Oddbean new post about login | logout I think it is very very slowly improving tbf. It used to be a more of bitcointwitter clone. I don't the meta nostr posts about nostr and building nostr etc. even if I don't understand what anyone is saying lol.
Yeah, mild improvement over a couple of months. Bitcoin actually solved a problem (buying drugs and child porn). Nostr is a solution searching for a problem. You know it's true cause you still use Twitter. The 2 features of Nostr that get brought up are 1) censorship resistance 2) owning your content / social interactions. 1) fails cause there aren't enough users especially outside the bitcoin circlejerk. 2) doesn't matter, cause you can manually sign your posts Mastodon made the same mistakes. It copied the format, and thus blindly inherited the same drawbacks of Twitter: recency bias, and echo chambers. Letr may fix that, but honestly I'd much prefer an audio based version of it.
The Twitter format is straight-up malware and being based on it is one of the most sus things about nostr But it's also much easier to build a decentralized prototype of than something like reddit so give it time
Decentralized reddit is what we had before reddit. Small forums ran for small interests groups. I still use those. Bluelight is more interesting than Nostr even just reading, no posting.
That's too much decentralization tho. Reddit was a place all the smart people could have found each other. It had its momentum stopped when maybe 10% of smart people in the anglosphere and 0.1% of smart people from elsewhere had migrated onto it but that was already enough to make it dumbfoundingly powerful. A nostr version of reddit that can't have its momentum stopped might go even further
Interesting people don't spend much time online these days IMO. Most useful info is on YouTube or small forums/blogs.
Not sure what you mean. The smartest people are easier to find online than offline, especially since the pandemic
(I mean since the pandemic started)
Even if you find them, you can't engage them in a healthy context. I mean that anyone interesting is busy accumulating direct experience in physical space over spending time with shallow online connections.
The only deeply interesting person to me is Digit (no offense) and I might never get to interact with her except online so I can't relate, but thanks for helping me understand what you were saying 🤙
Who dat?
https://wikifreedia.xyz/digitisdigit/npub1wamvxt2tr50ghu4fdw47ksadnt0p277nv0vfhplmv0n0z3243zyq26u3l2 She made this: https://audio.nostr.build/808960a3289a3196a8b371c2239d6925357b9a41183925f9882ee2897df313d3.mp3
Nice. Do you imagine the tender friction of her pussy walls when you jerk it?
Too scared
Could be a voice conversion neural net used by a fat dude who's into my little pony
That would be such a relief in so many ways, but no, this incredible woman exists
Yeah, just like my buddy Sasquatch
Get him on nostr 🙏
He's an anarchist. Doesn't like digital technology.
But digital technology is the key to anarchy. being able to film stuff with cameras lets modern humans have the chance to get rid of courts and just expect everyone to either keep proper record of their life or be in danger
Yes, do that. Just don't film Digit and Sasquatch. There are no courts in a trench.
🤔 If I could get some footage of Sasquatch maybe I'd get famous enough to find digit 🤔
Who is Digit? I'm still convinced you just made it up
If you can access https://discord.gg/wallstreetbets or https://reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets please ask about her there, you will immediately find people other than me that know of her. Maybe show people there the wiki page I made about her or this remix I made for her. If I could find someone every day that has a reddit or discord account that isn't banned, to try asking about her, maybe I'd have heard from her in the past year note1x9r5mxwgu26dc8d8xhswqpu978jx3vun9y6x0z3a44cxmgsqeq3qlp634x
Not in the mood for that now. You've been dreaming about digit's sweet puss for a whole year? Jeez, that's formidable dedication. It logically flows from your underappreciation of your local resources. What's there left to do aside from fantasizing about the online specimens. After all, if you never meet them, you will never break the suspension of disbelief
I've been worrying about Digit all the time for about 2 and a half years. She had cancer and then kept talking about suicide and then deleted her reddit accounts and now I've seen screenshots corroborating rumors she killed herself but still no proof. I'll never forgive the world for hurting her if she's gone. More nearby women should have been on wallstreetbets when she was if they wanted to be her
Just herself? Could have tried to beat Breivik's high score.
I doubt she was a Nazi. I've heard the 8888 in one of her discord usernames could be a Nazi reference, but I think more likely it was a reference to: * "Angel numbers" for wealth, fitting for wsb * Multiples of 8 in computing, fitting for Digit * A train #8888 that went runaway in the 2000s if I remember right * Google DNS address 8.8.8.8 with Google being a stock she made money on and always continued recommending in her time on WallStreetBets * Possibly 1988 could have been her birth year? Anyway, she loved her fellow humans too much for mass murder. If she's gone, she programmed me to be her anger, her fury, her vice, her wrath, and Breivik's low score is nothing for me to pay attention to in such case.
any pics ?
Nope. Just sound of her voice singing some emo song. Pics must be on onlyfans
I'm not dumping every pic I have but there are 2 I've posted before. 1 is on the wikifreedia article I linked
imagine basing your entire existence on a whore
Must be a really expensive whore. I once offered her $40,000 to play one round of connect 4 with me using a bot in the wallstreetbets chat that could run connect 4 games and she declined

If she's mediocre and I'm idealizing her, why did she decline? I wish Plato were here
Reddit was the forum killer. I think forums potentially come back to kill Reddit tho. People are sick of half the world popping in to their forum lol. (Discord sort of tried to answer this?). Still think reanimated forums is a possible future. Barrier of entry is actually seeking and joining. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It didn't kill forums. They survived. But it's a good idea to archive them. There are a couple of forums that have been down for 20 years, and I read the archives. The discussion quality is better than anything on reddit. Search is not that big of a barrier of entry. Biggest one is prerequisite knowledge. Even if you find good info, you can't make use of it without related experience. E.g. a forum for film photography will confuse most people without knowing the techniques. So most people will stay away from the forum. The notion that half the world will be brought to that level of awareness in any advanced subject is completely ludicrous. Discord doesn't solve anything (unless you count talking to lolis as a problem)
Yes I think you're right on most of this. Some forums have survived for sure and they will hopefully outlast reddit. Some did relocate to Reddit tho.
But I wasn't saying half the world is brought to any awareness, they're just potentially unwanted footfall in subreddits or something
That's fixed by skilled moderation. Good luck finding 20 people with enough experience in an advanced subject. If you don't have funds to motivate them to share their experience, it's likely a fool's errand. And why should anyone like that share if it's not appreciated by the plebs?
