Y'all VoicePing is not ready for primetime... #nostrasia

Biggest debate at #nostrasia, are you team #NOstr or team #NOStr?

nostr:npub1ds0xzeh36cc6vr5uuuytkftseu86faknrs8pzr04tp0drvh6xnhsr2s9t4 to your point about having some kind of communication between nostriches and nostr makers, I come from the WordPress space and one of the reasons I think they've had so much success is their approach to building organic conversation via the Meetup ecosystem, with small teams in cities around the world hosting regular meetings. I saw a post the other day that this is starting to happen in some places but I would echo the thought that it could be more of an organized effort.

Why are we on #nostr? #unmarketing

I'll answer longer later, but a brief summary: faith and hope for a better future for global public discourse 🙏

Proof of #nostrasia 🤙

You gotta dig DUG.

We can't get outside of language. The world as we know it is constructed by the logic of signification. Even our perception of the natural world itself only works in relation to our consciousness through the logic metaphor—this tree and that rock only have meaning in the world insofar as we "represent" their existence in cognition. Our minds form an abstraction of the world itself, and our capacity to negotiate the outside world is always already a projection of our consciousness and its internal logic.

The key to world building is recognizing this formative function of language, and to understand that every individual deploys the existing matrix in some way to shape their sense of themselves: their "identity."

This one I had was with their "garlic oil" broth. Sooo good but I'm partial to garlic so ymmv. Also the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender and had a nice sweetness.

In Tokyo for like 5 minutes and already have had the best bowl of ramen I've ever eaten in my life. Didn't even have to wait in line. At Kyushu Jaranga in Harajuku. #nostrasia

Don't touch my moustache.

Some more pre-#nostrasia Japanese language lessons—with pronunciation tips for English speakers who are probably, like me, used to saying these wrong:

I've now done so much research about Tokyo on YouTube and travel sites that I almost feel like I don't even need to go to Tokyo anymore 😬 #nostrasia

For folks heading out to #nostrasia who don't already speak Japanese — if you want to learn how to say "thanks for the meal" when leaving the restaurant:

Could there be some kind of community informed filter mechanism that leverages AI? As we organically inform the weights by identifying problematic accounts, the AI learns to use our information to suppress bad accounts? And then each user can adjust the "squelch" on the filter however they want, whenever they want? It could be a whole class of filters that work in a similar fashion, a marketplace even, and we use them however we want, in whatever combinations and settings we want?

Very cool, I'll give this a try! 👍🙏🙏

Thanks for the update 🙏 Looking forward to checking out the new features and thanks again for making it! 🙏🙏🙏
