this is exactly what early/pre 5000 users Twitter felt like. But better.

jack, can you share any link that lists all the usable clients/interfaces showing which features they support? I’m looking for one where I can edit my name and pic and also post memes
Not every client supports channels, but if you want to start one please do! I'll link to it across the documentation.

will always love it
noob Question: I went to damus.io and it asked for my pub key, entered it and my feed populated.. went to reply to a post and it asked for my priv key.. i know that is how i am technically 'signing' my message, just feels odd entering it like that, but that is the way right?
Yes. That is the way but I use Alby. It's a web extension that sort of does all kinds of neat Bitcoin stuff and functions as a LN wallet.  I also use it to hold my pubkey and privkey. It talks to every #nostr client I have used and will log you into these clients with your pubkey
Another question if you don't mind, where do you host your pp image? I have tried imgur, imgbb and even my twitter pp url but nothing worked so far
This reminds me of a party when everyone is talking to multiple people about multiple topics, and its fun, and it works…Twitter now feels like your your at the window of that party and just looking in…

the centralized moderation tools. But this is something new. Excited to see what it wants to be.
It will be interesting to see - how do you tackle content that is not suitable for say children and others vulnerable in the society like child abuse or elder abuse. I can guarantee Damus for example will still be subject to Apple Store policies I am guessing for content moderation. Thoughts?

I forget. Took quite a while to get to 5k though
I’m missing a good chunk of data. But we went from around 15,000 unique pubkeys to 50k+ the last couple weeks. Maybe around 35k active pubkeys the past couple weeks. Damus app has around 9k followers which all new users follow by default. We went from around 100k events to 1,250,000k events. Not all are text events however. Nothing exact. But some guidance.
58k users will be the inflection point. It has been foretold. #NostrDamus

There is another maybe fuller list on GitHub i don't remember actually now which is named something like awesome Nostr.
@jack I'm not sure what you are talking about. I really, really want to like #nostr, the tech is interesting. But every time I open my client every other post reeks of cryptobro anarcoliberism and toxic masculinity and I. Just. Can't.

You can use mastodon relays in nostr and there's more interesting stuff. Go to mostr.pub and ass their relays. I was also tired I'd Bitcoin bullshit more now I'm finding some interesting stuff

Contribute more to change the tone. Twitter was very much a bubble to start for a few years.

Right now the community is relatively small and, at times, a bit one-sided As nostr develops over time you can choose to be where the tone suits you
Rien plus absurde que de répondre sur des notes de npup éphémères . Qu'est ce que vous perdez du temps ' sérieux ...j'avais observé ce type de postes sur Twitter et eh bien @jack pourquoi ça en est de même ici sur vos notes . Rappelez juste que nous sommes comme en *vase clos* sur nostr , demeurons s'il vous plaît sur l'objet des notes . Sinon pour certains qui ne vous supportent qu'ils optent pour le *mute* de grâce 🙏🙏💜💜
nobody curates your feed except you and the client you use. people are really unused to not having their decisions made for them. me, i got fed up with decisions being made for me 12 years ago and i'm glad to finally have control.
Be the change. Start posting about the things that interest you: Climate Change The importance of the state Mask Wearing Limiting individual rights Growing government Money printers And virtue signaling. 🫂
хахахахахахахахахахХАХАХАХАХА да комарад так really, i'm not russian, my display name is sorta like a valid word with the 'u' case in serbo-croatian, and i set up my programmable mech keyboard so i could type in cyrillic to a lovely bulgarian lass - same keys except one extra ёЁ than the bulgarian is russki keyboard. appeal to authority is incredibly droll, isn't it? "i don't like nostr because i don't have my data being mined for advertisers and filtered to stay within the overton window and i feel threatened and angry that the early adopters are all bitcoin maximalists".

where are we at now a year later?
Have you seen #grownostr? I haven't seen a high level of toxic (destructive a nd harmful) masculinity on the protocol. What does this mean to you?
Yeah, and if they don't know toxic masculinity. They don't know what they're missing..😂🤣😭 💪😊
