You deserve what you tolerate.

Soon the blue check will become the digital scarlet letter. nostr:note1h6kma7jgxkpjrhm7uadg8unjpev4wdnprfhtqfnnq4m7l4dvws0qwzwhdc

Annnnd it autocorrected you name 😬. I’m off to a stellar start this morning.

Marie! Good morning to you too. ā˜•ļø

It’s a balmy 8°F (-5°F with the wind chill) in the Tropic of Cleveland and we’re staring down the icy barrels of an extended deep cold front.

Ordinarily this would be a day to crank up the fireplace, get a little hygge, and spend some laid back, quality time with my wife. But not today. Today, we have an order to fill for our floral business - a pair of birthday bouquets for a customer’s mother. So, it’s off to the wholesaler this morning and down to Stow to deliver some floral joy to someone’s very special and much loved mom.

THE NEW COLOSSTRICH

Not like the brazen giants of tech fame,

With corrupting bias astride from land to land;

Here at our sat-zapped, V4V gates shall stand.

A mighty nostrich with a torch, whose flame

Is the silenced voice, and her name

Fren of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome, her laser eyes command.

The decentralized harbor that relays frame.

ā€œKeep, ancient networks, your storied algos!ā€ cries she

With silent beak. ā€œGive me your censored, your monetized no more,

Your deplatformed masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your tyrannical shore.

Send these, the digitally displaced, twitter-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the purple door!ā€

Welcome to the newly hatched nostriches. You’re home. But, this home lacks some of the comforts you’re used to - and that’s a good thing and what makes this place special. Take time to understand how it works. Ask questions - everyone here is happy to help. Use the #asknostr hashtag to amplify your questions.

Interact. And zap. A lot. It’s how you’ll find your people and how you’ll find engage. Without an algo, it’s up to the individual to come to the table with value - be that challenging discourse, sharing ideas, creating art, music, and other content, and, of course memes.

With a little effort, you’ll soon find you never want to return to centralized platforms. And, as you do, be a beacon for your circle who are still languishing on X, IG, Facebook, etc. The sooner those platforms are abandoned, the sooner their control and influence are gone.

It’s a brave new world over here, and we’re all glad you’re part of it. Nothing left but to create notes and send zaps. šŸ¤™

Whenever I hear this song I immediately think of Pure Moods.

Did #bitcoin just hit a new ATH out of nowhere? What is going on? #btc

The flood of new #introductions today is a thing of beauty. Welcome, nostriches and be free.

nostr:npub1qqvt0m3nlvjnssmrn33w9yh7cuq2dx5nkz8wxax9hk5hrjdnj4jqz8cn3w has been consistently nudging him towards Nostr, and he recently tweeted that he was getting started over here. Haven’t seen a post from him yet, though.
