Planned obsolescence isn't just about products. Sometimes it's about habits, software, institutions, even ideas. Systems designed to become indispensable before they become disposable. What's the most devious example you've encountered? #PlannedObsolescence

Social media spends enormous effort deciding what people should or shouldn't see. What if the better question were: What kind of conversation do you want to join? @Vitor Pamplona #nostriquette

"The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good." (Proverbs 15:3) For centuries, omniscience belonged to God. Today, states and corporations increasingly aspire to something similar. We reject institutional omniscience. Yet many traditions accepted divine omniscience without hesitation. Is decentralization ultimately a technological idea... ...or a theological one? @@Kudzai Kutukwa

Most social media feel like a restaurant. The table is chosen for you. Nostr removed the seating plan. But it hasn't yet become a good bar. A good bar doesn't tell you where to sit. It helps you find the table whose conversation is worth joining. Perhaps that's the next challenge for #NostrClients. @fiatjaf

I wonder whether #Nostrclients are optimizing the right thing. Most seem designed to maximize the supply side, favoring broadcasting. But conversations need equal attention for the demand side, which is defined by relevance, not volume.

If Nostr gives us a new architecture for speech, can it also revive conversation as an unrehearsed intellectual adventure? 🪑 Save my seat. #Nostriquette

As an internet OG, I remember #Netiquette. It was an interesting attempt to preserve the quality of online conversation. It gradually disappeared as platforms became larger and more centralized. Nostr feels different. I wonder whether decentralized protocols make possible a different kind of conversational culture—not enforced, but freely cultivated. #Nostriquette? What would that mean to you?

Legal systems are sooo dead! #TheEconomist 22nd July 2026

#TheEconomist newspaper is engaging into story telling.

"The Voice of Poetry in the Conversation of Mankind" by #MichaelOakeshott is the one essay I reread every year during my summer vacation.

I wonder why nobody responds to #DMnostr. If the plan is to replace #WhatsApp, we should probably start answering them.

Every reader has celebrated novels they quietly abandoned. My latest one is #InfiniteJest.

Sometimes people wager that a deliberately stupid decision will be mistaken for courage. 🪑 Save my seat.
