On a digital freedom journey. And trying to nourish the soul on the way.

FWIW, it’s like this thread shook something loose….. some people even took the time to go back and find and answer some old posts. Very kind.

I think you are right, but can’t envision how it’s done yet. Irl communities will be valued and sought after again. The 20 year obsession with virtual community will be a historical anomaly. Like why the heck were people spending millions of dollars on tulip bulbs?

ALL subscriptions should scrutinized. It’s a consumer model that parts people with their resources by default. Requiring a simple monthly re-authorization click/step would destroy many poor business models. It’s about transforming a consumption civilization back to a savings civilization.

Checkout the videos from nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 on YouTube. His educational videos are top notch. If you ever have questions, just ask.

Yes, great explanations!

Also not a fan of ethereium either, I get it. I’m not a dev, but practically speaking… it is only used to obtain and reboot(if needed) your unique id. Using L2 you dont even need a wallet. Otherwise you don’t have interact with it. Not an expert on the history, but my understanding is when Urbit was built 10ish years ago it was the best blockchain tool available at the time. It was a pragmatic choice. And for whatever flaws of that blockchain choice, at the community level it does seem to practically help prevent spam and bot problems. Thus, P2P support and trust appears much higher than here (in my several weeks of nostr exposure anyway). I’m here to learn about nostr. There are some advantages here, but my main suggestion if one cares about learnings in the P2P space it would leave a gap in knowledge to gloss over Urbit casually.

The ethos comment is key. Hard to describe but Urbit is a calmer place to be. Feels more human friendly. Made because things are harder there it’s built in proof of work? It’s a long term project and worthy of the effort. It’s a plant trees for the next generation situation.
