Yeah, a couple weeks ago I was a bit more active in trying to jump in on some Nest discussions but there weren't very many to be found so I kinda lost interest and dropped off a bit. My life has just been one hectic event after another this summer anyways so I probably just gotta wait til I get more settled here again.

Nothing lined up yet, moving everything down there at the end of the month but I'm gonna stay at my parents for a few months here in Chicago and finish up my current job til the end of the year. My GF will be living down there starting in September. After the holidays I'll move down there full time and hopefully get a job lined up quickly. Yeah, NM, just outside of Albuquerque.

Still boxing up the house, I've got the U-Haul ordered & ready for the 19 hour drive over Labor Day weekend. Excited!

Biggest complaints:

- Bitcoin echo chamber / not enough variety of content

- Difficult to use (my guess is these people have only tried it once 8 months ago lol..)

- Feeds not busy enough

- Toxic to web 3

My thoughts:

I bet we can solve a lot of these complaints just by asking people to select some topics to follow in onboarding and doing away with global entirely, or make it an optional thing. It seems global is responsible for turning people off because they see a bunch of spam / too much bitcoin content and or some other crap.

Topics solves some of this - they will see more focused content.

Better navigation UX can help - like browsing hashtags (see primal).

The network effects thing IS a challenge. Have to have users to create content and have to have content to attract users. Lists could help here. Even something as suggesting a list of RSS feeds that post on Tech news for example would be helpful. We already have RSS feeds for all sorts of stuff but they are difficult to surface.

Engaging with non-bitcoin content can help too (if you find it interesting, probably don’t want to force it).

Other than that I am not sure how to get more non-bitcoin users here other than creating a “safe space” for them where they don’t see that type of content at all. Whether that’s a bitcoin-free relay or a client that specifically mutes bitcoin terms via a pre-defined (user can still modify) mute list, or something else I can’t think of atm. nostr:note1j5cx3j3h7prnr46yyfa4akllsjach4qxhnzu0tu4pcgh3afcj0qs5rd0w8

Nostr feels a bit like a High School clique which turns me away for stretches. The culture feels kinda forced and lame at times as well.

I know we're still super early but that's just my honest opinion.

Dude's totally batshit and melted down during this show but I still love his music anyways & scored this sweet band signed poster 🤣

A collectivist mindset is a centralized mindset that can be co-opted and controlled.

An individualist mindset is a decentralized mindset that cannot be co-opted and controlled.

Now you know why the establishment agenda advocates for collectivism.

'Conventional Wisdom' is just another term for Normie or NPC wisdom.

Challenge this 'Wisdom' at every opportunity you're given.

Basically they're telling us they want their 'privacy' money to incentivize them to sell their house and move into a cardboard refrigerator box.

All Monero shows me is how to have your wealth debased by #Bitcoin

This is how you know climate change is a hoax. The same party that advocates for climate change is the same party that vetoes bills that can help build out clean energy grids like nuclear.

Doesn't web3 have it's own shitcoin for a 'decentralized' social media client?
