So understandable!! Rooting for you always!
I wonder if this interaction feed helps with initial onboarding.
1. You post to #introductions
2. You get some initial interactions from nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 welcoming you
3. You like or reply to their post
4. Then all of a sudden you have an initial derek feed even if you haven’t followed him
5. You look at notes and replies, and see derek chatting with a few people.
6. You open a few threads and like a few more posts.
7. Your feed starts to populate more from people who had posts you liked.
Seems like a nice organic way to onboard people who might not think about following?
We could use this interaction feed combined with the follow list if the user isn’t following many people at the start 🤔
Derek is the most sound and consistent representation of the nostr ecosystem to date. Had he been available, I was going to pay to travel him to MI to present to the community in my hometown about nostr.

We could’ve had a US President who’s been talking about the power of 3AM thoughts for the last 6 years and longer.

Visited my parents today and saw my mom had put out these 🥹Then I caught up on the news and saw that former President Obama gave a public interview.
Feeling heartened.
I liken the former President to Ta Nehisi Coates. Both say what people aren’t ready to come to terms with yet.

It was ChatGPT Pro until they added Monday 😢 Alas, burned so bright it burned out.

Didn’t watch the final 3 minutes of Breaking the Bird because it brought us to the present where we are.
That episode was rough. Favorite aspect: the lawyer brought in to steer in 2019-2021 is a black woman.
Not much else to say re the rest.
They’re a few dollars on Amazon Video
Knew the Breaking the Bird was going to be a hard watch for me and thats why it took me 2 weeks to view it.
So far there’s no discussion re: China and Russias bots, which anyone working closely on either side of campaign knew circa July 2016.
Had to write another great quote though, from another of my least fav people in the series - haven’t even learned his name because he reads very 🙄. He said
“By that point I’m at the White House as a Chief Digital Officer so…” chill, b. You’re over 25. It reads cringe that you’re enamored by titles and power.
“By learning how to make himself the central villain of every day.” nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240

Brilliant statement re: Donald Trump circa 2016. Catching up on the last ep of Breaking the Bird as I travel home. Yay x2.
