Are you following hashtags? Because that one got me.

People will now pour into #nostr, not for freedom tech, but because Elon changed twitter to X 😂

What do you read, when you see that logo?

A: Crack the Orange

B: Crack the Range

Maybe orange with a thick black outline? Orange on white is too soft of a contrast for some people, but it contrasts great with black and an outline would make it a lot more flexible on different backgrounds.

Unfortunately, I see option B. Maybe if the “crack the” were left-aligned over the O?

i swear i followed this coffee company on here a couple weeks ago and i cannot find the profile anywhere. it was an el salvador based company that shipped to the US. anyone know what i’m talking about? did i dream that this was a thing?

Why does a social media platform use algorithms in your feeds when you obviously follow the people you want to see?

Because they want to manipulate what you see for their profit.

They never cared about what you want.

It’s right there in the tos agreement that you didn’t read.

Nothing you post is truly yours they own it on their platform that you use.

We're proud to be launching Nostr+, a paid service for power Nostr users who want to get the most out of their Nostr community experiences. Nostr+ subscribers will get:

- increased uptime: redundancy in relay infrastructure gets you an expected 99.999% liveliness

- enhanced reach: if someone is following you they are very likely to see your notes

- revenue sharing: every time someone zaps you you'll get a percent of it

#foodstr

Instead of doing it randomly, maybe I should think about doing a handful of heart-to-heart notes on Nostr. Like when I’m annoyed by something, I put it in my Nostr category and write about it here. All my articles, books, interviews, and tweets can talk about my macro stuff, and here I can talk about human stuff. That is so far how I find myself using it.

People need a reason to be on Nostr. For some power users, they have good technical discussions here. For others, the inverse network effect can be hard. Plenty of people join, look around, and leave.

So I wonder, what content can I post only on Nostr that would be useful for helping Nostr adoption? The more I think about it, there are some thoughts I would share to a smaller group on Nostr and not to 600k followers on Twitter.

Even though notes can become kind of immortalized, sharing to a smaller and more selected group feels better. And if it’s a tech protocol I want to succeed, what can I put here to encourage people to come? Should I post my same macro stuff here as an afterthought? Or should I use it to post unique content that somehow feels better expressed here, for now? Seems like that’s a better option.
