Huh? Interesting. Can’t wait to see how it is done.

For all Relay owners: Don’t be like this Relay.

Now that I've had time to sleep on the "ZBD" issue. I feel that my reasoning yesterday for continuing to discuss this client wasn't so much about ZBD itself, it was because of me being shocked an appalled at the toxicity being sent towards ZBD users. We often say how the vibe on Nostr is different and how we embody positivity, but that hasn't been shown the last few days towards ZBD users.

It's okay to bash a client and securitize it's implementation of Nostr. This is how the protocol grows. However, it's not cool to do this towards brand new Nostriches. They didn't do anything wrong. They're mostly just people looking to play games and stack some sats. There's nothing wrong with that.

This should be a teaching moment for them. This should be a knowledge exchange. We do this for new Bitcoiners, right? We teach them about self custody. The same can be applied here. Instead of telling someone why you feel Coinbase isn't the solution for them, you can tell them why you feel ZBD isn't the solution for them.

Remember, we're trying to #grownostr here, so you need to explain everything in a cool and calm manner here. You could even write a long and precise guide so that you can just give them the noteID or link to the web site.

If we truly believe that Nostr is for everyone and Nostr is open, then we should do better and explain better. We're not toxic. We left that conversation on Twitter for a reason, because we want to build and change the future for the better.

I did not see anyone attacking ZBD users but ZBD.

#NUC11 + Start9’s #StartOS is a mega combo.

ZBD is the worst of all the centralised shit around LNs, Nostr. Change my mind.

Also thanks for not interrupting Saylor while he was talking. A great example of interview etiquettes.

#[0] I liked Nostur when it was less cluttered, when it was minimal and clean. The different tabs for gallery, articles, hot, etc. just makes Nostur less appealing. Can you make it an option to enable them via settings (for those who need it) and disabled these tabs by default?
