Nostriches! If you are interested in the future of building communities on #Nostr, please follow this new account for Ditto:

Ditto is a self-hosted server featuring a community-centered Nostr relay with a built-in UI. Each Ditto server hosts its own community of users, tied together by a common identity but free to take their keys and leave at any time.

We're going to have a lot of updates in the next couple of months.

Please boost for visibility!

Hello fantastic nostr people. I was blown away by your incredible support when I posted the below note. I had 10+ job opportunities pepper my inbox within hours. What a powerful statement to this community. I was overwhelmed 🙏 and now I have a new job! Here's the note from a month ago; scroll down to find out more...

nostr:note1x43202egs5umrqec6d76dsjl6z7ylr6hkmctes2rpat7sa22e7msq5m69n

Over the last month I have weighed many different opportunities, and I am excited to announce that I have accepted the position of CTO for FanFares.io run by nostr:npub1md39ua3h2s7204a7v5p9sdxmxx9qc7m4kr3r6naeuwfznad6d7nsxpctp9!

nostr:npub16lvpp8hyxetuuczk4kjx2vqxhwmyruc72r59ysmgrsnjg5rcz8kqk07j3k is building an open source PWA that enables podcasters and content creators to publish and monetize their content via nostr rails and lightning micropayments. There are tons of exciting things coming that I'm excited to talk about in the near future, like at BTC Prague 🤙 see you there!

I am still deeply committed to ONOSENDAI and completing my OpenSats grant, which Simon has been fully supportive of, so my schedule will allow for this.

I'm not sure about the future of Yondar since my company ran out of funding to develop it, but it's open source so I have faith that it will live on somehow.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work in the nostr space. I am grateful for my 16 years at the marketing agency where I started my career, but this next step is much needed and a perfect fit.

So, thank you wonderful nostr people for supporting me and showing your care. It has meant the world to me. I am SO ready to put 100% of my time and focus on nostr and bitcoin development. I feel like my work at FanFares is going to have a measurable and immediate impact on nostr and bitcoin adoption and I can't wait to get started! 👾💜

Congrats!! that's awesome 🥂

The past few days on Nostr have demonstrated the growing need to nurture curated communities that have the ability to limit exposure to unwanted content and focus on connecting with like-minded individuals.

This was always the goal of Ditto — to #GrowNostr by providing a tool for creating these community-driven spaces.

Ditto allows communities to manage their content experience on both a server and user level, all while maintaining the freedoms we know and love about #Nostr.

Learn more about how Ditto, currently being developed by nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6, can be used to deal with harassment and build stronger communities on Nostr.

I never said to anyone I was bullied. I did not leave because of what someone said. I was looking at my own behavior and not liking how I was acting. It’s not because I’m a woman and you’re a man. It is actually possible for someone to have issues going on besides what you see and hear on the internet.

Basically, I never had social media of any kind besides nostr recently. At first, it was such an awesome experience and I truly enjoyed being a part of it, but having access to that many people and that many opinions at once became overwhelming. I started to notice trends and felt pressure to be a part of them.

I think what triggered me was the assumptions and it shouldn’t and it’s not your job to make sure I’m feeling confident with myself. It wasn’t one occasion, but there have been many instances where I have made a joke or said something outlandish and the immediate assumption is to judge and educate me. Contrary to the speculation, I have in depth researched seed oils and actually make an effort to avoid certain ones, but don’t judge myself for missing a label or my patients who cannot afford to change their diet (I know it’s insane to imagine, but I actually have a master’s degree in science and much of that degree was in nutrition).

So why would I care? Why do I let it bother me that my entire life, I have felt automatically placed in a “dumb blonde” box? I still don’t really know. I honestly don’t even know if my own assumption that everyone automatically thinks I’m dumb is even true. I’m a human being and I have flaws. I really don’t mind admitting that. That’s one thing I like about myself, when I see something I don’t like, I’m honest about it and make an effort to change.

Those closest to me know what has been going on in my life offline and I appreciate and adore every one of you. In conclusion, my experience on nostr recently has illumined a new opportunity to grow and work on something I didn’t realize was an issue for me. I just felt like I was all of the sudden interpreting and becoming argumentative over insignificant things and that’s never been who I am. Nostr is not the problem. Men are not the problem. I am. I only have control over how I behave, speak, and interpret life. Lastly, I encourage everyone (myself included) to understand the difference between fact and speculation. There have been many assumptions as to why I left, but the only person who can answer that question with any ounce of objectivity is me.

P.S. I’m fine. I’m smoking a joint in the bathtub reading a book. Please don’t worry about me. Hopefully, I will be back soon when I’m ready.

You're so real for stepping back when it's getting to be unhealthy and being willing to admit that! More people should probably learn from that...

It also seems to me this situation revealed a lot of frustrations that were just below the surface ready to boil over. Nostr is still young, and I do believe that those frustrations will need to be addressed for the longterm growth of Nostr. I'm optimistic some projects currently in the works can do that!

Anyway, will miss you and hope you take care and come back soon! 🩷
