Library genesis is a godsend
Almost every book I've been reading over the last few years for free cost over a 1000 INR

An excerpt from one of Swatantra party's pamphlets in the 1960's.
India was indeed asking the most important questions back then.

Initially, zaps felt very similar to likes and reposts. But once my brain adjusted to the fact that there is real money involved, I started becoming conscious about the kind of content I zapped.
For example, if I received zaps for a particular note I put a certain amount of effort to create and post, I would want to hold on to it or zap another note that I feel has done the same.
I have seen bots too but I too block and report them. The user experience on Nostr for those who have learnt how to navigate it is incredible.
There's this annoying factor called 'Stickiness' that skews their decision-making. They have to prioritise retaining users because that's what makes them valuable. Any feature that increases stickiness will take priority over everything else.
In Nostr, Amethyst can set a direction for itself that is different from Primal and not care about retention because the stickiness is much much lower here. I switch between the two all the time because both give me different kinds of experiences that don't necessarily overlap. I love it here on Nostr.
As long as your node's degree centrality in the lightning network's graph doesn't go up, it's fine.
If more and more nodes have to find paths that go through your node in order to make a payment, it becomes a problem.
I don't think the number of channels (edges) matter, as long as payment routes are found.
Localised information networks are better and more feasible.
Knowing what information is relevant and what isn't is a necessary life skill.
Ohhh boy this is indeed true
Wait what 😂
Is this bot activity on Nostr or Twitter?
