total noob question -- what's the easiest way to do it?

I downloaded Aqua on my phone but is that lightning?

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 can feel myself calmer on this app already.

I'm 36 years old, a father of two, and have been an attorney for 11+ years, but I am still getting over the negative programming in my mind about money, people who have money, and the worldly things those people have.

Bitcoin resolves most of this.

Zakat also resolves much of this.

back on nostr using primal

Coming back to nostr after a while to give this a shot again.

I'm back on Primal after seeing that E2EE DMs are coming on Nostr -- I really need to give this more of a shot.

Also good to see that the Android app is on the play store.
