Finally getting a chance to test out Damus. Was using a different client originally, and then wasn’t online much.

Pretty smooth experience!

i once had a friend whose dad had that real charlie munger energy. you know what i'm talking about, that bondholder swagger. he stood out, often forgetting to put pants on in front of guests, and would get into shouting matches with birds that would nurture a grudge each time that he lost. he resented the television, which he called the devil box, and yet could not free himself from its gravity. any child in the neighborhood could give you the measure of the man from a hundred paces, little eyes keen for one haunted by the mungie dungies.

it is only now, with the benefit of so many years' distance, that i see how these two men have always shared a common soul, aside from the fact that my friend's father never tried to persuade us to thank china for banning whatever he had read about with his breakfast. and so i do not expect that our sweet charlie, that poor mister munge, may never find it within himself to voice the unspeakable longing he feels toward the technology that so arrests him, but neither will i hold it against him, for sure as the graven marbles of praxiteles, TICK TOCK HERE COMES THE NEXT BLOCK

Signal to noise ratio on here compared to twitter is insane.

#[0] shout out to Preston giving everyone heads up about this going live on the iOS App Store.

I've only been around for 5 or 6 weeks but this is something that I've always foreseen as happening. Clients are the super tool here. Relays are just dumb backends that the average user doesn't care about. They are extremely important, but the average person on the street does not care about that. Because of this, all major clients will run relays and they'll bootstrap their users into use them. We'll go down the centralization path a little bit, but users will have the choice to use other big and popular relays. I do hope that we don't go full down this path. It's still too early to tell. So, I guess the question remains: how do we make relays more important to users? How do we make relay selection important? Should it be part of every client's onboarding process? Do we advocate for that? If a priv/pub key signs in and doesn't have any relays attached to their profile, then display the relay onboarding process? This still leads to clients choosing a default relay list and most users will never go back and update those again because it's not something we've had to do in the last 20 years of social networking. It will take a long time to change that mentality.

What's your ideal book length for a non-fiction subject?

Obviously a book should be "as long as it needs to be" but from a practical standpoint, what do you tend to prefer?

What would you be wearing, Preston?

The #[6] Express

Rekt 😂😂

Hey Preston, whats a good client you would recommend. Is it me or astral ninja is awfully slow for me

Hey!

Learned today not to look through "global".

Good night, Nostr! We will beat the spammers.

I wonder if that ought to be a native concept in Nostr. A blocklist that relays, clients and or users can subscribe to to filter content they receive/store.

Gorgeous, rough around the edges, but we can slum for freedom 👍😎

#[3] what the reason to recommend something that doesn’t work? 😅
