I did a thing today. #Nostr is now my only social media account. Decentralize. All in. Onwards.

Holy shit my man! You were literally the final reason I finally got off my ass and sorted out finishing my nostr app setups this last week. Dang good timing on my part.

Turning your back on an established audience is not easy. A move of integrity 👏🏻👏🏻
I understand the move, but X is necessary. Elon is on the side of freedom and X Premium is a great way to support freedom (even if Elon doesn't need our dollars). Nostr needs to attract more than just us Bitcoiners and be a place where multiple interests can be explored. Right now, nothing is better at that than X, no matter how much we love Nostr, it's not a replacement of X (but might be someday 🙂).

is it accredited investors only still with your fund Jeff & would U consider v4v for private calls?
I think I was the one to give you notice not to tag Odell in X anymore as he's only on Nostr now. I'll keep an eye out for folks still thinking you're seeing them tag you there also.

The time is ripe to completely embrace the new way of hive mind interaction 🙏 #Nostr I think there's still room to use centralized services in the transition. But maybe not one that aims to stand out as being free, but then isn't and can't be. We'll see, definitely enjoying the journey. image #freedom

step 1: buy an android device step 2: install #grapheneos step 3: get a decent vpn step 4: find an old computer, install #pfsense step 5: find a decent paid service like #protonmail for your email needs step 6: use #signal as much as you can and convert your friends step 7: build your own small server and host as much as you can (your pic, your docs, your media) step 8: delete all your social media and go #nostr only By god if you can do all those things you are well on your way. Suggestions? What am I missing?
Bold decision. I'm still on X because of my other hobbies. Having fun with Bitcoin is not everything😁

Just done the same thing. No regrets :)
Nice work Jeff! Be the change in the world that you want to see Takes some real balls to say goodbye to all that work But it feels a lot like the idea of going “all in” on Bitcoin When you see the value. It’s makes so much sense to do it!

I made my nostr account when you said that you were not posting on X anymore. I need to see how the bull crab market continues

Here is how I would start from scratch to have the best private nostr device and experience. Time to level up npub! Buy an unlocked pixel 7 or higher with cash Flash with #Graphene OS Download Tor browser Download Obtainium Add Orbot Add Amber Add Citrine Add Amethyst Add Minibits Add Zeus Add Oxchat Add SimpleX Add Robosats Add NewPipe Select all the apps to run through Orbot Now set up your nostr profile View quoted note → Turn on Citrine and add it to the outbox relay settings in Amethyst. Add trusted relays as they see everything you do. View article → To add a zapping wallet open Minibits and get a free LN Address and add a mint. Now paste your LN address into Amethyst in your nostr profile. Once you have 100k sats open a self custodial LN channel with Zeus Wallet using their LSP. You now have an anonymous device, running over Tor, with a nostr signing device on the phone, nostr running thru orbot vpn, with a nostr relay on the phone, with a privacy preserving wallet with no personal info attatched. For private encrypted DM log into Oxchat using Amber. You can host your own onion nostr relay and a SimpleX server using a DIY Start9 home setup. For purchasing No KYC sats use Robosats. For watching and downloading videos use NewPipe. Use Freedom Tech to stay private & sovereign!

Nostr is decentralized but it’s still quite concentrated. I don’t find anywhere near the diversity of viewpoints and ideas from those posting here, as I do on the social media platforms. It can be quite an echo-chamber - even on the universal feed. I understand and believe in the potential for it to become significantly diverse but it’s not there yet. Only when the left adopts it to argue with the right and the statist cucks come to fight the libertarians, will Nostr have truly succeeded. So, hopefully, some of your critics and detractors will come on over to argue with you…
All in from tomorrow too, but instead of deactivating my X account I'll pin a last post where to find me here on #Nostr. After all, it's not mainstream yet and people are not going to find you here without some help.
Good. But the Twitter data has certainly not disappeared from their servers
I've been more and more disturbed by some of the posts I've seen on X.com recently so will follow your example. I'll probably use Nostr as my primary platform but will still call into Mastodon occassionally. I still find Nostr to be a bit too bitcoin intensive but this must change overtime.
Glad to see you here. I’ve been following you on Twitter for quite a while and I’ve enjoyed your podcast appearances.
Have you missed the ability to edit/delete messages? I’m very new to #Nostr and already made a few mistakes that I can’t undo (reposted the same post multiple times because of a buggy client). This makes me a bit nervous about going all in.
Ooophft! Fearless. Sometimes you've just got to nuke the old. Hopefully that's not the case in humanity.
It’s such a common issue, this is why we built the tool! Cheers :)

yes, I wanna edit notes. I'm sure it will come eventually. I literally just write about this.
I did the same a months ago. I still look at the first 10 tweets or so once a day and it just reaffirms that this is the right move. Twitter is ULTRA toxic. Every single post has a negative sentiment about something. It's a giant cesspool where everyone fights against everyone. This just can't be good for the human brain. It's a cortisol and adrenaline vending machine. Here? Every post is "hey look guys, I build a cool thing, whaddaya think?"
Do you think we could create a “Kind” or a NIP that helps us create a resume with career, jobs etc like Linkedin on Nostr? I have the json format of a “linkedin profile”. If I want to create a NIP called LinkedinNostrProfile so people can move their whole Linkedin profile to Nostr where can I propose that NIP? And how would I implement that? I need to just load that json somewhere and use it in Nostr. Lateron I need to add to that profile so I need to store it in a database somewhere.
depends on your level of knowledge or determination. there's not much pfsense can't do. you really want your wan on a VPN. can you do that with openwrt? Its been a VERY long time since I looked at it.
