I was accused (by nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft​) of "trolling my own position" and purposely harming Nostr's reputation because of an alternative social network I'm about to launch with a token attached, but I would like to say that the accusations are true, but even if it they were it wouldn't make a difference because no one is seeing these notes anyway.

Young adult (aka teen) sex is like motorcycle riding. Mitigating danger through education, helmet rules, etc can make it enjoyable and safe.

When you follow nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac for some dry wit and even drier tech, and then your feed is suddenly full of romantic pondering, flowers, and butterflies.

This thing is pretty badass ✨

Now that the 1.7 appstore release is out, the damus team has started working on v1.8 testflight (unreleased)! I will be doing a video of whats new in 1.7 soon.

The 1.8 testflight will be for purple members only, so make sure to grab a membership if you want to start testing some new upcoming features.

Today I added quote repost listing support to 1.8 (see pics)! nostr:npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8 has been working on making the video player not suck, it has seeking and proper fullscreen now… so for the delay on this 😅. nostr:npub1fgz3pungsr2quse0fpjuk4c5m8fuyqx2d6a3ddqc4ek92h6hf9ns0mjeck has been working on custom emoji support, which is already supported in a few clients, but now its coming to damus! Yay.

On the android side, i’ve been working on adding initial posting support… still too early for a release, but it’s happening!

Just a quick update on whats going on in damus land! More details soon 👀

For those that are new to Nostr, hello!

What’s cool about it is that Nostr it is an open source protocol. It is not a centralized company, but rather is a protocol that individuals and companies can build upon.

This means that you can use many different applications to access it, or even build your own. And it means that there is no central authority that can take down posts or delete accounts; there are different servers operated by different entities that are storing the data. And there is no central algorithm for determining what posts people see or don’t see.

You can hook up a bitcoin lightning wallet to send and receive tips (“zaps”) on posts. Nostr itself is not a blockchain or crypto and has no token, but the Bitcoin blockchain does complement it well via zaps.

Nostr is still relatively small, and a bit rough around the edges. But the community here is great, and familiarizing yourself with the technology and concept is useful in a world of centralized social media. It is a new method of decentralization that balances various trade-offs in a novel way, and the protocol can be used for a lot more than just social media.
