What the heck? Imagine buying an oven but you have to pay a subscription fee to go past 400 degrees? !? I better keep my mouth shut or it could happen 😬
And these types will use verses out of context and bais their beliefs about Christianity on their own misinterpretations.
We're homeschooling. We want to socialize our child by connecting with other local homeschoolers.
- There are literally zero local groups who maintain a current website of any kind.
- They use Facebook groups exclusively.
- They use GroupMe chats to organize and discuss goings-on.
- All signups for co-op classes or activities are done with Google Forms.
- All documents that are shared are through Google Docs.
- Photos from activities are shared on Facebook.
- Nobody involved knows that any of this is a problem.
I am completely lost on how to regularly participate without undoing all my hard work. Right now my plan is to duplicate their privacy-violating services with FOSS and self-hosted options, then try to find a few who will consider using those instead. They're tolerating me currently, but one is already obviously frustrated that I can't just be found and added to groups with the app.
I was blindsided by the ignorance of the homeschool community. There's very little thought present of freedom or sovereignty, in privacy or money. Everything is permissioned, centralized, and doxxed.
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. We'll keep on keeping on, but it would be nice to have some switched-on locals to supplement the good Nostr crowd.

I see the same with homeschool groups where I live. I grew up homeschooled. We had a very large homeschool group get together at our church once a week and did outings together on occasion. We even had a group that would go on vacations together! No Internet at all...All it takes is one or two people willing to coordinate it all, no Internet needed at all. Technology kills human interaction sadly. My suggestion would to just be the coordinator over forcing others to adopt a new platform. It will require more work though.

We just launched Opportunity Cost!
It's a browser extension that converts prices into $BTC as you browse, while protecting your privacy.
No more fiat illusions. Think in #Bitcoin.
🧵Here's how it works.
https://www.opportunitycost.app/
What it does: Opportunity Cost automatically detects fiat prices on any website and converts them into BTC in real-time.
From Amazon to Airbnb, you’ll instantly see the true cost of your purchases.
Why we built it: We live in a fiat world, but the future is Bitcoin.
This tool helps you build "Bitcoin intuition" by training your mind to measure value in sound money, not debased currency.
Key Features:
1. Real-time fiat-to-BTC/sats conversion
2. Dynamic display: BTC for big numbers, sats for small
3. Works across all websites
4. Customizable display preferences
5. Lightweight & fast
6. Totally private
Opportunity Cost is 100% local processing. It doesn’t track you. It doesn’t send data. It’s fully open-source.
Supported currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY, INR, CAD, AUD, CHF, SGD.
More coming soon.
Start thinking in #Bitcoin. The sooner you do, the sooner you escape the fiat illusion.
Install the extension. See the signal. Ditch the noise.
Sats/sqft is the standard for home pricing now.
