Okay, it’s my first #zapathon what’s the deal?

It’s a beautiful day in New York

It’s boring

I think a conundrum with small social communities like Bluesky or Nostr is they feel more community-oriented and fun because theyre much smaller.

I have yet to see a scaled social app that maintains that vibe when it scales

I think that size brings out the worst dynamics nostr:note1xpm2azpvexa40yrv93lwfhx7eur2eseth50e746cf4tgxx0d98kquwz6fp

Im excited to see what happens…

As someome who has wasted years on posting with little reward, the zaps concept is actually genius

Finally monetizing my shitposting 🙏

Thriving so far

It does seem like clients could be designed to facilitate a pseudo deletion though, basically just hiding the post, which I think would make a lot of sense.

Is there a philosophy behind that?

Given current cultural dynamics, I think it would not be great at scale — I think most people when faced with an online mob would want the ability to delete a dumb post.

I think in smaller communities it’s fine, but i’m not sure I fully understand the reason why it’s appealing.

Would never censored good vibes

Yes. In the original version we were more specific but it got changed in edits.

#[0]​ i would love to hear your thoughts on the DeSantis announcement on Twitter?

Musk framed it as historic for the platform, would you agree?

And overall what were your thoughts on the whole thing? Were the mistakes preventable?

I think for a lot of people it’s hard to disentangle bitcoins roots from how it’s developed.

But I also think crime, and the negative in general, are what media has tended to focus on for a long time, and oftentimes what audiences respond too.

Additionally, journalists are incentivized to investigate, and get big stories exposing bad behavior, so sometime

Coverage can end up slanted towards those stories over the good aspects of certain topics/technologies.

Good editors assign both types of stories.

#[1]​ my first question I’d love to hear more on nostr:note1rw9mr72e5gauccwjkpg6pquxds3funx3davga0000qvzkx6r0xyqtal5r2

Okay, I’m fine with open interview! I’m sorry we didn’t get to chat before my article was published.

I genuinely would like to know about your interest in RFK jr. Do you see him as a viable candidate and what about the interview you shared resonated with you?

Do you see his appeals to the crypto community as genuine?

Or am I reading to far into yo ur posts?

That works for me

So it seem like RFK Jr is openly courting the crypto and bitcoin communities.

I’d love to hear what people on Nostr think about him, and about his reputation and viewpoints.

#rfk #btc #nostr

#[0]​ Open invitation to chat about Nostr, RFK Jr, and whatever else you’d like to talk about. Send me a message.

Thanks Daniel! Just noting that I tried to contact Jack via Nostr before we published our article. I’d still love to chat with him :)
