That one has always been my favourite but the whole blow up doll thing is hilarious as well. Nutters!

Everyone seems to be giving #nostr advice to new hatchlings today. My 2 cents:

Engage, keep it weird and remember that humour can commonly err towards the Dudley Moore end of the spectrum

Standard conversation with missus before going out when visiting there last year:

You got cash?

Yes, around 3cm, you?

Yup, 4cm..... we should be good

#nostr. The anti-ego of social media.

Been calling it Plague island. That was cause everyone always seems to have a cold but now they have way more plagues from stupidity and blindness to tyranny and lawlessness. Seems apt

Just compared following and follower count on Amethyst, Ditto, Primal and Coracle. Verified all relays consistent and get totally different numbers. The only social media I did pre nostr was Faceache until around 2012 when my feed went mad. I've therefore never truly understood this whole influencer nonsense but appreciate their need for consistent metrics to try to monetise people. Seeing zero consistency on nostr is extremely satisfying and hope it continues! 🙄

Like seriously, who cares. Engage, try to add some form of value, learn, don't be an asshole, and have a little fun. Surely this is what social media should have been about in the first place.

You are too kind sir. I will pass that on to devs. 🫡

There's another element here. One of incentive. My situation finally incentivised me to move to somewhere I had considering reloacting to but had been putting off. It also further incentivised me to start other businesses to try to recover the lost time. I now have another business which is, whilst not huge, very successful and provides lots of employment, as well as another couple that I've invested in and given a little help with. I am currently looking at trying to set up another whilst at the same time, trying to encourage some friends to look at the idea of pooling together to pay for some devs to try developing a new little idea for nostr. One can take a beating from thieving government and give up, I've seen that in some people in Spain who simply stopped trying to expand businesses due to the hellish environment there; or one can take the punch, get up and be more motivated. That's a personal choice
