Don’t stay gone too long…😥

USA, I am in you! ✈️ 🇺🇲

A news/opinion/outrage feed is not a network is not a community is not really social media

It's a stream

Not nodes on a graph

A stream from producers > consumers

Insofar as consumers have a voice it's to upvote or downvote the product

That's the corporate model

And why I'm not bothered about the lack of 'big names' on #nostr

Nostr has conversations

That's more important

I’ll still use this npub to update occasionally. I’ll check dms here occasionally.

I will be mostly using #nostr anonymously.

I’m not following or engaging with my close friends accounts on Nostr. We can and do talk offline.

I’ll slowly follow, engage and zap those that I follow on this account because I really really like you folks. I’ll try to pop in nest conversation’s whenever I can.

I’m mostly just excited to post anon! My entire life, especially over the last few years, I’ve wondered if my ideas and words have been strong enough to stand on their own. I believe that speaking mostly anon will force me to sharpen my ideas. There is a small piece of me that is terrified that perhaps I have gotten special treatment all along for various reasons that had nothing to do with my mind, heart, passion, work ethic or spirit. I probably did get some special treatment. I have also received the other side of that coin as well. Unfortunately, like so many I’ve been called every name that a woman can be called online for decades.

I believe that in some cases being public with your identity is necessary to add credibility to a situation, Snowden is a great example. His bravery stepping forward added credibility to his story as a whistleblower. It also cost him his freedom.

I believe in Nostr. I also believe in accepting personal responsibility. I have a responsibility to protect myself online. One impersonation account on Nostr inviting men who engage with my account to my house was too far. This not only puts my loved ones as well as myself in danger but also puts anyone who might show up unwittingly to my house after being catfished in danger. I am a firm believer in private property and self defense, legally and lawfully of course.

If this happened on a corporate tech platform, there are some ways to track down the offender. On Nostr, I don’t have that specific luxury. The good news about that is there are also similar benefits, the government also can’t track me down if I post a meme on Nostr that they don’t like.

I hope that everyone is well. Sending love to everyone! 💜
