I used a VPN just so I could see how it works, and “underwhelming” doesn’t quite cover it.

Maybe my state did me a solid by not letting me use Zebedee. I just tried it out and…it’s hard to describe how bad the UX is.

Depends on client, most boosts are the circular arrows icon.

To "boost" or "broadcast" a note are two very underrated toole on Nostr.

On other social platforms algos make some post more visible so they got not totally lost in timeline.. here it can happen The best Note just is not seen by the majority because bad time, or problems with relays connection etc..

On Nostr there is an "Algo", the best and biggest ever: YOU. Nostriches are the Algo.. we choose what notes should be more visible or not.

Use your power wisely.. 🔄 is like a ⚡

Please boost, repost, broadcast this 🙏🍀🫂

I'll write up a report about this. I have those stats in the NostrGram database.

FREEDOM OR CONTROL - YOUR SUPPORT SHOWS YOUR CHOICE

I saw a long thread discussing another spam attack on Nostr last night. That's not going to stop for free relays. Spammers will always use free services with large audiences to spam. Stopping them is a game of whack-a-mole that even the big Social Media companies have failed to win despite their deep pockets and teams of engineers.

The solution is value-for-value: pay for what you use and find valuable. If Nostr benefits you in some way, be willing to pay for the tools you use that provide it to you (relays, clients, etc). If you can't pay but you can build or support it in some other way, that's great, too.

I had a person (jokingly I assume) say they were sad I didn't ⚡ them. The first thing that jumped into my mind when I read the note was "What benefit are you providing?" I had never seen any other post from them before.

If you want to live in a free world, you need to ask that question often, both of yourself and of others: what benefit are you providing? Because any time you're getting something "free", it's not free. Somebody is paying for it. If that person isn't you, then someone else is setting the agenda for what you consume. Is that what you want?

For many, the idea of freedom is like the idea of owning a boat. They daydream about how great it would be to have a boat, take it out on the water, fish, swim and enjoy it all. But they never buy a boat. Why? Because boats cost money and take work to maintain. All that pleasure has a price. Either you're willing to pay it, or you're not.

Freedom is no different. I hear a lot of talk about freedom today, and that's good. Freedom of speech is a big one. But what are you doing to support those that are building the tools that give you that freedom? Are you content to daydream about that freedom and how nice it would be while never taking any action, or are you willing to put some skin in the game to turn that dream into a reality both for yourself and others you care about?

We've been conditioned to get things for "free", but it's a lie and a trick that's resulted in us selling ourselves and our choices to the highest bidder. For me, Nostr is the path to freedom, but Nostr is not free. It costs money to run the relays, servers and services, and it costs time (which results in lost earning power) to code clients that provide the experience you want and create great content on an ad-free platform.

So if you believe in freedom, and I know you do (that's why you're here) then support the builders that are providing value to you. Show that freedom is not just a daydream. Governments and nefarious actors have long taken advantage of the masses just daydreaming about freedom. Let's wake the world up from that dream and make it a reality. This is our shot. Let's not miss the target.

My deepest thanks to all of those that are supporting the builders already. You are true heroes. 🙏

Good morning

Wow, interesting! Must have been a hell of an experience for a 3yo!

What’s your earliest memory?

He's the King of the household.

Otis is too bust eating his whiskas for a GM or a PV this morning.

So it's up to me!

Good morning and Pura Vida to everyone on Nostr. May your coffee always be hot and close to hand.

Love this face. Beautiful blue eyes too!

Not the be a hater but I paid for the eden relay and it basically never works.

I don't recommend it.

They choose Costa Rica, a spanish spoken language. Nodoy knows how to speak Spanish. They will force waitress and workers to speak in English. This kind of chauvinism I doesn't like. If you travel Costa Rica, please speak Spanish.,

you can search for "Black legend" of Spain.
