Zapathons are dead and just aren't as fun or meaningful as they used to be 🥹 We need some new Nostriches to participate to make them fun again or maybe we do them less often or more impromptu. Thoughts?

Something funny:

I stopped reporting scams and impersonators on TwiXter because it was just such an awful, slow, convoluted process. And thus the problem gets worse, or at least never improves, because the best tool for filtering is more annoying to use than it is to just leave them be and be annoyed by all the bot responses.

However, the process is so easy on Nostr (Damus in the example) that I actually report all of them and mute them.

It might not always be the case, but my experience on #Nostr is far more bot and scammer resistant than on Xwitter.

If you're so certain you know what is true about the world, and if you're so certain you know exactly what is wrong with the world, and you're so certain you know exactly what to do to fix it, from behind your sensory and informationally impoverished singular viewpoint, then you are out of touch with your own limitations.

When I think I'm starting to believe I know all the answers, I remind myself of this.

As an update, I finished a very early draft of the book I am working on.

I thought I posted this, repeating

You can run your own relay, you can restrict write access to yourself, read to all. But then the person must add your relay to see your stuff

You can open it to people you trust

You. An use the expense relay to require a deposit to access, then take a fee for use or delete notes & take deposits if they violate TOS.

Probably easier to use outside resources though.

I cannot wait for a Nostr client that allows image uploading and posting. Image hosting has a cost association, though. I don't mind paying for hosting. Maybe a sats for images subscription service?

Merry Christmas, stay humble and stack sats
