#Introductions I've been here for a few weeks now and I still haven't formally introduced myself here, so here it goes:

I'm Saskya, I turned 34 today, I'm an activist for a political party persecuted by the dictatorship in #Venezuela and for more than 2 years I've found #Bitcoin to be a tool for financial freedom. In recent months I've had the opportunity to teach more people how to use #Bitcoin and among those trainings is how I came across #Nostr. And here we are!

#Hola #SeHablaEspañol Ya tengo unas semanas y aún no me habia presentado formalmente por aquí, así que aquí va:

Soy Saskya, cumplí hoy 34, soy activista de un partido político perseguido por la dictadura en #Venezuela y desde hace más de 2 años encontré en #Bitcoin una herramienta para la libertad financiera. Los últimos meses he tenido oportunidad de enseñar a más personas el uso del #Bitcoin y entre esas formaciones es que llegue a #Nostr. ¡Y aquí estamos!

LOL! I worked so hard to downsize my routine, and then I went to Korea

I woke up with deeper forehead wrinkles than usual this morning. Occasionally I get a wave FOMO about not getting #Botox . I wonder if I’ll end up looking older than all my friends one day lol. I am not going to do it, I genuinely prefer staying natural, and intellectually I know it's okay to age but that does not mean I am not completely immune to societal pressures and #beauty standards and the fear of aging, I guess.

Anyway. My IG feed is filled with as much #antibotox content as it is pro-Botox content but I would love more #naturalbeauty people to follow here on Nostr. Where are my people?

can’t think of a more rewarding thing to work on: tools that improve human freedom and flourishing. Why aren’t more people working in this space?

If I remember correctly they contacted me and I had a call with a guy from Twitter where he told me Bluesky's goals were to build a protocol for which Twitter could become a client in the future, to which I said Nostr was a perfect match, then he asked me if I would consider becoming the lead Bluesky person they would pick for leading the effort, and I said ok but asked if it would be acceptable if I just used Nostr as it was as "the Bluesky" without considering the other proposals and he didn't know what to say.

Then he put me in a secret group chat with some other people including SSB people, Mastodon people, the GUN guy and people from a bunch of useless IPFS projects. Supposedly the group was gathered to work together in creating this Bluesky protocol, but I read the entire conversation and it was 100% people just shilling their own projects, so I talked a little about Nostr and the first feedback I got was: "how do we ban people? it looks like it would be very hard to ban", so I said that was the idea and the conversation ended. Maybe Jay Graber was in this chat, but I don't remember reading any messages from her.

Some time after that supposedly this group produced a "report" containing all decentralized protocols in existence and a comparison between them, but it didn't include Nostr. I think the group didn't produce anything and this was likely a solo effort from Jay. The group continued its useless, sparse conversation and Bluesky the company was created through some other means of communication.

Nothing stops this (genocide funding) train
