I am here now

oh i downloaded FlorisBoard. it's better than the stock graphene option but still not great. (iOS keyboard has no competition tbh)

i edited my lightning address - mind giving it another shot? πŸ™

is Nodestrich telegram-only? or is there a more private chat space?

glad i wasn't the only one!

i recently updated my zap/NWC setup. Would you mind telling me whether my zap came through on your note?

yo, i wanted to follow up and say i downloaded and have been using Gossip, and it's downright brilliant. great rec!

reposting for time zones, and because i'm feeling proud of the note πŸ’œ

also, since i haven't spent a ton of time engaging, i've found that my following feed (and interactions with my own notes) both tend to feel a bit sleepy

is the best way around this simply to talk to more people, follow more accounts, make more frens, and post better content? i still feel sort of "new" here #introductions

is there any relay reconfiguration i should also consider, if i want a more robust and active Nostr social experience? #asknostr

and as i said, i'm reluctant to use hashtags as a general rule... (they often feel trendy-cringe/cliche, or like engagement farming). but in this case i'm hoping to expand my connections here, so screw it...

finally, are there any "off-the-beaten-path" accounts i should follow, either plebs who are active daily but not particularly well-followed, or any "content creators" that you personally enjoy reading notes from (outside of the bitcoin space because i think i've got that covered LOL)

thanks, Nostr 🀘

i FINALLY figured out how to see who reacted to your note in amethyst. little downward carrot on the bottom-left.

it only took me a few months 🀫

also, something sort of cool happened for me this week.

i took two RoboSats orders and purchased some satoshis from a prolific Nostr dev whom i have long admired. at least judging from his username on the fiat platform (and it's not a common name).

i didn't mention anything to him, out of respect for his privacy. didn't want to make him feel nervous/doxxed/anything like that (although i couldn't help but sign off with a "PV" and a πŸ€™.

anyway, first time that's happened, and then twice in a row. just thought this was very cool: as i understand it, it's still rare to encounter a nostrich in the wild.

i hang on Nostr a lot, but it's rare that i post here.

so, i wanted to take a moment to express my awe and appreciation for the people here.

the devs are building ingenius freedom tools. and fun features.

the plebs (including each unique individual here, side-by-side with many brilliant "large-following-on-twitter-but-here-just-one-of-us" writers and thinkers) all hang out together and manifest this free, funny, and open community.

i would not have expected that an online social space could ever actually regain the respectful, thoughtful, authentic nature of engagement that we've discovered and created here on Nostr.

it's a breath of fresh air, a sight for sore eyes, and i can't fully express how extraordinary this is. thank you - to every one of you.

i'm not normally big on hashtags... but #grownostr and #plebchain feel quite appropriate today πŸ«‚πŸ’œβš‘πŸ€πŸ€™

onward 🫑

Damnnn this thing is sleek πŸ”₯

Funny yours was the first note in my feed upon opening Amethyst, Ava -- I signed on to ask you about the sandboxed Google Play Services on GrapheneOS (as i believe it was yesterday i read some well-thought-out comments of yours about Obtanium and F-Droid, and i trust your judgment).

Anyway, google play, Yay/nay/may(be)?

Any major privacy risks?

Many thanks in advance πŸ™

It's an evolution thing - both Darwinian, and spiritual, I'd wager.

Example: the immediate physiological reward from sugar - we just discovered and consumed an intense and highly available form of energy. Good.

But that used to require sticking one's hand into a beehive, or cutting a hole in a maple tree and waiting (etc.), and so we never evolved to process large sugar intake in a healthy way.

Yet it's readily available, everywhere, always. The animal brain wants more. That's natural.

The spiritual (call it what you will) evolution requires disintangling one's action from those desires (and fears), to instead move from a place of self/mindfulness/balance.
