Nothing is perfect. It’s impossible to create a product or service that everyone will love. The consumer needs to choose what works best for them. The social media companies mentioned target certain demographics and offer different types of online experiences. The same thing will be true for Nostr and probably more so since there is a strong resistance among Nostr community on making it more mainstream. People talk about wanting more diverse people and content on Nostr, but the actions within the community say otherwise.
Another song that I’ve had on repeat lately

This is one of my favorite songs currently. I wish Yamê toured outside of Europe more often because I would love to see him live.

Is it Nostr or nostr? I’ve seen it written both ways. #plebchain
I discovered Nirvana as a teenager, but definitely not 30 years ago.
Nirvana is one of my favorite bands. I discovered them as an angsty teenager, and I listen to their music everyday. Kurt Cobain definitely made his mark. He may not be with us any more, but his music definitely lives on.
Kehinde Wiley, but I provided the wrong image because I copied and pasted the wrong file from nostr.build. I wish there was a way to edit notes or at least link a new note to your previous note, so a poster can easily let others know when they provided inaccurate information.
Here’s the actual sculpture that I meant to post:
Privacy is an illusion these days. The constant consumer tracking is getting out of control. The worst part is companies often use the data irresponsibly or maliciously.
I didn’t realize NYC had earthquakes. I hope people are okay. Between the random assaults and now earthquakes, I’m reconsidering my trip to NYC in May.

Practice gratitude for yourself and all that you are. Self compassion begins with self-appreciation.
I thought that federal inmates only get 54 days max per year off their federal sentence for each year of good behavior. Federal prisoners serve an average 85% of their sentence, at least according to the true crime shows that I watch.
What other relationships is Facebook hiding? Better alternatives exist.
I use Signal. I have also been meaning to try Molly, a hardened version of Signal, but I haven't had the time.

I assume all tech companies are doing this even ones that claim to protect the privacy of their customers. There is no privacy on the web. Don’t put anything online that you don’t want others to know or see.

Kehinde Wiley created this sculpture in response to the Confederate-era monuments littered all across the US that serve no other purpose than to celebrate a failed resistance, white supremacy, and slavery.
This is the actual work of art that I was referring to in my first post #[0] and #[1]. It’s things like this that make me wish Damus allowed people to delete notes.
Wrong piece of art, although still relevant to the topic.
Today is Tuesday, #Artstr day.
& Our theme and challenge today:
Political ideologies, racism, and the pursuit of freedom
We love to continue with #Artstr and hope you will come along with us on our journey as well. nostr:npub1fv9u4drq4hdrr7k45vn0krqy7mkgy8ajf059m0wq8szvcrsjlsrs8tdz3p and I will meet here every first and last Tuesday of the month and challenge each other. Also, we chitchat about art, and share interesting facts & fictions with you.
Art has long served as a beautiful reflection of political ideologies in the pursuit of artistic freedom. This is something I thought Nostr was first conceived upon. It has now woken up a few white catholic suppressed girls and boys who think they also know what it is all about. (They don’t). Art is the peaceful revolution within our world and always has been. For me artists like Kara Walker confront racism head-on, using provocative imagery to challenge societal norms. Ai Weiwei, through his activism and installations, critiques political oppression in China and beyond. Faith Ringgold's quilts and narrative paintings explore themes of race, identity, and social inequality, offering a powerful commentary on the African American experience. These artists dismantle conventional narratives, urging viewers to question power structures and societal constructs. Through their work, they provoke dialogue, challenge perceptions, and advocate for change, highlighting the interconnectedness of art, politics, racism, and freedom. These are the ways to really challenge freedom and maybe not posting nonsense.
So we would like you to use lots of different mediums, Painting, sketches,photo, cutout, poetry, musical piece, whatever best characterizes your art.
The work must be current, no shit A.I Art please that's the only requirement.

Censorship isn’t good but neither is harassment. Let’s make sure that we are using the freedom that Nostr offers to uplift others. Some of you are proving that certain platforms did a good thing by banning you.
