GOOD MORNING NOSTR ☀️

WHEN YOU USE FACEBOOK YOU IMPLICITLY ENDORSE ZUCK’S PREDATORY BUSINESS.

DELETE FACEBOOK.

USE NOSTR.

LIVE FREE.

Now that every social network is pitching themselves more free than the next, our censorship-resistant picth is diluted and ineffective (still true, though).

This is great for us. It will force our Clients to win on the grounds of being better apps than the custodial players.

It's not enough to say we are the free X. We need to be better than X at everything. It's not enough to say Olas is the free Instagram. It needs to be better than Instagram.

This is how we win.

Nostr has lost the battle for censorship resistance.

While WE all know that Nostr is superior because it’s a protocol, people do NOT care enough. They are more interested in what’s written ON the box, not what’s necessarily inside the box.

The people who did care about “free speech” are now placated enough with Rumble for Video, X for short form, Substack for long form. With Meta now throwing their weight behind the movement, it’s game over for this narrative - at least for the foreseeable future.

There is no way Nostr as a brand can claim that space in people’s minds, especially against multiple established brands.

That ‘censorship resistance’ and ‘free speeech’ ships have sailed (even though they were fake), and the people who cared enough boarded.

The normies who never cared, still don’t care, or they found their way to the anti-platforms, like Threads, BlueSky or Pornhub.

The small minority of us still here on Nostr…are well…still here. We’re building, which is great - that MUST happen before anything else.

But if the goal is to grow the network effect here and bring in more people, then we need to find a new angle. Something more compelling that is a “running towards” value, not a “running away from” value.

I’m not 100% sure what that is. My instinct is that a “network of incredible applications”, that don’t necessarliy or explicitly brand themselves as Nostr, but have it under the hood is the right direction, but it needs more experimentation. Also needs more really well-build apps for non-sovereignty minded people (especially content creators) and people who don’t necessarly care about the reasons Nostr was first built.

We’ve been working away at this Satlantis thing for almost a year now and it’s coming along - albeit WAY slower than I would’ve liked. We’ve made a whole bunch of mistakes and at times I feel like a LARP considering the state of non-delivery.

BUT…we made some big changes in the last 2mths since missing a couple key deadlines, and I’m pretty confident we’ll have something cool to show in a month or two.

Let’s see if this approach starts to bring new interest andn activity here. Or if I’m full of shit. Either way, I’m going to keep looking for a better ngle than “free speech” because I no longer think that’s a battle we can win (we can come back and fight that battle when the time is more right, and when the winds have shifted in our favor once more).

GOOD MORNING NOSTR ☀️

STAY HUMBLE STACK SATS

Staring straight into the sun. Highly recommend.

I’m thinking of a number between 1 and 100. First person to guess it I will zap 50,000 Sats. 🎰

1 guess max per soul obvs.

GM frens and enemies! ⚡️🪐💫✨

GM! ☕️ How are you today? 🫂💜

Don't let the handsome snowman fool you, it's January so I'm about to start my first sowings. Whaaaaaat? In January? After all, it's still six months until summer....

Apparently so, but some vegetables and flowers need to be sown much earlier because they have a very long germination time.

What will I be sowing?

🌶️ Hot and sweet peppers

🍆 Aubergines

If you plan to sow Annual Plants remember that most of its seeds need a statification! It means you should put seeds in a paper bag to a frige for around 2 weeks!

If you sow using the Winter Sowing method then you can sow:

🍃 Eucalyptus spp.

🍃Eustoma grandiflorum

🍃Rudbeckia hirta
