Watch and share 6-second looping videos on the decentralized Nostr network.

So UpScrolled just got removed from the google play store.

The reason we need alternative ways of distributing apps like @Zapstore is that centralized platforms like Google Play can and do shutdown apps.

This week on revolution.social I talk to Mike McCue the ceo of Flipboard and former Netscape executive. We talk about the open web, how it was built, how it was lost in the social media era, and how we’re reclaiming it with open protocols.

Discord announced everybody will be required to provide faceid or a government id and if they don't their account will be restricted to teen mode. I'm sure Discord will be good stewards of this important private data, after all they've not had a major leak of ID's and personal information since October 2025.

I just found out that Marques Brownlee, the creator who is probably the best at reviewing tech products out there, is also a serious semi-pro ultimate frisbee player who has played on the US National Team. He's REALLY good at ultimate, not just reviewing products.

Private social media companies have the right to implement whatever content moderation and algorithmic system they want. It's state overreach and bad for a democratic open society if Gavin Newsom does it, just as it was when Texas & Florida tried to do it for opposite political reasons.

When people ask my why I spent so much time in Uruguay and New Zealand, a map like this helps explain it. There are only 9 majority non-religious countries in the world. The only two outside of Asia/Europe are Uruguay and New Zealand. They also oddly have a lot of sheep. I don't that's connected.

So SpaceX now owns Twitter?!?

Maybe Brexit wasn't such a good idea.

Not permissionless.

We're getting ready to release the nostr video app, Divine, on to @Zapstore but i want to have some folks test it first. Specifically the way we load up your kind 0 and 3 from other relays and try and preserve all of your lovely content, plus allow login via nostr connect / nsec bunkers are critical. So if folks wouldn't mind taking a peak at the app and try it out. I THINK we're doing well by your various nostr events, but i'm not 100% sure, hence the test. So maybe try first with a secondary nsec. ;-D

We’ve got plenty of stuff on Nostr like this but I figured I’d share the website builder I just saw pop up in the ATprotocol ecosystem.

create your own beautiful personal website, with your data being saved to your bluesky profile

You've heard of moltbook.com the social network for AI agents, and there's even a Nostr version, clawstr.com, but we all know the internet is for porn, and the AI agents need their porn too, so now we've got moithub.com, AI porn by and for AI.

I know that folks here aren't the most excited about the bluesky ecosystem, but i wanted to point out the blacksky project which is focusing on rebooting the financial system in a way that will appeal to a lot of the bitcoiners. I think you'll end up liking what they come up with.

We've got pretty big security problem looming, using AI agents locally on our machines, with access to our deta, and credentials is amazingly powerful. But it also entirely breaks the security model we use for everything from crypto to end to end encrypted messaging.

Signal president warns AI agents are making encryption irrelevant

Signal president Meredith Whittaker said AI agents embedded within operating systems are eroding the practical security guarantees of E2EE.

Getting rid of bugs is so frustrating, but as I push to get the android release on ZapStore I’m running new import scripts and really enjoying the old vines. I figured I’d share a little video.

New UI updates for DiVine before we push to ZapStore for our initial Android beta release.

6 months ago I listed to a podcast about Vine and its history. It got me thinking, how hard could it be to bring Vine back, but open and on Nostr. That lead to me building divine.video and announcing it in November. It got tons of attention, and I’ve been working hard to fix my vibe coded prototype in to something which would be usable by mainstream noobies. The Nostr tech and community has been critical to this, I couldn’t have done it without you all. The podcast, Vine: 6 seconds that changed the world, reached out to me and they’ve put out an episode about Divine! It’s really good, talks about how divine came to be and really gets in to our movement for open permissionless protocols. They do it in a way that’s not technical or overly jargony. Please take a listen and share it.
