How about we build on principles instead of just recreating the existing system.

People don’t care about eating healthy either but that doesn’t mean we should shovel them garbage just so that they will consume our product.

KYC is the illicit activity and fuck anyone who is bringing that shit into the future with us just to comply with the state or to win in the short term. nostr:note1ajazmpwymp2xu7200968qd6256a9gyuyj5t5vx8uhxwhmacyrvjskwet8u

you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink

This sounds like the best approach..the future oriented, privacy and freedom conscious people are and will be rare. Masses will not follow and we have to accept it..and stop praying for mass adoption. But WE SHOULD NOT STOP BUILDING AND MOVING FORWARD!!

Fun! Fun seems a good principle. A lot of what centralized social media does decreases the genuine good time that we can have. Zaps and zapathons perfect examples.

But it's a social app, unlike a healthy meal, a social app is not useful if you're the only user.

Maybe doesn't need mass adoption to be useful but it needs more than it has, and more discovery tools / community tools.

100% this.

Also yo I’m getting “error fetching Lightning invoice” again when I try to zap this note 😞

My node is down. Its all good I’m not doing this for zaps

Yes but I’m zapping you for doing this 😂🤝🫡

Invoice please?

Hopefully we will answer the need for better.

We are the resistance. The technical hurdles for Nostr are a heathy and low barrier against bots and npc’s and the fact that we can’t edit, delete, or remove posts is incentive to think before you speak and ties up the censorship regime.

People in massive social media platforms are herded around for a reason. Forcing people to think and be technically proficient is a path for more heathy online systems.

There were bots a little while ago. Maybe they fixed some of the relays

WE AREN’T NO ONE. WE CARE A LOT.

I spoke to a friend about Nostr. Apparently there are alot of people who actually use throwaway accounts on reddit to share personal information. Like the AITA and such.

I think a good feature that I would welcome is key management. Like an HD wallet. Many keys, one keyring, associated to like a tapsigner or something.

A Reddit replacement for personally sensitive information would actually be see some value in some of the de-facto anonymity of nostr. Just a 🤔🤔🤔

Fundamentally the “problem” with nostr is that it’s a Twitter clone.

Why would a normie move from twitter to nostr? We did because we care about freedom of speech. The network effects matter more to them.

If we want to move the world off twitter, we have to design something different and better where they spend more time.

The alternative is to just build stuff for ourselves without caring whether other people use it.

not to mention the competition with activitypub, bluesky(lol), threads, elontwit. It’s a way more saturated market than when twitter launched.

The only thing that will get people’s attention is having a large set of solid apps that are fun, where you can easily switch between securely, and all have zap integration. That’s the world I want to live in. We’re not even close to that yet. We have a few almost usable apps.

yes, we need some serious man hours spent on building them out to some polish

and stop with this twitter cloning fixation

we need to make long form built in easily

we need to integrate the media uploading fully

we need the markets to work

we want to kill facebook, we have to king hit on every point they do to win

Well write on the copy thing.

if we are smart enough should we build only things that are usefull without checking box that are outdated.

we are not printers !

it's hard to say exactly how we will catch the market but we are a swarm of cyberhornets and we are all looking at different things and we have a different target and we will plant our sting into every thing that we see

Oh boy ! that mean u are on a agenda cuz everyone knows that hornets have a central commander, a queen. A single point of failure.

Like usual it will fail. Good luck w ur sting things.

Nostr is real.

time will bring understanding.

Some people care about eating healthy. Health is a good principle.

i love that fucking analogy #[2]

Let me share a truth with you. All exchanges have ceased legal activities with Iranians. They've implemented KYC and added Iran to their blacklist. They talk about freedom, but their actions are different. They assess Iranians based on their government's performance. We are the main critics of the Islamic regime in Iran. Let's institutionalize the #Bitcoin philosophy. Although thousands have joined today, soon many more will follow, and the world will be freed from the inequalities perpetuated by immature politicians.

Would love to know if you run into any issues on nostr and what we can do to help. I saw something about data issues, so its something i’ve been aggressively working on in the past few days (text only mode)

No, I haven't seen any negative things on Nostr yet. After 3 weeks joining here, I really enjoy it and found many supportive and amazing friends.

Keep going 💪

How might we make nostr more accessible, and easier to use nostr:npub1rt65j4vnd05qf72szpj8afdd5hrkylka7pe55lup8waquv0wm9sqjj0y9g

Kyc only becomes more intrusive with time and serves nothing but tyranny. The last thing I said to bank manager in Spain before finally getting my funds and leaving the country was:

“You literally know everything and have every bit of paperwork. You seem to be saying that’s not enough for me to have my money. The only thing that is left that you might ask is the girth of my cock. Considering my wife is here, just ask yourself if you fancy fight her cause she won’t appreciate hearing the question”. Finally gave me my funds. KYC is just a scam to steal. But maybe there’s also a problem with acronyms beginning with K seeing as you bring up food.

Let leave KYC and KFC in the rear view mirror!

Yeah I don’t think people don’t care but they don’t want it to be a ton of work and friction and there has to be appeal beyond just decentralization. Dumb sounding stuff like stickers, skins, etc rakes in Fortnite countless $ and it’s totally silly and not even a core function of playing their game.

I wish I knew methods for non-kyc that were faster. Currently it takes me at least 5 business days before I can buy non-KYC. So when the dip comes, I just give in and buy it KYC

Tell that to the nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg wallet
