I believe they do do that at onboarding. However all their categories are linked to bitcoin. Eg music = bitcoin music, memes = bitcoin memes etc

It is very smooth to use tho.

And the sidebar when you go to a profile page is actually good. The trending sidebar is diabolical.

When you say brought me back, do you mean you were here before? I think the onboarding on primal is bothersome, it pushes bitcointwitter personalities and styles of posts, both in recommended users and sidebar. This is a terrible first impression. People would look at this and think 'ah this is just for bitcoiners' and leave, unless they are after bitcointwitter2 of course.

I don't really have beef with the Primal influencers, personally. I think it's just poor marketing. The only way Primal can think of growth is through convincing more of bitcointwitter to join nostr. This is either because they don't really know anyone else exists (some people think bitcointwitter is the whole of twitter), or don't care, or prefer to just build bitcointwitter2.

They can obviously do whatever the hell they like, including continue building a bitcointwitter offshoot chatroom.

I just don't think primal should be suggested as a client to anyone interesting.

I don’t use Primal because, unlike the devs, I like t-shirts.

Joking aside, I’m here for weirdos and outsiders. If corn influencers carry on the way they do for much longer, I’m switching to USD just so I can maintain my niche identity.

Nostr slowly grows because weirdos find it by rummaging through the bins down the pissy "decentralised web" alleyway. It also has some bitcointwitter 'people' who join because they saw the 800th video of some bitfluencer pay for a cappuccino with lightning and mention nostr. There's too much focus on catering to the latter and not on the former. The weirdos tend to leave after a while unfortunately.

I mostly blame primal.

anyone successfully vibe code nostr relay connections with Replit Agent V2?

it kinda looks like it’s doing the right thing, but it has not been able to successfully make connections. I’ve reprompted it several times, but haven’t gotten it to work yet. if you’ve done this I’d love to hear the prompts that work for you or other hints I might give it to connect properly

GM ☀️Time for my monthly dose of good vibes/sats in the feed 🫂💜🧡☀️ will zap 30+ Nostriches 500 sats⚡️

Let the zaps flow ⚡️🌊

Comment so I can zap

New people don’t get much engagement because established users don’t follow new people so they leave. They feel like they are talking into the void (because they do). Even commenting on notes doesn’t get you that many followers.

This is why it’s so critical for Nostr to grow or it may very well die. Without new people, the number of users will shrink over time. You need relatively new folks to engage with other relatively new folks because they’re more likely to follow each other and stick around.

Don't know what happened but my lightning address is gone. I guess that's why I stopped getting zaps.

I need to make a new one anyway it was just the primal one and it's annoying only being able to use zaps on primal anyway

“All intelligence is collective intelligence”

Working out is communicating with the intelligent hivemind of cells in your body. The things you do have a cause and effect on agential cell intelligence and the subsequent actions they pursue.

Is the singular “you” even a valid concept, since “you” is the result of mass cell coordination with no central operator. Maybe self is an illusion, an emergent result of trillion of worker cells.

What if we better understood this communication network. Lots to rethink about in this new framing. #biointelligence

What is the Loopnet? How does the implemented coin negatively affect the network, more code more attack surface or...?

What is #Monero from a philosophical approach?

—Monero is counter-economics as an anti-state way

—Monero is privacy as a way of freedom

—Monero is voluntarism as a way of money for free trade

—Monero is Agorism as a way of life

It’s funny to think that one day the tattoo fad will end and there will be this huge segment of the population permanently branded as idiots.

Tattoos on women in particular are an excellent signaling mechanism though, and the article touches on that. Imagine dating or hiring a woman who tells you upfront, “I’m impulsive, damaged, and don’t understand the long term consequences of my actions.” That’s helpful knowledge for potential mates and employers to have, but that information may not have been properly conveyed without such an obvious visual cue. So, in a sense, the real value of the tattoo isn’t so much to the bearer, but rather to those who see it and understand its implications.
