1. Try to solve your own problems 1st 2. Offer value to your fellow human 3. Be honest 4. Stay humble and stack sats 🤙 ₿ 🚀

I was a victim of their “spam” detection algo a few months ago too. It sucks. A “spaceship man wasted billions just to keep censoring people??” mindfuck. The silver lining was that it helped me discover this tech and community, so it was a pretty big blessing in disguise.

#nostr just decentralizes these spam prevention measures though. It’s up to individual relays to be smarter and fairer than spaceship man’s employees and tech. #bitcoin fixes a bunch of crap too but it doesn’t stop people from being inconsiderate dicks to others and there’s no guarantee of the problems being fixed forever.

Nostriches (and bitcoiners) will need to stay vigilant for a loooong time. The future really depends on our daily choices.

I thought it might have been the @ too. I guess your zapping version lost the ability to embed notes, or my zapping version lost the ability to render them 😂

Some guy’s Reddit clone https://non.io got to the front page of Hacker News the other day and I wanted to reach out and let him know that he should try porting the backend to nostr…

Are there any nostr based Reddit clones yet?

What paid relays am I using? Well, mostly the same ones that I've been using for 5 months with the exception of the nostr:npub1vxfg5aqvj3juvzflry2t9m8fn7u4r0dttjtv099ntn2l2e0h9n3qzxhunh BitBlockBoom relay. All of them have been very stable and work quite well.

Why use a paid relay?

That's simple! I like to pay for services that I'm using. I know that running equipment costs money. Also, using paid relays allows me to reduce potential spam in the Global or Universe feed.

I’m running one at wss://nostril.cam if anyone wants to test

Couldn’t zaps just be handled by the wallets with a share sheet extension?

That must get old… eventually?? 😂

Yeah but then I gotta convert the whole family to make it all run smoothly… they like their devices. Besides, the target nostr user won’t do any of that. I’m still devoting a lot of time to understanding bitcoin so I can educate others. Not being able to zap using app store apps doesn’t seem worth convincing everyone in my circle to drop Apple

Manufacturers/carriers definitely don’t want you using their devices however you want last time I checked. As much as I hate being so far into the Apple ecosystem, especially after this, there’s no free lunch. Android users are paying for it in other ways. You might not be giving your data to Google to sell to the world but pretty much everyone else you know is. I’ll definitely pay more for more freedom & privacy and it doesn’t have to come Apple. (preferably not)

The ZBD app been rebuilt on top of Nostr? 👀

“The ZBD app is now a Nostr client with full capabilities,” says Zebedee co-founder and CTO, nostr:npub1rvg76s0gz535txd9ypg2dfqv0x7a80ar6e096j3v343xdxyrt4ksmkxrck

This showcases that companies can rebuild an existing, closed community platform application onto Nostr and gain access to all of Nostr's capabilities and access to the entire existing userbase of Nostr. This move grows Zebedee's area of effect and ecosystem instantaneously.

When I was researching setting up a paid relay, the only instructions I could find initially involved setting up a KYC account with Zebedee.

Didn’t want to touch that with a 15 foot pole. Kind of shocked that #[3]​ would be there.

My phone wants me to perform an update in part because its CEO can score Woke-ESG-Points™️ with a new gay pride 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ wallpaper.

Supposedly that platform is good for privacy though

…until Tim Apple and his 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ phones take over the whole fucking world!

Stack sats and stay humble my friend
