I find nothing on #Bitcoin nor #Nostr in the articles I find. They are only talking about crypto and web3. (And coinbase...)
Hi I use Plebstr from time to time. But it runs kind of slow compared to other apps. Which is a dealbreaker for now for me. But apart from that I think the UI is really great!
Please zap #[9] for creating the awesome #Nostr logo!

Great work! 💪
One small suggestion: It would also be great if hashtags show up in bio.
How can you unfollow hashtags? Because if you go back to the hashtag page, the button wil still be follow instead of unfollow.

Only works if you're following someone.

This is fucking awesome! This is starting to look like Instagram and Twitter combined in one app!
The inclusion of the headline of the London Times in the first bitcoin block was activism in my view. But the act of creating bitcoin itself not really.
And if I base myself on the definition I find on Wikipedia “Activism (or Advocacy) consists of efforts to promote, impede, direct or intervene in social, political, economic or environmental reform with the desire to make changes in society toward a perceived greater good.”, then activism is exactly what you describe in your first paragraph: “asking or begging or pushing governments or companies to do something differently, to start doing X or stop doing Y”
So or Bitcoin activism is totally decoupled from the term activism itself or we have to call it differently. Something like building an alternative society from the ground up.
And maybe it’s just me, but you’re not doing yourself a favor by calling yourself a Bitcoin-activist in my view.
Just so you know: this comes from a place of love. I admire your work, keep doing what you do! 💪
I would argue that this isn't even activism. In my view activists don't built.
I use Bitcoin because I don't like to ask permission to use my own money.

I would give people the option between sats and proof of work. In this way none bitcoiners can also enjoy a spam free environment and bitcoiners are not bothered with this process.
Amethyst user here. For me it works fine!
I just zap. That's all I can do for now. Keep up the great work! 💪⚡
