How do I check if they are online?

I think about this often. Most are still ignorant of the gravity of the situation. I'm afraid they'll always be.

What the fuck is this asking me to do?

Ouch, this one hurts.

What’s the best way of getting a feed on Nostr?

I feel like I’m always missing out on what’s going on

I know what a log scale graph is.. Just wasn't sure what a "log log log log" graph is 😂

so many new faces #grownostr

Same. Relays keeping it I suppose.

A legal tactic to be aware of is to make unfollowable laws, and then selectively enforce them.

So for example with this FinCEN proposal, add a ton of reporting requirements for all sorts of noncustodial transaction types, which puts tons of normal operators at risk and heavily disincentivizes them. It’s so broad as to apply to almost everyone, and even things they can’t report technically could be argued to be reportable (eg Lightning node router operator- report everyone you are routing for!). Now, everyone is a criminal; everyone has legal leverage against them which can be selectively deployed.

And if a “class of transactions” can be labeled under Section 311 of the Patriot Act as reportable, then why not also ban-able? Instead of sanctioning an actual entity, why not sanction a concept, a class of transactions, an expression of math?

Dangerous precedent.

Anyone else have the same issues with watching videos on NOSTR (amethyst users)

The video keeps restarting after a few seconds 😭 it's always done it for me.
