Just a fear, which still essentially creates a barrier.
Your peace of mind is priceless. Protect it at all costs.
A lot newcomers have spoke about having difficulty finding new people to follow with similar interests beyond bitcoin and typical Nostr talk. There are solutions that exist to do this, but there’s resistance to implementing them because using algorithms violates user freedom according to some people. The onboarding process also isn’t straightforward. Most people have to find a tutorial online in order to set up their an npub and wallet.
These things negatively affect the user experience and are barriers to the platform growing. I know these things take time to develop. I am not a dev, so I am complaining about things that I can’t fix and requesting people to do free labor for my convenience, which is annoying. On the other hand, if you are building a platform, then you should care about user feedback.
Agree. Many Nostr advocates will talk about freedom of speech, while working to ensure that community continues to be an echo chamber for bitcoiners and people with certain political leanings.
This is also why there is so much resistance to tweaks to the platform that would attract a more diverse user base in terms of interests and content. The Nostr community then has the nerve to act clueless about why Nostr doesn’t have more mainstream appeal.
I can find more varied content and discussions on traditional social media, which is ironic considering nostriches view Nostr as a bastion of freedom of thought/speech. Even when reading comment threads on Nostr, I rarely see differing opinions or perspectives shared. There is also a lack of nuance in the opinions offered. The community is very homogeneous and that’s a problem and boring quite frankly.
Unfortunate. Part of me would not be upset if they limited this power to only cases of suspected kidnapping or murder. If opening a suspect’s phone led to a victim being rescued or murderer being caught, then I wouldn’t be mad. However, I do understand the repercussions of a ruling like this.
I hope that these new clients offer users more ways to find new content besides a search box or a global feed with minimal ways to filter their feed.
Content creators will not use a platform that does not help them grow their following.
Sats don’t matter if you only have 10 people zapping your posts. 1 sat isn’t even a penny. YT will at least pay that for each view on your video and use an algorithm to drive users to your content.
The majority of nostriches with huge followings on Nostr already had a substantial presence on traditional social media. Many of their followers just tagged along to Nostr.
Hanging out with friends, making pottery, and soaking up sun in the park.
This is tricky because this was a protest conducted on company property and because Google has their own work place policies that employees agree to follow. Unfortunately, private institutions are not bound by the 1st Amendment.
Yet, people in the US still complain that our government places too many restrictions on guns.
Sorry for your loss! I’m glad reading the book helped you during your grieving process.
There’s a good YouTube series called “Influencer Insanity” 😄 In this one she goes through examples where they get caught lying to viewers 🥲 https://youtu.be/6HR2D2EmnC0?si=m_ig4Yfa1oIoELnn
😂
Just finished reading this book. Beautiful prose and interesting perspective on grief. Highly recommend.
ASMR candy making videos are my new favorite thing.
I used to roll my eyes when I would hear people debating whether we were living in a simulation. Now, I think it’s the only plausible explanation for everything that’s happening 😂
I assume all influencers are lying. They will sell their souls for likes and swag. You would have to be a fool to base your life decisions on their advice.
Intermittent fasting made it much easier to manage my diet. I get to eat more of what I like without any guilt.
