Thank you for sharing this info. It really helps me understand Nostr from the dev's perspective and be more patient with any tech issues considering the challenging decentralized objective.
Does that mean that I need to add more relays?
Pretty good! You? How's Nostr today? I just logged in, and here's my incessant #asknostr question of the day.
If I like and repost a person's note from one client, those actions don't seem to show up in other clients. Is that normal and if so, would it be the best practice to like and repost, etc from multiple clients so that more people see it?
Prices under Biden were horrendous and that was the main reason Dems lost the US elections according to AP, but how will tariffs on US allies solve anything?
Thank you for the welcome! I'm flying solo and, while I have wonderful sources, I really need a whole team to get accurate info out fast.
MORE US MILITARY ARRIVES AT GUANTANAMO: WHITE HOUSE
Trump's executive order directed the Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to expand to full capacity (30,000 detainees).
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem drew parallels to the CIA torture prison where an overwhelming number of detainees at GITMO were found to be innocent:
“There might be some resources that could be established for the worst of the worst at Guantanamo Bay..."

$3,000 INCREASE IN CAR PRICES EXPECTED UNDER TRUMP TARIFFS
Trump’s tariffs against Canada and Mexico will threaten auto production across North America and send record vehicle prices even higher, with a quarter of a trillion dollars in trade set to be disrupted.
Trump blamed migrants and drugs over US borders and large trade deficits for his tariffs which are set to take effect at 12:01 am Tuesday, giving manufacturers less than 48 hours to figure out what to do.

ZELENSKY IS UNAWARE OF $200B US AID TO UKRAINE
Ukraine President Zelenskyy says Ukraine only received around $75 Billion in weapons (not money) of the $177 Billion in aid sent by the United States.
"When they say that Ukraine received $200 billion... this is not true. I don't know where all this money is..."
On January 25, the Trump admin froze aid to foreign countries, including Ukraine.

Thank you, I'll try it but the amount of times people have told me "it's easy" is hilarious. Also, after all of the tech issues, I'm a little less motivated to connect a zap wallet. Larger amounts seem like it would be outright unwise. 😳
Well, I mean, most of us are just volunteers and the few that get paid, are kept on such a low budget that they struggle to retain staff.
We have like 10 people working on our nostr:nprofile1qqsggm4l0xs23qfjwnkfwf6fqcs66s3lz637gaxhl4nwd2vtle8rnfqprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qfqwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx26tww4hxg7nhv9h856t89eehqctrv5hsz8rhwden5te0w35x2cmfw3skgetv9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsjmvd7t project and none of us earn any money for it, except zaps and subscriptions. So, we can't fully concentrate on the project and coordination is haphazard because we're all off at our day jobs and side-gigs.
Well, except Primal, but even they aren't high-rolling like Signal or BlueSky or whatever. I think Signal was just doing a $50 million dollar funding round, for what is just a DM app.
This seems important. 🤔
Ohhhhh... so backers are putting more in. Very intriguing that the 2024 seed round involved crypto backers, even though Bluesky says they won't take that route. 🤔 So the question is, what are those backers getting in return? 🧐
Dear Lord, not another app.
It explained that my social credit score was partly based on the people that I followed. Now I'm scared to follow anyone, haha.
This is true. I have a very low social credit score (3) on one of the apps. I was like, wha? I JUST signed up.
Ditto is working GREAT, although 'great' is a very relative term, lol. I can get by using different apps for the basics. And that's okay. I'll take it. (Disclaimer: I might feel differently after the wine wears off.)
Ask me about the mass block lists. I think I was on all of them, lol. And I was mostly just reporting the news.
Does Bluesky have big money behind it? I did not know this. I thought Dorsey was the big money before the mob ran him off the platform.
