Can you recommend a good non-Bitcoin podcast?

Without bona fide blocking, an attacker can spam someone’s replies for others to see, and can continuously keep tabs on their victim’s thoughts and information they post (location etc).

I haven’t come across an effective proposal to stop this— same problem somewhat exists in the fediverse as well, and even any “complete” block can be circumvented by an attacker spinning up a new identity (though a weak barrier is better than nothing).

If there is no solution, I think what people need to consider is that they not regard nostr like a twit*er or facebo*k. This is a place where you have to protect yourself fully— stay anon, don’t leak info etc, all habits everyone should begin to practice in the current surveillance hellscape, so in this way it’s good (but I agree freaking pathetic from a societal pov).

The strongest use case for nostr is for posting truly censorship resistant content, not social media, IMO, even if I primarily use it as social media.

Pardon me, a little house keeping is in order…

There is a serious Self Righteousness religion thing roving around nostr today.

I’ll be having none of it.

Keep your creepy ass Knights Templar, Empire mimicking pseudo Christianity off my timeline. You’re not holy, you’re just assholes.

Move along 😉

Here’s a little something for the guys…

Most of us (myself included) have a pretty strong shame response to having our privilege named. It can make us feel confused and powerless to find we have contributed, probably unknowingly, to the harm of others in our community.

The defensiveness that typically follows may come in a few forms:

1. Outright hostility and aggression

2. Minimizing counter-evidence

3. Demands for education

Each of these are an attempt to regain the kind of control and safety we usually feel as “normal”. We normally navigate the world feeling safe, understood, and likely to find some level of solidarity with others. This feeling of safety is part of what is meant by “privilege”.

We are far less likely to be subject to unprovoked harassment, threats, and de-humanization. When these things do occur they are less likely to conjure up a consistent, lifelong history of physical threats and/or attacks suffered by less-privileged people (usually at the hands of people who look/sound/identify like us).

I’m not saying that we haven’t or can’t suffer harm or experience trauma — far from it. But the defensiveness and coping strategies in response to trauma aren’t something a decentralized protocol is going to fix.

I’ve found talk therapy helpful. It’s not for everyone, but I want to encourage you find something that helps you feel fully human again. (hint: spewing hate speech online just because you can probably isn’t it)

For the men out here trying to do their inner work and lift others up, I’m grateful.

Love y’all

I think it’s easy to say just mute the person. But if you don’t have the lived experience of being a woman, or being part of a marginalized group, you will never understand our experience, especially what it’s like to be on nostr.

I love nostr AND it’s challenging to be here because it feels like (again, from my perspective) another man’s world; built by men, for men, that only men will truly benefit from (if you feel defensive after reading that, you may want to self-reflect on why).

I understand the purpose and updates being made consistently. But without some type of protection from the /harassment/hate, I just can’t see nostr expanding the ways it’s envisioned.

I appreciate the men on here that have been kind to me and have my back. You’re the only reason I’ve stayed 🫂

And please don’t come for me, I’m tired today 😂

No honey. This is an April fools joke. The real Nostr Conference #Nostriga is happening in Riga Latvia.

Flights booked!!! ✈️ 🥳 💸

I’m so excited to see all my friends again at #nostriga so glad we’re doing it again in Costa Rica this year! I just finished booking my flight to San Jose. I used my entire life savings and also booked third party so I can’t cancel or make any changes! See you all in Uvita! 🫂 🤗

I need to be more of an asshole. I’m too fucking nice.
