It just occurred to me, due to a nostr bug, that it might actually be pretty cool to have social media hide *who authored* the posts on your TL to force a kind of double-blind perspective. You'd know the post or reply is (or probably is) from one of the people you follow, but you wouldn't be so quick to agree (and perhaps might even be more willing to disagree) if you aren't just smashing the heart button as a reflex because you like the guy. It might make discussions more communal and disagreements less personal if you knew that you're still talking to someone you generally like and respect, but you don't know whether it's "that one guy on the internet" or, like, your actual Mom.

(Nostr, due to ramshackle Tor support, often displays notes from people without correctly fetching their profiles for me, so I find myself liking or replying or following people without having any idea as to their nym or avatar)

You know something funny? Remember all the controversy about the US Treasury minting a $1 Trillion coin?

Well now the situation is so bad, that if they did that, it would have virtually no effect 🤣. It would “fund” the deficit for like 3 months and then they’d have to do it again.

The people who think the govt is the solution to anything baffle me.

Do it! Then he'll be about it

Good morning everyone

me: how’s the trial going?

Audiobook recommendations?

😅🇺🇸 Can’t believe the 2024 US Presidential Election will happen a year from today.

It’s gonna be even more of a shitshow than the last two 😭

Who you got? #Biden #Trump #RFKJr or other?

What issues do you care about most? #CBDCs vs #bitcoin / #Israel #Palestine / #studentloans / #taxes ?

It’s bound to be an interesting year and a monumental election.

Nope. I can say I’m a Star Trek fan. Recently I found myself in the deserts of Dune.

After efforts of avoiding it, I finally started to read Dune. I read 20% of the book and so far this is the best sci-fi story that I’ve ever seen. I wonder if there are nostriches who amazed by this medieval galactic civilization. #nostr #grownostr
