I'm working part time for a large very well known charity, supporting young homeless families to develop life skills they need to be able to manage the day to day grind of raising a little human and managing a household. They come from a variety of different backgrounds and have a variety of different attitudes, expectations and outlooks on life. We were asked to pick a specialism recently - I chose education, because I really think it's one of the most important things they can do, for themselves and for setting an example for their wee kids. Trouble is, hardly any of them are even remotely interested. I've told them, it doesn't matter if it's learning a new thing by watching a YouTube video, or going to college or Uni and developing marketable skills. Just get on and learn. I want a new way to encourage and motivate them. Apparently I'm not aloud to use a cattle prod. Is there anyone on #nostr with any experience guiding young people in to education? Any thoughts or insights that might help. Again, cattle prods are out. Gotta be more inventive. #asknostr

Search is such a weird thing on #nostr. I'm finding it challenging enough getting it to work well in Plume tbh, which is funny because I just tried to tag the Plume acc and it didn't find it. This was my search returns on #Amethyst when I tried to search for Pegah - note I only got as far as the Pe, everything after that was even more innacurate. What have the rest of the returned results got to do with what was entered? Nothing, as far as I can tell.

According the the offcom nonsense in the UK any platform offering encrypted messaging will have to incorporate client side scanning which will kick in before encryption. Obviously that means zero privacy. Well, Plume is only used by me and they don't need to know what I'm saying to other people, since I'm not a criminal, so they're welcome to fuck off. And then they're welcome to fuck off some more. Then a bit more.

They don't argue back so much, either.

Britain may be fucked, but the fight isn't over yet.

They never believe how bad it was 😆

When I first created an Ebay account, the news was full of people saying 'wow, I got this bargain' because they'd won an auction which had been put in thebwrong section and so not seen by loads of people. There was a chance to snag a bargain. My entry on Twitter came about after I got in an argument on FB then found out a load of mental communists were sharing posts on twitter and encouraging people to give me shitbon FB. So I went and slagged them off where they were. My entry to FB came about because they were no established kings of social media yet and a few of my mates were on there, but it didn't pick up steam for several years and the account was almost barren for the first few. Lots of different platforms, lots of different reasons. None of it was about 'adopting' a particular network. Each came with a reason. What's gonna snag people and get them here? Are you going to consider it a failure if someone doesn't immediately make it their primary social media method? There's loads of big expectations on #nostr. Let's tame them a bit.

In the UK currently, every new house/shop or place that's redecorated, gets covered in gray and black paint. All the cars are dull and dismal. Clothing is becoming dull and dismal. It's just like Brutalism in the 60s architecture- a visible sign of defeat. View quoted note →
