“All we have are the connections that we make”
The digital warfare happening on X is incredible.
Mass manipulation happening in front of our very eyes.
Facts don’t matter anymore. It’s all about perception and rallying the pleb to your side.
Is anyone building a nostr based discord?

Nostr’s core are the developers who build all the apps and servers and other tech we need to make it work. Eventually I hope the tech eventually fades in to the background as users come for the community they can find.
We can do better as a developer community. One of the projects I’m working on through And Other Stuff is making Nostr a better place for developers.
The first step is to listen and learn, to do that we’re working with the open source support group superbloom.
Please fill this out if you’re helping build nostr and share.

If someone speaks fluent Japanese, Chinese, and Thai we would love to translate this in to those languages in order to reach more devs.

What about investing in IRL time with developers at FOSDEM?
We are putting together a pop up Open Source Village nostr:nprofile1qqsr942fqckhszlxkv6zj8zap0q5hmkw43h8xugejz3yxv9pdqs6j5sprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezucm0d9hxxun0wajzuen4dejqz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekkzar50938xtnvdakqwerkpp.
Would be great to have a Nostr day! See also https://opensourcevillage.org
Come to Brussels Jan 24 - Feb 6!
Let’s do a Nostr meetup at the village?
we’ve been cooking. the upcoming redesign of cashu .me wallet is beautiful.
the smoothest onboarding for new new bitcoin users. open in browser, add to home screen, receive ecash.

The concept of mint is very hard for normies to understand (what is it? Which one should I use? Which one to trust? …)
It would be great to enable mints to offer an instance of the cashu wallet already configured for that mint.
Imagine the website of a festival that could offer a wallet that just works and is privacy minded.
Who thought it was a good idea to reveal the password when hovering to copy it to the clipboard?
This was fixed in macOS 26 and somehow reintroduced in 26.1
What's the rationale?
Super dangerous.
The US state of Mississippi has an age verification law that requires social media platforms to identify the age of all users. Bluesky has refused and blocks users from connecting from Mississippi.
Here’s the Bluesky story https://www.myprivacy.blog/mississippis-age-verification-law-and-the-bluesky-standoff-a-critical-analysis/?ref=compliancehub.wiki
And how Mastodon instances are responding https://www.compliancehub.wiki/the-decentralized-resistance-how-mississippis-digital-id-law-met-its-match-with-mastodon/
Have anybody in the Nostr ecosystem considered this? Are clients doing KYC on users? Anyone blocking Mississippi?

Ah would have loved to. I did a workshop on that topic during the retreat. Already back in Brussels.
Not everyone will be able to land a job in this brave new world. Nor everyone should.
That’s why we need to rebuild communities.
Communities can do what governments have become unable to do: create a trusted environment where resources can be pooled together.
Everyone in a community should contribute. But not everyone should be worried about making money.
Do you still dream of building a super successful startup?
What about building community instead?
