When they try to get you to change your stance on mass immigration with someone's sob story and you remember how Merkel opened the gates of Vienna because of a sad picture in a newspaper. 😒 Millions of people have drowned, been enslaved, raped, murdered, robbed, and simply terrorized because she got weak over one sob story. The road to hell truly is paved with the weak of heart's good intentions.

I ♥ Books Nobody had to pay me, to get me to work on #Alexandria. I pay myself to work on it. I pay other people to work on it. There are things I love more than money. My name checks out.

Today you learned that if you see a book on Nostr, you can republish it with your own key, and download it to your own relay, cell phone, or e-paper reader, and then no one else can change it. *You own that book.* Yes, we are working on the app for that.🤙🏻 It's the most complex Nostr app, but it's worth the effort, and @GitCitadel has been plugging away at it, nonstop, for over a year. https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/ We review everything published with @npub18cdd...aztw . We see it as the Nostr answer to Project Gutenberg. No AI slop or censorship, on there. If you see any errors in our editions, please point them out and we will correct them. You can trace the edits on our version ( @semisol is helping us figure out how to keep a history and display them in the app), and you can choose whether to accept the edits on your own version. Also, *you can publish your own books to our public document relay* wss://thecitadel.gitcitadel.eu and everyone on Nostr can immediately see them! @cloud fodder manages that relay for us. The relays are paid for by donations and fees from ourselves and our fellow Nostriches. 🥰 You can all help pay for those relays and/or *support the effort by downloading the books to your own relays or adding the publishing account to your follow list*, so that it is picked up by WoT relays. More copies make them harder to censor! No more nasty surprises. Just #books. GM View quoted note →

You had asked me for an example of someone popular on Nostr preaching that we should stop using Nostr. We should go offline. That is, supposedly, the new luxury. This is actually a good thing, if they really mean it and go away, but they usually don't. They constantly return to remind us that they are not here. View quoted note →
