Twitter Blue is essentially KYC for social, isn’t it. Much as I love Elon’s contribution to the world at large, I just can’t see myself Blue’ing up. Given the inevitability neutered experience without it, am somewhat surprised to find myself on the verge of joining an exodus I recently mocked (some months ago, when the safe-spacers were all fleeing to Mastodon). Twitter engagement, already poor outside the top 5%, will die completely on the free tier.

Q: am I not seeing the zap icon on my own posts because self-zapping would be silly and Damus is saving us from ourselves, or have I just not set this thing up right?

Very happy Bitcoin Twitter is here, obviously. The libertarian/individual sovereignty/community-first groups will naturally follow. I still rely on the Bird for: Energy Twitter (more entangled these days, so likely only a matter of time), Space Twitter, and Fintwit. I wonder where we’ll be in a year.

Some Canadiana for you this family day evening. The outro is just beautiful. Apologies for the YouTube, haven’t yet converted to Tidal. Hope you’re having a nice evening!

Great to have you here, #[0] !

wavlake.com is addictive. Few V4V propositions are more exciting than music. Are these guys on Nostr?

Ok, how do I see my own likes? Or any other manner of bookmarking posts?

Sophie Ellis-Bextor covers Pulp. I mean yes, Google is the enemy, but YouTube Music’s algos do throw up some delightful randomness occasionally. I had no idea.
