Very true There's a common ground Other apps are just shitposting

twatter lol

I think about this a lot. Shared ethos at the base layer is what I experienced over the last year, and is new to me. This what stands out to me both on distributed teams like @Damus , and at places where builders get together like @Sovereign Engineering

also emoji reactions to notes.. that’s an underrated killer

i made sure to spec it that way! 😁

nip-07 is very very importante

that's what you and I see. this isn't what others see. I've spoken with friends of mine who work in tech firms. They see the ideological stance of everyone who is on Nostr as a big hurdle. The architecture of Nostr is not an innovative or novel thing, in their eyes. Nostrs beginning was around the same time as other centralized platforms, which often have political motivation behind their development and are reflecting that in the echo chambers they've become. How can Nostr move past this problem?

damus is my jam thanks @jb55

If you are not ideologically aligned with nostr’s vision of having control of your data and freedom to move between clients, then no you would not care, you would simply use the all of the other locked-in, spyware social media clients. If you don’t see the value of bitcoin then no, you will continue to use fiat and the legacy financial system that is designed to spy on you and restrict your freedom. This is not a problem to move past, it’s an education problem for getting people onto the life rafts. The best way to educate is to build this out and make it easy to use.

Nostr is happy cool thugs .. they brag ..they zap .. no one gets their lingo ( clients and relays :- ) ... and they don't care to explain it to anyone .. swag needs no hurry ..

Agree with your last point about building, making Nostr/LN easy to use. The point is though that not everyone has to align with the core ideology of Bitcoin today. People from around the world can and should use it in the best way they see fit, provided they are not hindering others from doing the same. Maybe this killer app or killer use case idea is something that bridges the divide between c. fin. and c. social media and the world of Nostr and BTC. It delivers superior value with the upside of taking back control of our information.

Those likeminded people are the same technical innovators that built and worked on the current social and technical systems for the last few decades so we have a monopoly on the knowledge to build a better future. That knowledge is not taught in schools anymore, they are mostly only taught how to utilize existing systems (if anything at all). The systems the globalist oligarchs want to control and use to manipulate society are already becoming old technology that is losing its allure. Those self appointed rulers don’t innovate, they aren’t very technically proficient, and they certainly aren’t creative so we are already outmaneuvering them. The internet is not a few tech companies and websites centrally controlled. Anyone with a basic understanding of networking and internet history knows this.

dummies prefer centrailzed social with hidden ToS n spyware

need to make it a REAL alternative that's why bitcoin coffee payments matter

Absolutely Will 😃 #BTC #Zap⚡#Nostr #FreeJulianAssange

The correct answer is NIP 4️⃣2️⃣‼️ we must make it easier for everyone to use! This is the peoples Nostr Identity.

Yes. As well a its counterpart, nip-42

i dont have any friends in real life that think the way i do, so it’s nice to find that on nostr
