I once had a screwdriver. It's frowned upon, but they let me go and just took my shower gel..
Only when everyone else is immortal too...
Out of these options Nostr is the best.
There is good content on fosstodon, but Nostr is just much better at not censoring you and letting you post whatever you want while the community is actually great and welcoming.

Quito, Ecuador — circa 2020

Quito is great and the surrounding mountains are amazing!
Just came up with a new plan for fixing replaceable events with nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj
The biggest issue with replaceable events (contact lists, profiles, lists,) is that there is no versioning scheme. This leads to many issues where your contact list is dropped, comments+likes+zaps appearing only on older versions of a post, etc.
We need a concept of versioned events in nostr and a way of querying those effectively. Looking forward to working with nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj on this and implementing it in Damus, nostrdb and hopefully strfry once we figure it all out.
Chain of hashes? The new event hash has to probably include the hash that it's replacing?
Ok, this is pretty good.

Those two are the least real looking people already...
Let's spice it up! 🔥🔥🔥🧯
Have you felt recently that people are just stupid, they don't understand your nuanced points, they just repeat mistakes that you have seen before?
As an engineer I always try to debug how did the person ended up with such opinion/idea even when I think it's stupid/wrong. More often than not I learn something new.
And then sometimes you just have to tell people to go fuck themselves with a rake...
It enables you as a user to define your own experience. Currently web is all sorts of colors and themes and shapes, that you can't really adjust. Letting users and their "clients" own the experience instead would be in my opinion interesting experiment
Topic discovery, right? But also this from mastodon, so the hashtags may not be that alive...
