I really hope this is done now. Switched from the Alby wallet to coinos … it does seem to be easier … wow what a wallet setup journey. First, I asked chat GPT what wallets to use with Nostr. The ones it suggested (ex: Wallet of Satoshi) did not work either due to region (USA, NY), or phone (iOS), or was not actually compatible with Nostr (Speed, Strike, Muun). So then I got the bright idea to see what Nostr recommends, which is how I wound up with Alby. But that one needs Alby Hub, and the free “diy” version apparently requires setting up a node. So, finally - Coinos. This felt like I was at work. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #introductions #damus #freedomtech #plebchain

it tends to be I feel that more consistently in digital places where pseudonyms are used, obviously? haha … with in-person encounters, it really goes on a case by case kind of way … it could depend on each person’s current mood and mental state. But with online interactions, you’re pretty much only interacting when you are ready to or interested to, and usually around a specific topic that you are choosing …

when is individual voice valued and when does it feel like it’s not valued? (something I’ve been thinking about and discussing with my AI app). I think it tends to feel more valued with social media, esp. decentralized social media. The times when it felt not valued was in maybe some school settings and workplaces. When those places have power dynamics and a hierarchy. This is important to me, because I had selective mutism as a kid … and I still have seen times when I don’t want to talk, and times when I do. Places where I don’t feel comfortable, and places where I feel more free.

Watched parts of the DAS, Digital Assets Summit talks … so weird. Emotional. A lot of very lofty things said … but so weird that those lofty things are actually possible.

#nostrzaps Is it possible to zap a post or comment? I’m not seeing a way to do that… (newly connected lightning wallet)

I think I set up a lightning wallet using Alby. Went through like 3, before realizing only certain ones work with Nostr. (I tried Speed, Strike, and Muun, and those do not work either due to my region or it’s not compatible with Nostr). Slight frustrating friction. #introductions

an opinion: guys, on Nostr (or any social media), whose profile about me says ‘carnivore’, are patently insane.

I’ve been liking the Reclaiming podcast, with Monica Lewinsky

Wondering: should I get the charger port of my iphone SE fixed? Or, get a secondhand iphone 13? I think the first choice is sensible, but the second choice is more exciting.

sometimes I think I self-censor myself unnecessarily… but it is also important to be thoughtful about what you say online. Although, social media is meant to be more casual.
