Going on App Store or standalone?
Lacking experience — what did usenet do well that cannot be done better by nostr and maybe activitypub?
Made a homebrew cask for the excellent nostr:npub189j8y280mhezlp98ecmdzydn0r8970g4hpqpx3u9tcztynywfczqqr3tg8 by nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c. Super simple to install the gossip app now without getting blocked by macOS security policy. Verify the checksums in the cask file.
brew install --no-quarantine --cask 0xbabo/nostr/gossip
If you `brew tap 0xbabo/nostr` then you can install with `brew install --cask gossip`.

brew install --no-quarantine --cask 0xbabo/nostr/gossip
Updated, should not need to use `--no-quarantine` option now.

#[0] my nostr extension keeps prompting me to decrypt things on Iris. How do I disable whatever Iris feature is causing this?

New thread to avoid spamming others. Preface: don't buy shitcoins.
How does Rootstock fit into this? Is it 'true' Bitcoin? I like Rootstock for what it attempts to do without a shitcoin. But I dislike it for the tradeoffs therein -- being based entirely on a federated peg that uses obscure signing hardware to channel network fees directly to the founders and their friends; it being a full-bore sidechain that does not validate on or fork with Bitcoin; its use of the EVM which I think is crap in general.
I dislike Stacks for its use of an ICO shitcoin and have been vocal about that with their community. I dislike it for its (currently) centralized nature, with too few nodes and miners driving the network, and still relying on the foundation to pay for developers to build out the protocol and the ecosystem. Incentive alignments are all over the place. Despite this I am willing to dabble and entertain some of their ideas if they are 'good enough' ideas with a chance of working, even if a shitcoin is involved on some level.
One of those ideas is this. Hypothetically, suppose that the Stacks protocol had a trust-minimized two-way Bitcoin peg, using taproot contracts operated at the protocol level, with the desirable property of open membership for operators as opposed to a closed federation. Now suppose that you could then use that pegged BTC *as the gas token* to make payments and use smart contracts, without ever interacting with the STX shitcoin. Then the Stacks protocol would be *at least* as much 'true' Bitcoin as Rootstock; arguably more so.
I agree with you and did not mean to suggest otherwise. Existing implementation is not Bitcoin, just uses Bitcoin in a novel way. Future implementations will change this however, in precisely the way suggested by #[2]
Ethereum cannot read or write to Bitcoin. Stacks can and does and has its own wire formats and op codes, which is why this works on Stacks and not on any other existing chains.
Stacks solved this, but their solution is not on mainnet yet. (shitcoin alert, sue me, etc)

iris.to and snort.social are the best web clients I’m aware of, each with its own quirks
