I’m glad to hear this. While listening on YouTube, I encountered the "Something went wrong" error message.
I was concerned they had removed it for some reason.
I’ve been thinking and writing about this all morning. It’s fucking amazing.
I’ve only been here a few days but it’s been a pretty amazing. Interactions feel much more authentic, conversational, and community based.
I have close to 100k followers on FB and IG for my photography. I’ve created so many lifelong relationships through those platforms, but Monetization and Reels have severely fractured the community to the point I no longer even participate.
It looks like I found my people once again 🔥
Elon acknowledging that users can be shadow-banned and labeling coordinated actions from verified accounts as spam raises serious questions about the integrity of this centralized system.
Imagine if verified accounts, “blue checks,” begin to mute Elon. Would his reach decline? Almost certainly not. Would theirs? Probably.
But what about accounts he aligns with? Do they receive algorithmic boosts? This seems likely based on patterns we’ve already seen.
And what about dissenting voices? These accounts are already facing shadow bans, reduced reach, and even removal of their verification status.
This isn’t free speech; this is algorithmically controlled speech.
Elon seems to advocate for an environment where his and the majority's speech remains uncompromised, while those who don’t subscribe to mainstream doctrines are perniciously filtered out.
This type of governance, shaped by opaque algorithms, highlights the dangers of centralized platforms.
The only way to stop control is to let go of it entirely. It’s simple in theory but impossible in practice for most.
If only we had an open-source, permissionless, censorship-resistant protocol that no centralized authority could control or manipulate that aligns with free speech principles to ensure that no entity can decide whose voice is artificially amplified or silenced.
Oh, wait…#Nostr. It’s good to be here with you ✊🏽
I was this week old when I found out nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m and others have been raising the alarm here for quite some time. Doh 🥴
I’m behind the times. What else have I been missing?
Shill me your favorite accounts…I’m interested in #Bitcoin, #Marketing, #Photography, #MusicTheory, and #HealthAndFitness.
Thanks for the zap nostr:npub1gl23nnfmlewvvuz7xgrrauuexx2xj70whdf5yhd47tj0r8p68t6sww70gt ⚡️
Nostr has been giving me 90’s AOL Warez and VB chatroom vibes 😍
I didn’t realize this was public information.
I caveman tested the feature out by muting and unmuting a bunch of accounts, haha.
Why mute when you can cull? Feelings 🙄

For sure 🔥
I replaced all of my old hangers with cedar hangers. My closet smells amazing.
The Bitcoin protocol is neutral, but interpretations of it are often not.
Most subjective interpretations of its utility are made through a lens molded and polished from within a flawed system.
For the fourth year in a row, I'm on a quest to resist the tempting pull of the Home Alone Lego house 😮💨
Tones for daze 👏🏽
This is the second time that Homestar Runner has come up in conversation today.
I haven’t thought about those in probably around 20 years.
