fixing nostr DMs is jumping out of this text innit?

The bounty offer was clearly subjective and deliberately so. You could have asked what defined "nice UI" before you wasted those 20 minutes of your life or not bothered at all with the bounty.

No one forced you to work for 20 minutes on something you didn't care about.

I don't know the bounty requirements , and I don't know the complexity of the problem but hist.nostr.land has a terrible UI

Isn't it ironic that those who shout CEASEFIRE NOW loudest are also those who reject ceasefire?

Fine, no ceasefire, you'll continue getting HELL 🔥

Here is something I've never heard before.

I don't believe in jews.

You heard me. I don't believe there are any jews.

You see, jews are defined by a religion called judiasm as all the people who were in the desert and given commandments by YHWH through Moses. These aren't the 7 Noahide laws that supposedly apply to everybody, these are 613(?) specific rules just for jews. And furthermore, all of the descendants of such people down the maternal line are also defined to be jews. And furthermore all people who convert into judiasm are jews.

But I don't believe God was there. So I don't think there are any people who were jews by the first definition, which means all their descendants aren't jews either. The only people who might be jews are the converts, but I'm not so sure about that either. They aren't joining a group of jews, they are joining a group of people who think they are jews.

So anyhow, as an athiest I don't believe in god, so by extention I don't believe in jews either.

Because the firewall was built to block things by IP address, and that doesn't help when the content is coming from a distributed network that doesn't depend on IP addresses.

Sad to hear that.

> Convincing Americans to give the COVID vaccine to children (no other Western nation does that)

the German Robert Koch Institute, the federal authority for disease surveillance and prevention, recommends vaccinating kids from the age of six months if they have an increased risk of severe COVID-19 disease or an increased risk of infection.

Since Mastodon users communicate via Nostr to criticize Mastodon servers, it's obvious which platform is for communication and which one is not.

To your second point, non-crypto people don't want a social space full of crypto posts.

The "curate your own feed" concept fails in this area, since you cannot escape Bitcoin, Craig Wright, and "Look at how shitcoin dropped" posts that don't have tags or blocked key words in them.

I used to be all about Bitcoin until I joined Nostr. I'm still for it as a currency, but don't want to see valueless posts about it (or gloating over other crypto prices dropping, etc) anymore; and about 97.4% of Bitcoin related posts on Nostr have no value. Aside from some professional authors, it's sheer noise.

Non-cryptos will like Nostr as a social space once Nostr is not a cryto community. Until then, they will poke their head in, get bored by all the Bitcoin posts (and posts about Nostr) then leave; just like our metrics have shown for the last year.

Cheers to Mastodon users migrating to Nostr and bringing valued content with them.

#Mastodon= feudal wars

I call it #masturbon

Federated services like Mastodon and Lemmy suffer from pseudo-centralization where larger instances can bully smaller instances into censoring content they ideologically disagree with.

Operators are immature and do not take the position serious and will defederate out of spite over personal slapfights.

Nostr is a better service and is resistant from this problem. If you want less cryptobros on it, encourage more non-cryptobros to use it.

I'm spitballing here, and I'm probably going to get some pushback on this one (when did that ever stop me?) but here goes.

Sometimes I wonder if anti-American forces such as the Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, etc, have been hard at work at ideological subversion (remember Yuri Bezmenov?) Actually, I don't wonder that, I presume it. America can't be (or certainly couldn't in the past) directly attacked militarily, but can be corroded from within given how much freedom America has... that freedom can be used against them. So I don't wonder if it is happening, I wonder which ideas were seeded and encouraged by America's enemies.

Here is a list of possibles (you'll be able to guess at which ones I am expecting pushback on)

1. Convincing Americans to give the COVID vaccine to children (no other Western nation does that)

2. Convincing Americans to have sympathy for criminals to such a degree that they let them out of jail, or refuse to prosecute crimes

3. Funding the campaigns of candidates with extreme views

4. Convincing Americans to have such sympathy for migrants that they let them flow in en masse without controls, allowing in the spies and plants of the enemy.

5. Convincing Americans that red meat is good for them, so they die young of heart attacks and cancers, killing thousands per day without a shot fired.

6. Stirring up a race war

7. Stirring up extreme political division

8. Convincing Americans that Trump is worse than nuclear war, the Earth spiraling into the sun, Hillary Clinton eating babies, or whatever.

9. Convincing other Americans to support Trump with all their hearts.

10. Convincing the education system to stop educating people

11. Convincing them to redirect the efforts towards stopping climate change

12. Convincing them to be anti-war, so that America has less ability to exert power overseas

13. Convincing Americans that all vaccines are harmful, so they stop taking them and diseases spread again, killing thousands without firing a shot.

14. Convincing them not to have kids because humans are a cancer on Earth, so that their population weakens and dwindles.

OK. So I included (5) which I expect pushback on. I also included (11) and (12) which implicate me as the patsy. I try to be fair.

Conservatives want to outlaw all-but-procreative sex so people will have to stop telling them to go fuck themsleves.

Iran’s policy towards Afghan Refugees is unambiguous: mistreatment, disrespect, expulsion, and in some cases, even massacre.
