When nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m was CEO of Twitter and Trump was president there were many calls to ban Trump from Twitter. There were many people demanding Trump be removed because either he violated the TOS or because they saw Trump’s tweets as dangerous.
While catching up over kombucha at the Square office, Jack mentioned some of these conversations and how there were compelling arguments on both sides. He asked lots of people what they thought twitter should do. So he asked me about Trump and other accounts, like Richard Spencer’s and the alt-right.
I’m very anti-Trump but I said I thought Jack shouldn’t ban him, because he’d face a shareholder revolt. Everyone said that it was Jack deciding things at Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg for the meta empire, but that wasn’t really true. The real power is in the money and that’s shareholders and advertisers.
I can only imagine what a hard and stressful job it would be to decide what can and cannot be said in the public sphere, as twitter effectively was at its height. It was an impossible job, one which shouldn’t exist. Jack did incredibly good at managing to find balance, and everyone hated his decisions because there was no right answer.
The reason for Bluesky, and now Nostr is to make it so no company or person has that kind of control. That the public sphere that is social media shouldn’t owned or controlled by any corporation or government. When something of value is held together without being ultimately owned by a person, organization, or government, the it is held in common.
What we’re building together on Nostr is a commons. By making it a commons that’s held up by our software and contrbution as users, we escape the trap that caught twitter.
A commons where we come together to make and sustain space.
A commons where we can do business freely without someone who can arbitrarily shut us down.
A commons where groups of users can decide the rules for themselves, and everyone doesn’t need to follow some universal set of opaque rules.
Didn't the Twitter Files show that both the current regime and the prior both had access to Twitter and influenced decisions on who to ban, and censor? No offense, but I feel like this note is lacking in some of the explanation of what actually transpired at Twitter. Hunter Laptop, COVID, vaccines, etc. But you are right, this is why I'm not on Twitter and here.
Not sure I entirely agree. The address(es) would have to be for the exact amount of the car, and the dealer would still need to spend the coins to an address only they control. I think fedimints/ecash is a more likely scenario. Lightning is interesting and I think might end up mostly custodial. Very few people in the future are likely to control their own UTXO's.
Yeah, I'm using the stock fans. I think startup of the unit is the loudest part. After that it's pretty good. I use the default settings for chip temps too.
Currently using braiins OS and their pool. Pretty straightforward flash of the OS to the SD card. I used etcher. Here's a pretty good tutorial.
🤔 Will there ever be a "delete" button on nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955
Turns out, the "delete post" function is not even possible despite that some clients "allow" it.
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and nostr:npub1h50pnxqw9jg7dhr906fvy4mze2yzawf895jhnc3p7qmljdugm6gsrurqev address this question head on and explain why there's no second thoughts on #Nostr 🧐
It really is a 'request delete' function. I've done this where some relays will honor the request, and others will not. As long as the one relay still holds the note, it will still appear in most clients.
Did you tell them that "these boots were made for walking"?
Deleted Twitter (I mean x) off my device today.

I deleted my account about a month ago. Haven't looked back. Good for you
