I just published a blog post about #Nostr, where I discuss my first impressions, compare it with ActivityPub, and explore the possibilities of Zaps. I'm absolutely loving it so far! https://dri.es/nostr-love-at-first-sight Feedback welcome!

Thanks for the great write up on Nostr and comparisons to Mastodon. True decentralization paired with Zap micro-paymets creating a value for value economy will yield great success for Nostr.

As for Bitcoin's energy usage, just because something uses a lot of energy, doesn't mean it's bad. 🤙

It's great to have a web pioneer like yourself here as we move into a permissionless, decentralized, and ownership fueled new era.

Thanks again!

a very nice explanation.

you write in this post you are concerned about bitcoins energy consumtion!? dont worry. climate change is a cult.

Nice, I broadcasted it at least but you are still unzappable just so you know. Have you attached wallet and and got your nip-05?

Just promoted my Nostr blog post on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Dries/status/1626222882874593280 Not sure how that makes me feel …

*opens my newsletter inbox and sees Dries mentioning Nostr* My reaction with goosebumps whhuuut…whaa!!! As a Drupal developer I didn’t expect to see any Drupal related content here so early! And especially not from you! I also wrote a blog two weeks ago about Nostr, I share the same excitement as you!

Would you like to tell how you did setup the Zap integration on your account?

I don’t believe I have Zap integration set up yet.

Doesn't seem like it! No zap yet but really easy is getalby.com for an adress where others can send you sats.

Pretty great protocol isn't it?

Thanks very helpful for a noob like myself. Interesting. Glad to have stumbled upon you. The open web vision still alive? Are you familiar with Solid and Liberty Project? Will look into Drupal also. Thanks again
