Ok Nostr, how do I block someone who is in my DMs but has no actual posts? They are barraging me with requests to be my sugar daddy which I don't want and didn't ask for.

When folks give lip service they think they can just wash their hands and believe the problem is fixed without doing the work of fixing it. It's so frustrating.

Thank you for posting all this! It's wild how he disappeared from news when they realized folks weren't drinking the Kool aid they were serving about him. For so long we blindly believe these narratives and so many innocent folks get put behind bars as scape goats for violence that seems better explained by other motivations. It's not right. It never has been. And I'm hoping we start being a lot more critical about the flaws in our justice system. I fully believe we have it in us to solve problems (even when they're of our own making) so long as we don't deny the reality of the problem. Thank you nullagent for the excellent posts! #freeluigi

If I hadn't already followed you that would have been what sold me!

That's what happened to me too. It's wild how little control we have on mainstream ones. I don't want to invest all this time building a brand if they can take it away on a whim.

Yes, and I'm still making a lot of mistakes 😅. My goal is to get the wallet for zaps set up this weekend. I left all the usual social media sites about a month or so ago for a million reasons. I do like it better here but the learning curve is steep!

Get on our level 😜

Thank you for explaining! It was a strange interaction 😅

Yay! Thank you and yes its on the to-do list!

Thank you! I like to think so 😅

That's fair. I think we're all tired of bots. But that's why I go out of my way to be human and comment on human posts and this is how it's received 😅

You don't see "Kip Ashlynn Murray"? That's what I see and what it seems like you keep tagging. I thought the other name was just your Nostr identification? I didn't choose it that's just what the account was when I signed up.

Question for folks: is there a weirdness with Nostr in between the different apps? Someone from Mastadon was just accusing me of being an LLM pretty relentlessly and I'm not understanding why. Apparently my account looks weird? What are other people seeing?

Ok I'm not sure what I'm looking at but it's ok! I understand when I'm not being received well and don't need to stick around.

My name? I'm not on mastadon I use Nostr through Amethyst. Is my account looking weird?

Oh. You aren't but I guess that's a fair concern this day and age. Of course, is that what an LLM would say? Is there a reason I seem like an LLM? I am not sure how to prove I am a real human. I just try to be friendly on here idk.

I'm doing ok! Distracting myself, trying to organize a path out of chaos. Optimistic in general despite it all!

Hopefully the thoughts don't veer too dark! Research library sounds nice.

It's hard slugging away at something you're increasingly resentful of, I hope your move comes soon and you get some relief!

What a fantastic article! And 100% true we need to decentralize research to ensure independent thought remains strong!
