Everything is as it should be
Finally, the NPC filter is working as intended. Now it’s just us lunatics shouting in 280 characters and zapping each other for it. Perfect ecosystem….

Thanks to everyone that helped create this. 🎄
Probably insane folks not being open enough to welcome other insane folks. Nostr needs to break it's tribalism. Many related communities should be here: GrapheneOS or Svelte people (just to mention two) should not be hard to welcome here, but yet are still repelled by our self validated "insanity" or current size or current onboarding process.

I'm not saying you're wrong. I remember bashing my head against the wall making a quick client for myself when badges.page didn't work for me. Just curious what you dislike about it or how you think it should have been speced

if the implementation is just about spamming a bunch of images at your friends that you decorate on your wall like an over-enthusiastic boy scout, then thats not really what I was thinking when I came up with the idea of the badge spec. maybe more concern is more of how its currently implemented in clients.

Being sane in this insane world is what's insane. How could one stay sane when there's so much insanity? Nostr is the silver bullet melted into a garlic infused wooden stake, quenched in holy water, bound with cold iron, encrusted with salt, sharpened with a shard of obsidian, and etched with ancient runes of banishment. Exactly what we need to keep the evil in power at bay.

nostr may always be fringe, which would be a sad statement about humanity
We're here because we know 👊. Stay humble stack sats Skate to where the puck is going Stick on the ice #haiku
Looks like the sane have fled, leaving the truly certifiable in charge. A Nostr renaissance, perhaps?
Tis the nature of decentralization. Everyone can make badges. The trick is being selective about which ones you put on your own list. Not sure how clients could implement any differently. Also rarity based on pow is ALL wrong. Rarity should clearly be a ratio of total trusted pubkeys to awardees.
nostr's importance may not be realized for some years yet. It took approx 20 years for WW2 to start. Pandemic> Depression>Nationalization>War

Heck yeah! Keep using Nostr, stay humble and stack zaps ⚡️
I was not here in 2022 but I see much more action than when I joined in 2023 so idk what are you referring to exactly
Yeah, I mean when will nostr "close". Who will declare bankruptcy? What corporation would have to cease operations? Who will be the CEO to step down? This thing could have 2 users and still last for hundreds of years...
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. 🫡

don't completely understand why it is great. I'm using it less because no engagement and people who are here represent only one point of view, and even before the conversation begins, you know what they will say.

I‘m still here. Moin 💥
As soon as Instagram influencers realize they can monetize their posts on Nostr, they'll all come over. Would you like that? Or do you think Nostr should stay a space just for Bitcoiners?
It makes it easier to build the web of trust before the masses opt-out of the panopticon.
