Ricky. Friend. Pal.
Nostr is social media that isn't corrosive. Isn't weaponized to hijack your brain stem for ad rev.
Join us and get zapped.
I like them to signify extremely significant events or milestones.
My favorite is the alchemical symbol for decomposition/entropy. I had it done on my honeymoon as a reminder that my marriage is like any other system - if I stop putting energy and work into it, it will fall apart like anything else.
Worldcoin itself isn't threatening.
It's use to further legitimize the usage and adoption of surveillance technology is where the real danger is IMO.

Anyone know why nostr is playing something in the background on my phone?
There's no sound, and I can pause it, but no idea what's causing it or why.
Recent flight out of Orlando. Florida is very pretty. Way more water than I'm used to seeing (or breathing).
I guess that answers my question from the other day. Very well said.

It blows me away that anyone could listen to the world coin sales pitch and think that it is a good idea.
How far will we get with Nostr when people seem so content to relinquish agency over their own lives in return for comforting promises?
Bitcoin will punish those who don't adopt it, and so that lends to a feeling of inevitability. Even rubes will follow harder money over soft when provided enough hardship from the latter.
But Nostr feels different. The incentives to use it are predominantly to avoid censorship of communication and ideas, but that's at odds with your Average Joe who believes it's acceptable to censor people he doesn't agree with, and that it's desireable to exist in digital walled gardens where they have no control over their online identity or their data.
What am I not seeing that will help push this protocol toward mass adoption? Is it the world outside of dilapidated Western democracies that will drive it forward? All I see in my own life are Americans who don't honestly care about freedom or censorship except as buzzwords their political team throws around.
Honest question, would love to hear other thoughts.
