Obsidian really is a game-changer for everything. It has helped me organize the lore for my upcoming books and it has also helped me to take much more efficient notes as I learn and do courses. Absolute must-have piece of software for virtually anyone!

I *want* to leave Facebook because it's trash, but unfortunately no matter how hard I try, I can't get my friends and family to use private messengers like Signal, or even alternative social media like MeWe, the Fediverse and Nostr. To be fair, it'd be pretty difficult to get the average person to sign up for Nostr, at least as long as the overwhelming majority is BTC/XMR content. Don't get me wrong, that's part of why I'm here, but we need more creators posting average-day content here. It's part of why I chat about subjects I enjoy, from IT/cybersec to tea to music and games.

I mean, if I can't even get my family members to do a quick switch to Signal, or go through the quick and uncomplicated process of signing up for a MeWe account, I really don't think they're going to take the time to learn how Nostr keys work, only so they can log in and see post after post about Bitcoin.

As for X, I still use it because I have a nice community of folks that I talk with there. I'm generally able to avoid the politics and drama with that circle of friends, we usually just chat about tech, tea, Japan and so forth.

At the end of the day, I'm purple pilled in the sense that I see Nostr as very important, but I also don't think we necessarily have to be Nostr-exclusive. Removing people from big tech networks is good, but we also have social tech that's still really good for privacy and freedom. MeWe recently decentralized using the Frequency blockchain as its means of handling authentication and signing of actions. The Fediverse is fantastic for the fact that it lets you find a community you like and curate what federated posts you see.

Nostr is great, it has a lot of potential, but I don't think it could ever possibly reach mainstream heights even with new features simply because the key system and the lack of content variety make it hard for people who don't care about Bitcoin, libertarian politics and so forth.

Eu uso é segura sim

Siempre que subo a un ascensor sostengo con firmeza la llave, el celular, o lo que sea que lleve en la mano. En el mejor de los casos guardo todo en el bolsillo.

Siempre pienso "que bajón que se te caiga algo justo por ese huequito del ascensor y te arruine, como mínimo, el día 😨". Porque lo complicado que puede ser recuperar algo de ahí... mejor ni pensarlo 😥

¿Cuánta gente habrá perdidos cosas por ahí de la manera más tonta? una verdadera chotada 😅
