nostrudel has a bunch of functionality like this including seeing other users lists and following them in a click
Dunno how I missed this but nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu has made a great intro to nostr - explaining how it works, why it's important and why the whole of the free world will end up here 😁
A great link to send curious pre-nostriches:

Don't look then 😉
And 100k is nothing.. ..like dreaming of $300 when we were at $240 for ages
By the way ibuprofen is really bad, they don't tell you. It literally killed my dad.
Aside from what Nostr has taught me about Bitcoin, I’m so fucking grateful to have been introduced to decentralized social media.
Prior to being on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg , I didn’t really talk about the things I care about on the internet. It felt counterintuitive and dishonest to talk about health on centralized platforms that consciously make us sick.
I’m so thankful that Nostr has given me somewhere to start playing with my voice. It has given me hope and community.
I’m wholly convinced of its ability to create a free, autonomous, creative, and connected global community. A healthier society.
We just need to keep sparking our neighbors’ fires.
welcome 😀
it's a pretty good time to be alive
primal on the streets.
nostrudel between the sheets..
Yeah that's gotta hurt!
It's not enough to buy bitcoin, however early. You have to believe in it to get rich 😀
I kinda make my own clothes - or at least radically change the ones I buy.
Takes a lot of time but I love going out and knowing everything that goes into people's heads about me is what I wanted, not some corporation.
In my country anyway it's insane to look around and almost everyone is wearing large font expression of some company's language.
That's definitely where we're headed. And way beyond.
Consider that with nostr anyone can implement their own platform, or features. Anyone. And everyone on nostr will already be registered and can start immediately.
Well honestly "shouting" doesn't feel like it's going to be very good for your soul wherever you do it.
I suspect nostr will become like twitter eventually, because people really are susceptible to this kind of addiction, and will demand it. (Tho at least here the algorithms can be open source.)
So maybe check back here in a year or so and it will be able to supply the feelings you want. Especially when eg telegram users have been driven here. And who knows how long Elon will hold out against the entire western government elite.
Personally I found it a relief to be able to escape the manic compulsion that twitter instils in you, but still feel connected to something.
"Dopamine doesn't exist for no reason. I tells you when you're doing something worthwhile, at least when it's functioning properly."
Chris do you think that relying on a closed-source algorithm to tell you what you're doing is worthwhile, by literally controlling your neurophysiology, might have some downsides?
"Nostr is the opposite of that.".
Well, yes it is 😁
I invite you to consider that you might be addicted to the dopamine hits you get on twitter and if that's really how you want to live.
better management of lists / feeds / filters and groups of content generally.
feels like this can be a huge strength of nostr to really make this configurable by the user
at a minimum i'd like to be able to directly add an npub to a feed or list without going via listr.lol or something
can imagine doing that with more sophisticated searches / filters
Another reason I'm skeptical of the "top-down" thesis is the fact that covid has made things much, much harder for the elites.
Things were going along nicely with climate change. No big jumps to put people on the alert. All roads leading inexorably towards communism and no obvious obstacles, hardly any dissent. But with covid they woke maybe 10% of the western world up to the fact they were being lied to systematically. Those people will never believe anything they're told now. Things are much, much harder for the elites as a result.
So literally I think that the most plausible "top-down" thesis, for covid anyway, is one where the elites are benevolent, and actively trying to wake people up in order to free humanity. Not saying I believe that - the bottom-up thesis seems far more likely - but I cannot see covid being part of any rational strategy for global enslavement. Unless the elites are retarded, in which case I think you end up with bottom up anyway.
Haha die happy 😊
I am optimistic, as you are. Every new tyranny to me is a blessing because it brings forward the day humanity throws off it's chains.
But we're a minority I think!
95% of people can't handle that they are individuals with responsibility for themselves.
That's why they'll do anything - really anything - just to follow other people, no matter how insane or cruel.
The concept of "winning" is how they get you.
He'll come here when he's banned from everything else - just like he'll use bitcoin when he can't use anything else 😀
It's weird he's so against it. He talks about getting into in 2011 or something. If he bought any and held it I'm sure he'd be saying something different - and the fact he's against suggests to me he is bitter about missing it.
El gato malo talking about how we need an open protocol for social media.
If anyone follows him on X or substack, now might be the time to tell him the good news...
