I’ve been trying to wait to post on xitter a month later and the tweet is just a link to nostr with simply saying it was posted a month ago

Deleted Twitter account, long overdue.

Hello world!

How I Feel when I engage with Nostr compared to Twitter is palpable

Sometimes life is not what you expect it to be.

Sometimes the person you’ve expected will protect you is the one who hurts you.

Sometimes it’s just Murphy’s law.

Yet, we never give up.

Late night question, which app/interface are you all using for Nostr? I’m on Primal and Damus.

I’ve been off Twitter and all social media except for Nostr for a month now, and the results are hard to argue with.

I’ve started reading real books again (4 this month) and have noticed both my patience and attention increase noticeably. I also feel less angry and anxiety daily, along with being committed to my workout routine.

I found that Nostr has met my social media needs, most importantly, my own ability to self-limit with it. Nostr is a bit ‘boring’ compared to traditional social media because ITS NOT TRYING TO KILL YOU!!!

Controlling your own data isn’t nearly as important in terms of ownership, as it is about allowing that information to be used against you. All of your most intimate thoughts and feelings are data mining by massive corporations specifically to find emotional triggers for you, so they can sell you shit, or force thoughts on to you.

Fuck these people that run these companies that farm our emotions to sell us shit, and to work with corrupt government to censor our speech, sell out dissidents, and destroy our internet.

We are much, much, much more powerful than they will ever be because we don’t need force, corrosion, or permission to run these systems of social connections that they cannot destroy.

My month of social media detox has really lifted the veil from the hate industry complex that are all social media companies today. Stop prostitution your content, thoughts and powers to these shitty companies that enrich the scum of the earth, and empower illegal, unconstitutional and immoral government agencies from their dragnet surveillance.

I’ll make one last tweet explaining this and then nuking my account in the next few weeks. Then I’ll be Nostr only.

I'm going to do another Nostr 101 track at next year's Nostr conference. It's going to be bigger, better, stronger, faster, more weird and include more dad jokes. I'll start working on it a few months. If you're down to educate new and old Nostriches, let me know.

Amplifying this for critical discussion.

Who will run relays in the future, and is there anything that Nostr as a protocol can tweak to improve future relay decentralization?

Next nostr unconference should be right before the Oslo freedom forum instead of a bitcoin conference.

Hello world!

I am news to Damus here.

A nice man tells me to join. Lovely people I meet.

I am bartender in Riga.

Please shut up about bitcoin price maybe. Thank you. I look forward to post things about life.

#introductions

-Treat the arrest of the Telegram CEO as an emergency.

-Advocate for his freedom and for all freedom tech providers.

-Support and build things that function without a CEO, like some aspects of Nostr. When authoritarian Europe or the US arrests you, be able to say, “I literally can’t control it, it’s already out there, and we are legion.”

-Tell me and others, as capital providers, how to accelerate this.
