For why reason? What is he gaining exactly by emotionally manipulating people.

Hope your right. I would rather be low IQ, then have bitcoin child porn all over the place. I hope I am misguided.

If filters dont work, what's the issue? Cope harder

Are you sure it's not you that pearl clutching?

How low do you presume my iq is?

You guys and the name calling. Jeez

Great answer by the way. Really clears things up for me. I might have missed the more subtle nuance due to my low IQ though.

Harsh words.

What have you done for bitcoin?

Do you just have something against this guy personally?

Nobody is actually against Bitcoin having spam filters. Fees are just another filter, not fundamentally any different from any other filter. Even Core is adding _new_ filters: TRUC and ephemeral dust are two recent examples (mandatory in Core, and optional in Knots).

They're just against _you_ having a say in what filters you get to use. They want to dictate that you use the filters _they_ choose.

Instead of decentralized policy, they want a centralized policy.

(And they're not even choosing sane ones! Who in their right mind wants to relay CSAM???)

Everything we see is bullshit. Everything.

This is my public account. I have a nym with 5-10 posts a day and many multiples of followers.

You post once a month

I personally don't think the world is ever going to just "Discover us" if we want Nostr to be successful and reach people we need to fight to keep it alive.

Nostr is cool as it is but I no longer hold the idea that it’s going to replace other social medias or even grow user base.

Also if it did succeed and become mainstream everyone who uses it now would hate it lmao.

Nostr is a really good digital identity network and the state would treat it like that.

It’s hilarious that there are like 5000 people from all over the world who just use nostr clients and hangout here chatting all day.

We literally don’t care what “experts” say about nost, all of the failure predictions or that we’re largely disconnected from the rest of the internet.

This is our weird little internet hangout spot and we’re truly not fucking leaving 😂

i mean vibe coding is cool but I don't understand the insane over hyping of it. there are tons of downsides...

But that is the goal. And if we are going to replace it, we will have to make it good for readers most of the time.

Forcing people to post is not good. They decide when they are ready to post. We can guide them there, but part of being the "freedom platform" is to allow users to be whoever they want to be. Otherwise, they will end up hating us in the same way they hate Facebook.

No, most people don't write anything. They never post, never reply. For them, there is never anything useful in notifications. Very few users are writers and replies. The vast majority is passive.
