Zuck says Meta is done giving into gov censorship.

Me: Can't wait for $58k again!

Bitcoin: GM! You slept through it, bro.

If you didn’t grow up with dean martin, frank sinatra & the likes this time of year I feel bad for yea

I follow everyone that interacts with my notes. Only exception is if I see shitcoinery on glancing the profile.

The lack of algorithm forces people to invest time to curate their feed. If you're willing to do this, the incentives are alignmed towards positive contributions. That's why Nostr is a happy place.

For the people who salt their drinking water, whats your dosage?

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

We’ve reached the breaking point in this world. Either we are going to flourish or we are going to be beaten down by evil.

Status quo is not an option.

**The Nostr community is thriving.**

Building a community on social networking platforms and now protocols has become increasingly important in today's connected world. The power of social networking lies in its ability to bring people together and create a sense of belonging. When we connect with others who share similar interests, values and beliefs, we feel a sense of community and support. This is why I love our community.

In addition to the benefits of community building, the use of open source software and decentralization further enhance the sense of belonging in a social network. Open source software allows for transparency and collaboration among users. We are all building and contributing to Nostr in this regard. Decentralization puts control back into the hands of users, giving them the ability to shape the network to best serve their needs and values.

By building a community on a social protocol that leverages open source software and decentralization, we can create a space where everyone feels welcome and connected. A strong sense of community and belonging is essential. Thank you for being a member of this thriving community.
