Me: I'm going to fork and tweak the default Jekyll theme a little

So called 'tweak a little':

An observation I made as a self-driving car developer:

Predictability of a car's behavior matters A LOT. A self-driving car might be the safest as in cautious, but if people are unable to guess what it's about to do, there will be problems, even if it follows traffic laws better than people. We had dangerous situations because our car was way too cautious when people and other drivers expected it to behave the same way as them.

Literally the first time I've tried HTML and CSS πŸ₯΄

Every social network has its requirements and constrains. If I want to write a long post, I would have to split it into several posts for Mastodon and Bluesky (split differently β€” Mastodon allows 500 symbols whilst Bluesky allows 300), and many Nostr clients just don't display articles.

I think the best option is to have my own website where I would publish all my random shit and then post a link to it on multiple social networks. Why is it not the default way of building an internet identity?

Social networks come and go, but my silly articles should stay, hehe. I'm thinking how to make my website pretty and comfortable to read.

Well, I'm not a web tech pro, but from my understanding:

1. Account transfer to another Mastodon server is pain in the ass.

Servers can block other servers, and the server users have no control over it.

Some servers are managed by enthusiasts who can suddenly decide to shut down their server for reasons like no time and/or no money or just because.

2. I don't see how Bluesky is decentralized now. Maybe it will be someday, but considering how governments like to block random stuff, the default instance bsky.social can be suddenly blocked as well. You can also get bamboozled from the Bluesky side.

Since Bluesky mostly uses its servers, it needs money to run them. It's still not clear how exactly it will get revenue.

I might be wrong about something here, feel free to correct me.

You’re not the only one. HUGS πŸ«‚ When I first arrived to #Nostr ( over a year ago) almost every post was about #bitcoin.

Deciding to carve your own niche is possible though oftentimes (IMLE) most won’t understand. Guess that’s to be expected.

There are many different entities here & deciding who & what to follow is the users choice. The lack of algorithm here is nice once you learn protocols etc. You may be aware of this but as a non-techie I wasn’t. The learning curve has been steep but worthwhile.

I remain Always a late joiner to most things when it comes to technology. Example: my first time on Twitter was 2022. πŸ˜‚

Please know that one of the good things about Nostr is being able to develop your own content & owning your content. I’ve seen this play out for others. No: I won’t try to get you to buy #bitcoin either because there are others if you choose that route.

My bluntness can often seem abrasive to many but I say this with love: here goes:

Many are either addicted to the drug of social media or are in a chokehold when it comes to Twitter.

In the past: when some asked me to give them the courage to leave Twitter or X my response was this:

Define your values. Doing so will give you the right answer.

This seemed to work for many, though most are still on BlueSky even today. We go on.

Be who you are. It’s the best any of us can do. Nice to see another writer here. In the past I did fan-fiction. Mocking others etc. Poetry has always been my favorite genre to seek to understand the world. Looking forward to seeing more of what you write ✍️

Welcome πŸ™

Wow that's quite a answer! If people like you (non-Bitcoiners) have been staying here for a year, I might have a chance then hehe.

Same with Twitter, I only joined a few years ago and left like ~2 years ago. Life is definitely better without shit storms that happen on Twitter on a daily basis.

What I like about Nostr is this place is absolutely alive. Somehow (different people using different clients with different feed algorithms, apparently) users react to what I post and it doesn't disappear in the web void. Hell, I didn't even expect anybody to read my rant,

I'll probably keep posting my random observations πŸ€“

Nostr is a little less popular than Mastodon or Bluesky. If one googles social networks with anti-corporation philosophy it's inevitable to see Nostr put in the same sentence as Mastodon and Bluesky. Those two aren't perfect, so I decided to give Nostr a chance (which is not perfect either), and here I am. Out of all 3, Nostr seems to have the least fundamental problem since it's not the protocol design as far as I can tell, but the lack of audience variety. Yeah, Bitcoiners are everywhere here πŸ˜… Some redditors even publish posts like "Non-Bitcoin accounts to follow on Nostr". Seems like it's not just me, many people would like to join.
