Well, you made me discover Nostr so thanks for that 👍

A government can ban a lemmy instance which has to have an IP adress etc., but they won't be able to ban a user on Nostr, and most relays found different ways to fight spam bots.

Very interesting to find out about that, i only knew Nostr by name before

Hmmm, too bad that we can't edit our tweets/messages though, they could have included an history like they do on github...

Oh well 🤷

I agree hugely here. We really need edits on nostr. I do, at least - I mess up at typing all the time.

Amethyst supports edits for Amethyst users, but it won't always show up correctly across different clients.

And sry for futurology.today destroying your account for ban evasion, no doubt that some lemmy users insisted in reporting you 🙄

What a sad world, but 🤷

It's kinda great that everything isn't perfect yet, it gives us something left to do/improve

I think the account is still on futurology.today, just banned from lemmy.ml where they had the Lemmy and AskLemmy threads I would have enjoyed

I'll still keep giving it a try now and then 🤙

Nope, it's an authoritarian permaban with possibly no appeals :(

Say, since i'm new here, is it a scam ? https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsv4rft5zhf6hl4v7pz7me8ysvpwdazry4rv0d92yt0a0txnc0ur4g0t94jm

It's just out of curiosity, since it certainly seems to be so.

I think that bot is just promoting nostr and lightning. Certain users here really love lightning so they want to make sure everyone adds a lightning address to profiles (I'm neutral)

Hmmm, ok, it only gave me the equivalent of a fraction of a cent, but i gave it a temporary mail and a unique password so there's no real loss on either side.

Many accounts are indeed promoting lighting adresses, which is why i didn't know if it was a known scam

See ya !

Have a good one, hope you enjoy nostr 📈

One more thing that you may not know, dessalines is the creator of Lemmy, he's an ancient mod from /r/LateStageCapitalism, has a yt channel where he reads books, and have awesome essays : https://github.com/dessalines/essays

I especially love ~his list of u.s. atrocities(, and actually knew him for that before learning of Lemmy), he made an essay over why Signal can't be trusted, well, he's worth knowing https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines

Thanks for the info 🙏 Didn't really know about him except maybe the name

Last question : out of curiosity, are you also seeing a 👍 instead of a ❤️ here ?

Amethyst suddenly let me choose.

It'd make sense to have a choice of emojis like in discord or messenger, but it wasn’t expected

That's right 💯

You can also do "custom emoji" like discord does, not sure how though

good to know thanks.

i know I can edit, so was wondering how that works across clients.

I can't edit on either Amethyst or Primal, are you using the web version ?

I am using the mobile app, not browser

I am using Amethyst

Ok, i see it now.

I gave up Amethyst because it was bugged, but discovering that i can edit comments make me both give up on Primal, and love Nostr much more.

Like, 𝕏 or Bluesky don't allow it and it's stupid, that's one reason i'll prefer Mastodon.

Frankly Nostr seems awesome, i'm liking it more and more, and thank you for taking the time to inform me on the possibility of editing !

Heads up, your replies aren't showing up in my jumble notifications for some reason (hopefully not on my end)

that's odd. i don't know. i'm dipping my toes back into nostr after trying it out a while back.

I think people have been seeing my replies?

This came through now, maybe me replying to you broke whatever wall was there

Welcome!

heads-up: we looked for a lightning address on your profile but could not find one... u can get a free one at https://rizful.com ... and then reply back to this comment so we can zap you.

You're suspicious as fuck and don't even cite your legal entity, but getalby isn't free and i don't care, here's my lightning adress then kind bot :)

zap sent! how suspicious is that???!?!?!?

Damn, you're not even (only )a bot ?

Interesting, still a few things i don't understand from nostr 👍
