On this evening of September 11, I am pleased to announce that I have tagged a Ditto alpha1 release and deployed it to https://gleasonator.dev
Ditto LIVES. Here's what you need to know:
- It's Soapbox on Nostr.
- Ditto pretends to be a Mastodon server while using the Nostr protocol.
- You can use Mastodon apps other than Soapbox (but you need to obtain a Nostr private key first).
- ActivityPub is not supported yet, but it will be. It's part of what makes Ditto, Ditto.
- Ditto is about building communities on Nostr, similar to ActivityPub.
- Nostr uses private keys. There is still a lot of work to do in Soapbox to improve this experience.
- This is not optimized. Please excuse any slowness or glitches. If something isn't working, try refreshing the page. I will improve this.
- It's still a demo. This is just for poking around, so don't get too attached.
This is just the beginning. alpha1 is just BARELY usable. But I want to get the ball rolling. Things are going to change a lot in both Soapbox and Ditto. These things take time, but we will win. Thank you all for your patience, enthusiasm, and support!

Enjoy!
this is going to be a fun ride #ditto #nostr ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

juggling between social-media, 2023 edition
bullish on #nostr ; only if bitcoin blows up #plebchain #grownostr
yes, it's super-fast, feels almost instant. I don't know why exchanges are charging us for, gas-fee, network-fee etc. ?

nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 I'm from India (Hindi), and the sticker seems to have completely messed up.... the correct label (translation) should be: बिटकॉइन में मुद्रास्फीति नहीं है
I use Syncthing to auto-sync dbx file to android.
from where do ⚡️#sats⚡️ originate ??? Is someone mining for it or giveaways??
It's just my first day on #nostr and zaps are just flowing in here.
Are zaps a way to show love here ??
⚡️ == ❤ #grownostr #plebchain
I stopped syncing my android contacts with Google/ Outlook. set up Syncthing + DecSync CC to sync between multiple android devices.
Let me know if you need a detailed note about how I set it up.

This list is outdated, any new suggestions in the space ???
setting up SimpleX client now, will look-up PGP signing emails later this week. Already started to read Graphene OS installation guide, and setup my KeePass databse.
In the pipeline: learn to self host stuff, matrix client, fediverse, TrueNAS, honk, SSH keys, Open BSD, nextcloud etc. Will update more in thread as I plan :)
amazing, since how long have you been here now. it's my still day 1 #grownostr
Current Nostr DMs are leaking a lot of metadata, basically you can see everything except the actual content. You can see who's DMing who and how often, etc.
There is a new proposal for DMs in the works, and if that's deemed solid, it should be much better.
Just found this, if you want to deep dive into this stuff: https://gist.github.com/staab/f8284af12450dbbdcead6e0c3ed95e2c
