Cryptocurrency businesses are no longer allowed to send text messages in the US and Canada. And y’all were saying operation chockepoint 2.0 isn’t real https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045004974-Forbidden-Message-Categories-for-SMS-and-MMS-in-the-US-and-Canada
I agree with a couple other comments. This to me is about buffering the scammy companies preying on vulnerable people...
This industry is so full of nefarious people waiting to rob vulnerable people with out recourse. Any effort to cut this down is worthwhile IMO even if it marginally hampers legit biz.
Wait. (Narrowing eyes) Wouldn't it, in theory, be the same?
Doesn't the memory pool get cleared every so often or just backlog?
Or are you implying that bigger blocks would have drove more traffic opposed to say Alts?

At times I'm very in awe of developers and coders. But when it comes to some of the most obvious things... they can be aloof. Apparently the developer got specific feedback on the name and wouldn't budge. Why?!
I think the term is also a math concept...
And I did a deep dive on the developer and he's LEGIT extremely talented. Like top shelf.
But the name alone is so bad IMO it's a barrier for adoption. Branding is everything and the name needs to be, at worst, neutral.

I like the aesthetics/UX of Habla.News but I like the functionality/UI of Stacker.News
Both decent 👌
Been struggling with this for days, trying to test workarounds... ugh
I was looking at the apple App Store section for iOS apps for social networking. And I noticed a few things, first, Meta apps dominate. Second, somehow apple mixes in social media and dating apps in to the same category… odd. Thirdly I noticed that bluesky is ranked #99 out of 100 for Aotearoa New Zealand, where I’m based.
There are dozens and dozens of apps on that list I’ve never heard of. There’s almost no press about them, yet clearly lots of people use them and more are installing them every day. In some way, instagram, twitter, mastodon, bluesky, nostr, threads, t2, post.news, and all these other apps are a kind of high brow social networking.
The kind of projects that get written up in the Colombia journalism review, Forbes, the New York Times, and even TechCrunch.

Then there are tons of other apps, which are used just as widely or more, which nobody every talks about. For years discord was one of these underground apps, millions of users but gamers don’t count, so the press didn’t cover them.
Commanding the public narrative is good, useful, causes folks to want to try new protocols like nostr, but let’s not forget that what matters is folks using it and getting value. Not the press coverage. Twitter didn’t start out with lots of press attention, instead it started out being useful and fun to use for the people on it, ignoring the rest of the world.
When TechCrunch first covered twitter, the big question was, is it interesting at all? Was this the stupidest idea in the history of startups?
Good point ti remember. Press coverage ≠ users, functionality or appeal.
You are invited to a Bitcoin themed party. You have to dress us as a person/thing.
What or who are you dressing up as? I'll go first: "Heyyy heyyy heyyyyyy"
I'm out of the loop TBH on what she's railing on about.
Anytime I hear someone bashing AI and spreading FUD I perk up.
I have empathy though. The thought of Singularity and AI can be existentially anxiety producing.
Fran Drescher is LIT UP 🔥 about AI. Wait till someone tells her about The Singularity. Someone send her a Jeff booth book.... 😵💫
