There are those who come here with certain expectations (images don't load, can't find users, DM privacy sucks, no blue checkmarks, ...) and a conflicted mind that doesn't let them enjoy the freedom of chaos. They need it to be wrong and broken so they can handle the dissonance when going back to Elon's private global hellscape.

Then there are those who come and see an infinite space of possibilities and also challenges, they see the beauty in the chaos. They know that this protocol owes them exactly nothing.

They ask: what can I do with nostr what has never been done before? And slowly they realize how big this question really is.

Came down with a viral infection. Tested negative for Covid and strep. Feeling unwell 🙃

On Nostr we can say anything. We don't have embedded gifs though and this wrong.

Why, try to find a gif with the word retard or retarded on X, you can't, they are banned.

If we can't easily post gifs calling each other retards like proper GenXrs what are we even doing here? 😂

VIP parking.. #carstr #car dont worry about the gas we will make it hahahahaha

”A lot of words” can be bad. But it can also be good, if they carry a message in an effective way. Devon Eriksen is his own kind of wordsmith; not for everybody🤷

THE COMBINATION OF SIGNED MESSAGES AND KEY REPUTATION SYSTEMS WILL RESULT IN NOSTR BEING THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT OPEN DATA SET IN THE WORLD.

IMAGINE FADING THAT.

You are not you when you stuck in a not-for-you-job for years. 🥹🚀

"Nostr will fail unless everyone runs their own relay."

Nostr isn't designed to scale in that manner because it doesn't have routing like lightning.

This claim is similar to saying Bitcoin fails if everyone isn't running a node. While it's preferable, it's by no means necessary.

It need not be perfectly decentralized, just sufficiently decentralized.

Whether that means dozens / hundreds / thousands of relays is up for debate.
