Just deleted Twitter today and already am missing the people I followed for news. Would love to find some people on Nostr but seems like only bitcoin for now…
Probably a stupid question but what’s up with the “Pura Vida”?
Love me some baklava! Please share!!
Just added a LNURL to my profile. Would someone mind sending a zap to test? Much appreciated!!
Interesting. Does this allow you to see their DM’s as well?
One of the best parts of my week!
Just started reading Mandibles after hearing #[0] go on and on about it. Yikes. Scary stuff...
Matsapulina’s case is hardly an isolated one, though it is especially unsettling. Over the past year, numerous dissidents across Russia have found their Telegram accounts seemingly monitored or compromised. Hundreds have had their Telegram activity wielded against them in criminal cases. Perhaps most disturbingly, some activists have found their “secret chats”—Telegram’s purportedly ironclad, end-to-end encrypted feature—behaving strangely, in ways that suggest an unwelcome third party might be eavesdropping.
These cases have set off a swirl of conspiracy theories, paranoia, and speculation among dissidents, whose trust in Telegram has plummeted. In many cases, it’s impossible to tell what’s really happening to people’s accounts—whether spyware or Kremlin informants have been used to break in, through no particular fault of the company; whether Telegram really is cooperating with Moscow; or whether it’s such an inherently unsafe platform that the latter is merely what appears to be going on.

Good to know. I typically only use Telegram for Robosats notifications. Seeing this has me rethinking that now...
