Ich bin sprachlos.

Hey guysss!

My name is Tommy and I’m a producer and musician. Excited to be a part of the community!

#introductions

I saw a TikTok about Nostr like five minutes ago and decided to make an account. The premise is interesting, curious to see if I stick around or if it’s just another account I make and never log back into.

I have no idea what kind of content I’ll put out or if I’ll post at all. I’m just getting a feel for everything.

yesterday i unfollowed everyone on twitter to reset and test the algorithm.

my experience generally stayed the same, with a pretty high quality of signal. it will only get better, towards what tiktok was able to do.

the algorithm isn’t the problem. the problem arises when the algorithm is a black box, can’t be turned off, or can’t be replaced by another one someone else wrote.

being able to choose if an algorithm is used, and which one is used, is key. no one is done this well yet. twitter is the only one that allows a choice in the first place.

Dude... Seems like hiding with Putin isn't the best strategy, when talking about authoritarian regimes. You made a fuzz about global surveillance, but went to the king of it.

Be a man, face consequences and fight for the freedom. Right now seems like Putin paid you to made it. Coward.

whew! welcome back, friend.

Looks like I was able to get this working again, sort of. It says I'm connected to 9-11 relays, but only shows that I have 100 followers (and even Jack only about 40, so it has to be a data gap), and very few notes on timelines (with obvious gaps even for hugely active accounts). Relay.damus.io never seems to pass me any data (0kb both up and down) to me, which j assume is due to my connection coming via Tor, but honestly I don't know. I'm connecting using Amethyst, if anybody sees this and has any ideas—what's the best, biggest relay for Tor users right now?

Secondly, and most importantly for anyone who sees this note, please make some noise to try and stop the passage of RISAA (the FISA 702 reauthorization) that's about to hit law as soon as this Friday. Please read about it and push it out on all of your socials, if you agree it's a problem. It's going to be hard to stop this thing, even with all hands.

Whoever sees this, thank you for hearing me.
