most of them are either mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or both. would love to see some sort of non-governmental entity set up some sort of program where they buy a shit load of land in the more sparse areas of the US, build housing units for the homeless, allow them to clean up and get proper counseling, then provide high quality training, either in the trades or with technical skills like cybersecurity or programming. when they’ve finished their training and are ready for the work force, they’re then set up with partnered companies in their area of expertise, provided they are not sent to work in the same location they were when they were homeless, as not to surround them with the same environment that enabled them to fall apart in the first place. after that, who knows. haven’t thought too much further than that. just brainstormed a bit so obviously some issues here but 🤷🏼♂️
you fucking got it
my old one died, so this is my new girl. 
There was actually a social that did this! I had an extension that tried this and it was kinda neat but never caught on.
This would be interesting to revive as a Nostr app because it leverages a network that doesn’t *depend* on its success to work, it’s simply a feature that Nostr can do that others can’t.
Could have it collect all Nostr references to that URL to scroll through.
This also shines another big light on nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m ‘s point that search is possibly the most important function for nostr to have its highest value. 🤔 nostr:note14wlcwq6hqw7w359pfyqm4wl2clw9jrt8y5nh0c26ej8xjkqyqtts9lyezg
this guy is a fucking idiot if he thinks anonymous internet yelling will drive the price of a house down 😂
gm nostr!
theory: we do indeed live in a simulation. bitcoin is a virus introduced by the brave men and women trying to get us out.

Today, I had a conversation with a friend's acquaintance who expressed a desire to "do something about social media, to create something that is ours." She was unfamiliar with Nostr and only vaguely aware of Mastodon, though she had heard of Bluesky and Threads.
She represents the ideal target audience for Nostr. Once I explained our project, her excitement was palpable. Although initially skeptical about Bitcoin, she showed interest in an economic model not reliant on advertising and was open to exploring alternative models.
Several key points emerged from our discussion. Firstly, the ease of joining and locating acquaintances on Nostr is crucial. For instance, the process of installing TestFlight, then navigating back to nos.social to click a link and install Nostr via TestFlight, proved challenging. Her attempt to Google Nostr nearly led her astray. nostr:npub1a8jzweysxa9qmtmht874736aalm0lwdsl306nrys9d05ktlrhw3qcr5pj4 i think, this underscores the need for someone with tech marketing/communications expertise to overhaul nostr.com. The current site should be repositioned as developer.nostr.com.
We must simplify the process of finding and connecting with known contacts on Nostr. It's essential to communicate the value proposition of Nostr to new users, whether they learn about it through friends or media. Our focus shouldn't be on creating more content for Bitcoin enthusiasts, as there's already a plethora of information available for those familiar with wallet operations.
Another aspect that stood out was Nostr's multi-app nature. Nostr isn't just Damus, Nos, Amethyst, or Habla.news. It's a platform where various apps can operate using the same data, contacts, and services, all under the user's control. For those with a developer mindset, the sheer breadth of projects within Nostr demonstrates the vibrancy and scale of our endeavor. Projecting this magnitude is crucial for attracting users who are deciding where to invest their time.
I believe we could benefit from explainer videos that highlight why Nostr is both important and interesting. During our conversation, I showcased various apps: Primal for a web social feed, Habla and Yakihonne for longer-form blogging, Flockstr for events, Wherostr for geolocation, and Highlighter for layering different functionalities. These examples illustrate the diversity and versatility of our platform.
I didn't delve into Nostr nests, marketplaces, Wavlake, Streamstr, and more, but it's clear there's much to explore.
This conversation has led me to believe that we should proactively share the Nostr story, positioning it as the future of social networking. This approach will also help us differentiate from platforms like Threads, Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Bluesky. While these platforms are based on open protocols, they operate as single-app, vertical silos.
Our unique offering is the unified 'login' across diverse apps, granting users not just control over their algorithms but their entire app experience. They can even use multiple apps simultaneously.
The impact of a single Thai TikTok video in attracting a Thai user community to Nostr exemplifies the power of targeted storytelling. We should harness similar strategies to broaden our reach and influence. Talking about how this is a whole new way of social, not just one app.
