X 💩 is bad for normies!

Many of them fall into the trap of investing in shitcoins or end up losing their valuable sats by following advice from scammers.

We should focus on attracting more newcomers to join #nostr

Why nostr:

- You own your identity

- Your speech stands on its own

- You can run your own everything

- You own and control your social graph

- You are free to say and do anything, but you are not free from consequences (non-repudiation of cryptographic signatures)

- You can proof realness via proof-of-work, either directly or indirectly

- Proof-of-work is what allows you to successfully combat bots, spam, and trolls, as it brings real cost to destructive actions

- Ownership and realness allows you to build and curate webs of trust, which allows for canonicality without central authority

had to show a 3rd picture of this fabulous morning - the atmosphere is so different each time!

musste noch ein 3. Foto von diesem wunderschönen Morgen zeigen - die Stimmung war jedes mal anders!

I have been able to convince exactly 0 people to use #Signal after they dropped SMS support.

Most of the people I convinced to use it only used it mostly with me. BUT, the selling point was that they could just set it as the default (better) SMS app and not just have another fucking messaging app just for me.

About 90% of MY communication used to be encrypted on Signal, even if theirs wasn't (it didn't matter to them).

Now? All of them are back to sending me SMS. This erased about two years of work I put into converting people.

So great, Signal is now more secure. Except no one in my life uses it with me anymore. Where exactly is the benefit we were supposed to see?

This is an old topic at this point, but just wanted to call out the fact that what many of us predicted is now a reality.

The interesting thing is that overlapping people in my network (friends, family, etc) were starting to use encryption incidentally without even knowing it.

A network effect that took a lot of work was completely destroyed by one decision.

Signal is dead in my life now and it's truly sad. I'm putting an end to my fruitless attempts to convert people. Sad.

I go to NYC several times per year for one reason or another. For work, for friends, etc.

Part of me likes it, but part of me gets fucking frustrated multiple times per day every time I am here. (Sorry, this is a Nostr Lyn post).

There are plenty of neat things in NYC that I can’t do at the same scale/quality elsewhere in the world due to the network effects around the city (broadway shows, financial district, etc), and yet after a day or two all I want to do is leave. It feels claustrophobic on multiple fronts.

People all have different vibes but for me, major cities are fun to visit but smaller secondary cities or suburbs around cities are so much smoother to live in. I can’t imagine living all the time in a major city.

The same applies to Cairo, to which I have been in far more total days than NYC. I like Cairo’s satellite cities but not Cairo itself other than going briefly.

Every time I am in a major city I am immediately reminded of the luxury of space, nature, quiet, parking spaces, and chillness of not being in a city. Everything I take for granted normally is now a luxury to fight for in a city.

Even politics are largely correlated to urbanization. If you live in rural or suburban areas, you likely drive around in your own car, you might have some land, etc. Your interaction with the local government exists in a moderate sense. The potential weakness is that you are more likely to always be around those who are similar to you, which minimizes your worldliness.

In contrast to all that, in major cities, everything is so tightly packed, and people rely on public transportation, and even a momentary lapse of government services (eg trash collection) becomes an acute catastrophe. But on the beneficial side, people are around those who are different than them more often, which breeds worldliness.

That’s why I tend to like the zone between rural and major cities. I like secondary cities or suburbs of major cities, because I get a bit of both worlds. The density and interconnectedness of major cities briefly, and the space and self-autonomy outside of them most of the time.

And yet I was born and raised in that sort of inbetween state, and so maybe it is just my upbringing.

What about you? Can anyone sell me the idea of NYC or other major cities that I am missing, especially in the remote work era? I see glimpses of how it could be attractive if you are used to it and know every detail of your neighborhood, but it really does feel limiting to me.

Zap failed. Let me know when I should try again!

Me accepting #zaps only. 😂 #Zapathon

Hey #zapathon enjoyers! Nice work overwhelming Primal’s infrastructure. Our apologies, the Primal Wallet is down atm; you can’t send or receive payments. You can just see your balance and transaction history. We are working to bring it back up, stay tuned.

Rest assured, we are improving the system and hope to be better prepared for the next #zapathon!

Hey Y’all- I tried to zap every single post today, but Primal. It’s the thought that counts.
