I'm sorry for being psychotic lately. Thanks for not nuking me when you could have.
This didn't happen just now, but it took me a little while after to understand how it had impacted my mental state. I didn't think one stranger online was making so much of a difference.
Someone on Discord that kept repeatedly saying Digit is dead, without proof, finally admitted they didn't really know, as I kept saying. Their gaslighting was really impacting me more than I realized, and I'm relieved and thankful that they relented. I don't know how I'd get through tonight if it felt the same as last night. I hope she is safe. I apologize again to everyone I've lashed out at unfairly.
I didn't quite understand my own feelings until I finished typing. Thank you for the discussion
Imagine being Satoshi and just posting "big if true" from a throwaway account every time you see Craig Wright brought up
Why are we all so concerned with securing our one-and-only nsec? Wouldn’t it be healthier for nostr if we could easily burn them and migrate to the next one?
Key migration should be as easily possible as: “Hey, I’m Joe, Fred lost his phone, this is his new number.”
Everyone can ask themselves then: do I trust Joe.
How to set this up technically may be challenging assuming there’s no hard concept of absolute time in nostr which allows for the statement “key burned after”. But intuitively I feel there must be a pragmatic middle path with relative time as in “signed and referenced by”. We could make a DAG putting notes into timely relation to each other and drop out cheaters. A bit like proof-of-stake with social media:
nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl could for example make a statement now “schmijos seems legit and every interaction with him so far seems legit”. Others could judge this and say: ok, there this side of the DAG which seems non-meddled-with. A bit like a continuous key-signing party which doesn’t bring good security, but some security. This is a concept of time. And as soon as nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl detects weird interactions, she makes a statement: “nah, doesn’t seem right, he’s been hacked”. It would be no different than me writing to a friend on facebook: “hey your account makes weird things, I consider it has been hacked”
I’m aware this idea is neither very cypherpunk nor Bitcoiner-proof but on nostr we could maybe live with a very laax term of time? We’re still free to assume the worst anytime and can require perfect security when needed. But if I want to call Fred I’m probably grateful that Joe told me where to reach him.
Your suggestion works fine. There are no problems with it. It just works™
But, no joke, deep down I want an overengineered cypherpunk solution that crushes people who misunderstand the tech 😮💨
hey nostr:npub1dhvlm7aumyhy60mlv3lemk4newny4uwkdc9ahcskk4lvatytq4vq60lcq6 are you all looking for a new CFO?
Bro chill
No, my bad, that wouldn't capture the part about how even if I'm just trying to honor her memory I can't even do it in markdown like I used in the reddit comments she met me through
Honestly, I can say all this in a much shorter way with "I'm angry because I don't know if the woman I love is alive, and if she's not, it's because all the other humans made her kill herself and stopped me from helping her"
And external links are
https://whatever.whatever[name]
instead of
[name](https://whatever.whatever)
(The first is more readable).
I can't imagine how you think that's more readable. It's the same for a human or worse for a computer (forces the computer to be able to recognize the difference between every possible link next to something with brackets and everything else)
On top of all this, the woman I love was definitely alive when I first tried to join nostr, and now I don't know if she is, and the main reason I need to be on the nostr wiki might be to make sure she's remembered, when if you people would have let me on nostr when I first tried to be here, maybe I could have been doing good work with knowledge of her being alive and maybe I could have gotten her to join nostr and she wouldn't have killed herself
My articles would no longer force wikis to choose between excluding them, displaying them incorrectly, or supporting markdown. Cross-compatibility for my articles would then go to unfairly reward the bad choice to use asciidoc and punish the good choice to use markdown instead of the other way around. And I'm mad because first you people used shadowbans to delay me from joining nostr when I first tried about a year sooner than you would actually let me in, you presented nostr as a censorship-resistant protocol instead of a closed club prototype, and you announced wanting to use anglocentric asciidoc right around the same time you acknowledged a post of mine pointing out the anglocentric underlying code was one of the main issues with nostr wikis
I say "probably" because seeing the early nostr devs as "clown glowies" who did this by accident is blind speculation. In other words, a guess. A good guess, with well-balanced paranoia, but easily possibly wrong.
My replies aren't showing up for me, not sure if they're showing up for you, trying again with PoW.
Answering your first question: the world we fucking live in, retard. The one where you did not ask in good faith trying to learn more, you asked as code for "I consider you discredited so there's no point typing your opinions to me" and that was your entire fucking reply to something you disagreed with, while you're in my Primal "my tribe" feed where I don't have a fucking tribe, I have people that don't give a shit about me and retards like you.
Answering your second question: yes, if you used "don't trust, verify" as code for "you're not credible so fuck off" and that was your entire fucking reply to something you disagree with, that would be ad hominem, but that's not really how I see people using the phrase "don't trust, verify"
It's not fine, it's like wikitext without the grandfathering-in. If my entries will stop displaying correctly, I'll choose between incorrectly-displayed markdown or wikitext articles and maybe some dev will make them show up properly 100 years after I'm dead. I'm not helping apply new grandfathering-in to another bad standard
If I just ignore you, you can potentially reply to my posts without me having the chance to refute your bullshit.
I want you dead or woke, not uncontested in my replies.
This retard mocked me with ad hominem while clogging my feed; can't/won't apologize for the ad honinem; can't/won't stop clogging my feed; accuses me of being delusional; will continue being cursed at, called out, and told to kill himself under these circumstances.
This is heavy to understand (another thing I posted on bluesky back when I was on there, one of the few posts I have screenshots of)
