Healthy place to be if you ask me
'If you don't trust the people, you make them untrustworthy'
Can somebody write this in 10ft letters and put it somewhere government can't help but see it every day?!
This is an interesting new spec that will allow you to make threaded replies to pretty much anything: geographical areas, websites, hashtags/topics, urls, podcasts, books, movies, papers.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1233
right now you can really only make threaded replies to kind1 notes and trying to do it on other things is kind of janky. generic comments fixes this.
This could be the death of centralised marketplaces…. Every eBay listing for example: here is a permissionless mechanism outside of eBay’s control for direct communication between buyer and seller. The only thing they have in common is a shared interest in the listed item… interesting game theory there
Yes please. Soon. Please!
That's me. I fix stuff. Would love to meet you at some point. I was inspired by your last pod with nostr:nprofile1qqs0sxxdz722j74u5kvzym4chlualjx0jef32llvdveg98jpqs0tmlgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0lk790h... So much resonated
The new tech makes new ways of trusting each other possible (and actually old ways that the state and big tech, by accident or design, have strongly discouraged, or even eliminated). I think new protocols, even those seemingly in competition with each other, need to become ubiquitous enough to change behaviour en masse. That's where we win. The protocols themselves are simultaneously so important, yet not important at all. The behaviour change is what I look forward to - which is dependant on the underlying tech being there, but also doesn't respect it at all.
I absolutely agree. I remember the shapes… this sort of person respected that sort of person, you could go and find out about/ask about things in places and be respected even though you didn’t know, that sort of thing. But without the specifics. Now the world works differently, I hate it and the memories seem disjointed and pointless as they are no longer reflected. I wish I knew how to bring those shapes of healthy discourse and respect back into reality, even in a small way, but they rely on an assumption of good faith - which is becoming almost unheard of between strangers. Very sad
I already *loathe* all my apple devices, but I’m locked in as everyone I know uses them and my business is built on them (when they were a bit less loathsome). This doesn’t inspire me much. It’ll no doubt make an order of magnitude more wrong assumptions about what it thinks I’m trying to do, what it presumes I actually meant to say/type, the sort of person I am, what my goals are… it’s exhausting with 8-yr-old hardware I refuse to upgrade. I don’t know how to resist, other than by exit. Which leaves me without any tech advantage. And a feeling of hopelessness.

Great summary thread from nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g over on X that is worth sharing here. Some of this is interpretation of course, but make sure you're sitting down.
Have a good one 🧡⚡
Hmm, I can’t seem to see anything Twitter this morning. Frustrating
That is, and isn’t, what I mean. However, it’d make life easier! Thank you.
nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev I am intermittent, so forgive me if this is the wrong place or the idea is already out there: I would LOVE a type of Keet relay (or maybe simplex? Keet seems closer) so I have one point of contact to the outside world that I can respond to via any given device handy, without having 6 versions of me show up in the chat. A kind of bridge; that all my devices speak to that then has a unified voice outside. Could be hosted on nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll or umbrel. Could this be a thing? Or am I missing something?
Battle of ideas, one they think they can win. But getting a lot of people to believe something doesn’t make it true…
Thank you, look forward to this. Keep them coming
Absolutely. Shifts the Overton window in the process; all we have to do is make stuff work so folk can use it when they want to try it for themselves
I learned this through experience before I read it here. I deeply know it to be true
Haven’t found any yet; I keep expecting to. My theory is we need people already familiar with Nostr (probably Bitcoiners) with a shared interest in something unrelated to Bitcoin to have proper conversations here
