I 💜 nostriches

If you're gonna consider the psychedelic route ibogaine should be considered as well. Has been very successful with addiction

I skipped season 2 and forgot about it but was told season 3 was good so I gave it another shot. I really enjoyed it. Worth it for the TNG nostalgia.

Interesting article getting into signal's new quantum resistant cryptography. Technical enough to be interesting but easy enough to understand for a dummy like me. I suppose bitcoin may take a similar path at some point in the future.

When I first started reading I thought for sure they were going to ask if Russell Brand was being monetized through your node.

Nor have I. Never got the appeal.

Ha just realized I got distracted and thought this was on the thread asking about differences between bluesky and nostr

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

A lot of people have a hard time in the bear market. They get tired, bored, lose confidence, lose heart. Not me. I just sold my last chair and I'm having a great time.

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.
