I'm considering zapping my own notes from alt accounts just to scam the system. Does anyone actually put weight on zaps?

In my eyes, the biggest draw of Nostr has never been censorship resistence. It has always been possible to shrug off censorship from the very moment that the first microblogging platform was launched. Simply by switching to plain old blogging. Run your own relay? Nah dude, just run your own Wordpress site.

The true advantage of microblogging and Nostr is the promise to the user: that the user themselves can choose what content is filtered for them or not. And that the user themselves can figure out exactly what content they aren't seeing. Microblogging exists because the user shouldn't have to run their own damn web-spider just to be able to have their best possible content feed.

However, I believe that Nostr has not yet fulfilled this promise. What does a new user see the moment they make a Nostr account? They see a list of relays, but every single relay looks exactly the same. It isn't possible to determine what their policy is for storing notes because the protocol isn't designed with that in mind.

But look at Mastadon and Activity Pub, and you'll be able to see EXACTLY what an instance is about. You can scroll through the list of blocked instances, or often, a list of individual moderator decisions. Nostr has no equivalent and it's devastating.

This isn't about the ability to post or to read, it's about the ability to connect with the people you want to, even if you had no idea they would be there.

I found some very funny users who showed up here from the bridge to activitypub. I don't know if they count though because they are technically users of Mastadon and similar things.

There are also a bunch of vegans, carnivores, theists, and even the occasional pedophile or two hanging around. But I don't think many people get the kind of kick I do when arguing with freaks and weirdos.

In conclusion: Yep, Bitcoin spam is as exhausting as it is bland, and all I know is what Nostr is to me, not what it could be for you.

Having multiple porn tabs open is netorare. You are all degenerates. 1 tab at a time is the only moral way to consume porn.

Polygamy is worth less than the sum of its parts.

That's true, because if you get what you asked for and find out that it wasn't like what you expected, then you are going to feel really stupid about writing it all down.

If you have trash political opinions, committing to a vote can only result in reality calling you stupid.

Those eggs are probably worth a lot less than 50 cents nowdays.

Ask them what party they are voting for and then tell them that you are voting for the opposite. Then stay at home.

Sounds kinda sus, why are you talking about trying to impregnate children?

So they can put their competitors out of business.

Sat is short for "Satoshi", which is the smallest unit of Bitcoin. It's like a penny, but for gay internet currency.

We call that one a G&L. Guess, and lose.

I made exactly one 3D print using another person's machine and was satisfied. I guess I don't need a 3D printer.

Why not? Is it because Bitcoin isn't for buying things?

Damn, so I gotta leave my gun at home?

I think I get it. The "fascist" is really doing the most work here, since a Libertarian wouldn't consider a system where the state stifles businesses to be Capitalist, whereas to many left wing individuals, that's the defining feature of Capitalism.

They already get a deluge of responses, they just don't consider any of them to be "good men!"

The fights between heros and villains would become embarassing. The villains would be white trash crackheads and the heros whould be equally patheric.

Relatable. Just calculated 3 eigenvalues earlier. Now I've got to calculate their corresponding eigenvectors...

You should listen to the experts.
