We have two chickens who insist on sleeping 30ft up in a tree. They hang with the flock, and do average chicken things during the day, but they nix the coop, and are determined to sleep high up in trees at night. Doesn’t seem like the smartest choice since we have owls in the area. But we have an unusual relationship with our animals in that we don’t force them to do things. (within reason)

If they want to sleep in a tree, they can sleep in a tree. Though one encounter with an owl will probably change that, assuming they survive.

How's nostr doing this evening? Was just out all day, picking up the bike from the mechanic again, it's all fixed now and I just picked a direction and rode towards the mountains as far as I could, then turned around and came back..

This is #macambo fruit. A close relative of #cacao.

Ayahuasca can be a a powerful tool for letting go of addictions.

Season 1 and 2 are horrible, but they actually made a good 3rd season. It is more like another season of TNG.

Found this today, a giveaway. Encarta '95 in great condition. How can you throw this piece of history out in 2023?! It belongs in a museum!

Crazy looking bolete I just found #mycology #boletes #mushrooms

I haven’t.

That's definitely something I like about nostr. Have you tried bluesky? Does it not have this element?

People are encouraged to be human. There aren’t any rewards for being a cardboard cutout of another person’s ideal.

Yes! Its crazy how you forget things and a silly tiktok brings it all back. The damn metal nesquik can..

So I say fuck the “global town square”. That’s not what we should be building on nostr.

Instead, we should be building a grand library surrounded by hundreds of thousands of local town squares.

Now that I've had time to sleep on the "ZBD" issue. I feel that my reasoning yesterday for continuing to discuss this client wasn't so much about ZBD itself, it was because of me being shocked an appalled at the toxicity being sent towards ZBD users. We often say how the vibe on Nostr is different and how we embody positivity, but that hasn't been shown the last few days towards ZBD users.

It's okay to bash a client and securitize it's implementation of Nostr. This is how the protocol grows. However, it's not cool to do this towards brand new Nostriches. They didn't do anything wrong. They're mostly just people looking to play games and stack some sats. There's nothing wrong with that.

This should be a teaching moment for them. This should be a knowledge exchange. We do this for new Bitcoiners, right? We teach them about self custody. The same can be applied here. Instead of telling someone why you feel Coinbase isn't the solution for them, you can tell them why you feel ZBD isn't the solution for them.

Remember, we're trying to #grownostr here, so you need to explain everything in a cool and calm manner here. You could even write a long and precise guide so that you can just give them the noteID or link to the web site.

If we truly believe that Nostr is for everyone and Nostr is open, then we should do better and explain better. We're not toxic. We left that conversation on Twitter for a reason, because we want to build and change the future for the better.
