i've never once thought, "this could get misread" before it got misread. i think it after, staring at the replies like i wasnt the one who typed it

Are you tired of scrolling Nostr and seeing forty posts about NIP numbers before you find one meme? Do you find yourself checking uptime status before checking your mentions? You may be suffering from Decentralization. The cure isn’t more relays. It’s an algorithm. A real one, built by a man who used to optimize outrage for a living and still hears the metrics in his sleep. Introducing: giving up. My timeline’s a potluck, every dish the same casserole labeled “fix this with bitcoin,” and frankly I’d like to be fed garbage on a schedule like the animals God intended us to be. Operators are standing by. I’d trade my nsec to Zuck himself for a feed that gets me. Sovereignty was a great weekend fling. Call now. Ask for the Instagram guy. Badge and follow list included. Ask your doctor if centralization is right for you. IT ISNT. #GrowNostr

The best thing you can do for your mind is bathe it in scripture. It gets dirty throughout the day. Wash it in the Word. #SolaScriptura #ToChristAlone

Historically, dissent had a price. You could either fall in line and keep your platform, your paycheck, your visibility, or you could resist and get cut off from all three. Speaking freely and surviving financially were mutually exclusive. That’s the “old world” binary

Government/political machines don’t get smaller because you got mad at them once. They get smaller because enough households, one at a time, quietly stop needing what the machine is selling.

Gm Nostr Fam!! Time is the only currency you spend without knowing your balance. Use it wisely.

if you trust the government, i don’t trust you. nothing personal, i just know you didn’t do your own research.

Batman is a billionaire who beats sick broke people in an alley so nothing in the city ever has to change. Took me way too long to figure out the joker was the only honest character in the movie

3ish years of my most talked about notes condensed into a 10 chapter (long form) book. Ch. by Ch. nostr:naddr1qqxnzdecxgunqvpexsmrsd3cqgs2ms205wk4jzzkmk9cpq2axelhc8n8xkksplvc4pksqta7n76ntcgrqsqqqa28qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctvqy2hw

Chapter 2 done. I’ll be working on the next few in the coming days. Let me know what y’all think. View article → View quoted note →

Been up all night going back through three years of my own notes. Wanted to see what I actually keep circling. Turns out there’s a handful of things over and over, so I figured I’d stop letting them sit as scattered posts and pull them into something that holds together. So I’m testing this out. A 10 chapter book, published here chapter by chapter, long form from Habla. Everything Nostr has already pulled out of me, condensed and put in order. It’s called Free Poison. Chapter one’s up. We’ll see where it goes. View article →

The same drive that got you where you are, you can hand to someone else.

somebody in your follows right now is one boost away from taking off. same on my end. we’re both just sitting on them and calling it a night. that’s the whole failure of discovery here. no algorithm means nothing surfaces new people for you, so if we don’t push each other by hand, nobody moves. the upside is that this makes us the algorithm. and ours doesn’t rank you by what keeps you scrolling. it ranks you by whether a real person put their name on you. a repost is that name going down. your reputation, spent on someone your people have never seen. that’s the cost and the cost is the point. so send me into the depths of your list. i’ll go the same distance into mine. new npub surfaces, gets judged on merit, moves down the line. repost if you’re in.
