My friends are all liberals that believe the btc anti-narrative wholly but also think :
1. Donald Trump as president would mean censorship of their ideas / values
2. The USA could split up within the next 10 years
Yet they see no need to hold corn ? Fking madness 🤷♂️
Defense, while i disagree with our imperialist pursuits, is arguably one of the few things that can be justified as being centralized in a federation...especially when rival imperialist military superpowers exist . Everything else should be wound down if we give a fk about our childrens futures.
Im pretty burned our on the bitcoin podcast rputine, but this one with Calle and Nifty talking lightning + so much more was pretty high signal, highly recommend .
While I love checking out the latest / greatest client on nostr, I find myself gravitating back to my self-hosted iris service used via @npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll . It hasnt been updated for months, lacks features of other clients (including iris.to itself), but fuck it, it's mine :)
its just too new (not only nostr, but clients with community functionality is new within nostr), unfortunately you'd probably need to be willing to bootstrap it pretty hard..engaging individuals on here, getting people in other social media to cross over, fostering the community as the tools are being built in real time. It could be a very long time before it looks like reddit, but it would be incredible and way better if one did it on this protocol and not one that is completely captured 🤙
you should check out or follow the work of @npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr , he is making a client nostrudel.ninja . I believe he has the same desires for moderated communities, and is working on a client that could support this use case 🤙
It's also just a great client, imo
Its crazycthe variation of wallets i can access now just using zeus. I can access my nodes runming at home, ive got my mobile embedded node using zeus LSP ( with zeus pay for receiving zaps), and i can access my fully custodial getalby account, all in one place. Incredible, keep it up nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 🤙
If i zap using my zeus embedded node to another user's zaus ln address for their embedded node...are there still fees ? 🤙
