Live TV is so surreal… anyway, here’s a screencap of my live interview on CNN…. I got Nostr mentioned! Protocols are the future, we just need to build it.
Discussion
Would be cool to get some cnn boomers on here 🤙
Is someone else controlling her face?
You did change the world and no one can take that away from you. And maybe it was not your place to secure the world ! The next generation will find their path and I believe nostr will lead the way
What a weird moderator 👀 maybe it’s because I am not used to American news (or any tv news for that matter)..
she also clearly doesn’t know the difference between platform and protocol, but as long as it makes a few users think and look up Nostr it’s a win !
You did really well! You are so good at doing interviews! 🔥
Great appearance. Love your genuine reflection at the end there
VERY DOPE!!!
Great job.
Glad to see you on nostr. The protocol.
Did twitter really have plans to abandon a centralised server and become protocol driven with decentralised relays?
This is my first time hearing about it.
There was atleast a decade of Twitter before Elon.
Were these plans in the making for a whole decade and then blame elon for not doing it within a year?
No disrespect, just honest questions here in the spirit of authentic journalism...
Yep, but we tried to do it on top of XMPP…. This was back in 2007 and 2008! Ages ago. Honestly a lot of decentralized tech needed to be developed in order for it to work. We were too early.

Thank you I had no idea. Although I was using XMPP before twitter existed!
I still find it to be the "BEST" messaging protocol in terms of flexibility, anonymity, privacy, security, etc...
XMPP is lightweight enough to run on the tiniest device. But supports messages and voice/video calls.
It is annoying with multiple devices on the same XMPP address - logs are split/duplicated between devices, and it is unclear which device will notify you of a new message or call.
I was on twitter through XMPP until they cut off anyone without a twitter account. Facebook was the same thing. They talked a protocol driven game ("like email"), then cut me off.
Matrix is really good at the message store on server - but we're talking 2G+ ram VM for the server and 40g+ disk.
Matrix is way too chatty over the wire for me to call it private, and has a history of being insecure too in some cases.
XMPP was da-bomb back in the day when we thought computers only could talk XML. json was a revolution.
I am not a tech guy, haven‘t heard of XMPP before but it sounds really good, lightweight and flexible, also usable for Voice and Video posts. Do you think #Nostr is the better protocoll in the end though? Why? Curious…
they are very similar in a way.
but XMPP is direct messaging focused while nostr is "social media" focused.
Thanks for clarifying. Is CMPP being focused the reason why it didn‘t work for Twitter? Was Nostr developed afterwards then, not available back then?
Nice job!
Well done :-)
Seems the interviewers brain was not really engaged and just going from the telly prompter to me.
great job! 👏
So Mr Clean works for CNN now? Damn I thought that guy was made for life, sad to see him fall so low 😂
Too bad the interviewer had no fucking idea what you were talking about for even one second
Why not using the anti twiter/musk/trump psyop propaganda to push normie to the nostr open protocol adoption?
Nostr; A social network protocol that is not Musk/Trump/Zuck controled. 🤓
Of course we all know that by definition of an open protocol but not sure that most normie understand that.
Just my 2 sats. 🤙
I wouldn't expect the zealous elevated-eyebrow condescension to be radiated at a visibly gay man. Is it arrogance or concealment of incompetence? I can't tell.
Nice! Love to see the Nostr mention
Just watched. Did great 🤙
I saw this earlier while exercising! Still exercising 😊💦🍋🧂
Yesss thanks for mentioning nostr
Wow, great interview, nostr:nprofile1qqs8d3c64cayj8canmky0jap0c3fekjpzwsthdhx4cthd4my8c5u47sprpmhxue69uhkwun0w4c8xtnxd9shg6npvchxxmmdqyf8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetnw6p4df! Liked how you described early Twitter with Implementierung those ideas coming from Users but also the challenges like hate speech.
And I wasn‘t aware you were one of the first people on nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpxdmhxue69uhkuamr9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshkz7tkdfkx26tvd4urqctvxa4ryur3wsergut9vsch5dmp8pese6nj96 team.
Go #Nostr! 💪🏻
Watching!
> “[was] Twitter a platform, like Facebook, or a protocol, like email? “
… 💥

Well done for your part. Especially with such a terrible interviewer.
Not happy when you mention BS at the beginning. So pathetic
And then said that blue sky was their vision until elon took over lmao not exactly a nostr plug
😂 She is so far out of her depth, it's very funny.
Hi rabble 😉🤟🏴☠️ That’s awesome! Getting Nostr mentioned on a mainstream platform like CNN is a big win for the protocol. You’re absolutely right protocols are the future, and it’s up to us to keep building and decentralizing. The more awareness we create, the closer we get to a truly open internet.

Love the painting on the wall in the bg ❤️
This anchor’s whole job is to read words off a screen, and she is absolutely atrocious at it.
Idk I think she tried to riff off of his response at one point, just not good at it
You did a great job! And it looks like she set you up perfectly to shine a little light in #Nostr
So kudos for crushing a tee’d up shot. Sometimes those are actually the hardest 🤙
Good job, Rabble. She doesn't understand 🤣
Nice work mentioning nostr.
Great interview
