I'm going to need to dig up some of your takes on MLS to see what we'll pick for the private groups and DMs 😉

I think this is the Secret Sauce that most casual observers don't get. They don't get that it's not a question of mere numbers, or getting some famous person to cross-post. It's a question of WHO LIVES HERE. Who shows up, at least one per week, and interacts for hours, so that the people who want to speak with them can find them here, and have an incentive to stay here because THEY KNOW THAT PERSON LIVES HERE AND READS THE MAIL SENT TO THIS ADDRESS. The personal relationships of some of the people on Nostr are increasingly intertwined, deepened, and real life. It's worth it, to me, to hang around because my frens and project colleagues are also on here and I know that I can call out into the void here, and the void is full of my frens, and they call back. It's a community. And there are subcommunities that want to get a private room to talk amongst themselves or about some pet topic. And that is how we #grownostr.

i went and shopped around for MLS libraries. there are very few. the most active was rust. i read all the docs i could find about it and now my take is.. without libraries in other languages and much work to be done on existing libraries to bring them up to date and nostrify them, how many years we looking at here? like 5? 😂 sorry but vaporware just not my jam. cool tech tho.

once per WEEK?! wow, I guess I don't just "live here"... I might be partislly mixed into the concrete.

What you want is the higher class of trolls. Dry, sharp wit and a sense of merry. Elon is a good example actually.
