes, not that much data really. If you're concerned about losing notes run a backup relay. There's options for umbrel, start 9, Citrine on Android, I think even one for old windows.
Absolutely. But for relays relaying a ton of users I have to expect that my notes may not persist indefinitely.
Yes, for users that worry about theit notes being deleted, running their own relay is a solution.
I responded to claims that notes are persistent. They might be, we don't know that yet.
On twitter I have to compress ideas into a cryptic format, cut away some nuances and sometimes accept an approximate result that I'm not fully happy with, just because I can't cram in the full meaning into the character limit.
On Nostr I need to restrain myself artificially and brevity becomes a really flexible term.😄
Twitter is fiat corporate vibes
#Nostr is #bitcoin farmer’s market vibes
On X there are so many people waiting to 'get' you. To show off to their friends how stupid you are.
I'm new to nostr but have not had or seen toxic people. Yet. But I am enjoying it.
that’s the feeling from early twitter, just a consciousness stream
Help. Need to expand my feed. Will zap for interesting non-BTC recommendations to follow. Please and TY! #fuckalgos #nostr #zaps
Free yourself, the rest will follow 🔥
Sometimes I zap before I read
I feel the same. Something to do with cancel culture.
