Be me, want to post on nostr: - log in to primal and only see some random new account i didn't create - spend 15 minutes looking for a login button that didn't exist - spend 10 minutes wondering why i'm liking posts and nothing is happening - send @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 several angry rants - downloaded Primal app but it was only mobile on a desktop and was terrible, and be frustrated - Call @The Daniel 🖖 - Figure out my Alby account created a new random account for me, and i was logged in to another user, and for some reason i need to store my login in alby or water - realize i don't have any of these suggested wallet options. only uses custodial lightning wallets - get referred to @Shipyard / told it was a good scheduling tool FML. back to work. we try again tomorrow

Finally figured out why I had 2 Nostr accounts all this time. I had the HEX version of my private key, not my nsec. This tool by @Keith Mukai was very helpful and ultimately got me logged in again <3

Back on Nostr after 2 years. What did I miss?

Look I’ll be honest. I’ve been a HUGE Nostr hater. I honestly can’t fucking use this damn app and it makes me feel like an idiot. I have NO IDEA why you guys like it I follow people that I never end up following, I write messages I can’t see, and the only advice I get is to do a bunch of random technical hoo-ha But yesterdays Twitter hack was a BIG wake-up call. I got almost no help from centralized Twitter So I’m going to commit to spending 30 minutes a day to try to figure Nostr out, okay? 🤝 Day 1. Let’s go ⚡️
