Oddbean new post about login | logout using twitter in a world where nostr exists makes absolutely no sense to me. So grateful to have filtered that noise out of my life
I’m surprised more freaks don’t come to the same conclusion. Nostr ecosystem > one walled garden.
ditching the bird app soonnnnn
Just joined Primal/nostr. Quick question: I am following myself and it doesn't seem like I can change that. Is this just a default setting when you create an account?
Welcome to Nostr
Awesome! i think it's a default for most/maybe all? clients when onboarding but i cannot recall why.. @hodlbod @jb55 may be able to provide clarity; but there is no reason to be concerned.
Thanks. Helpful.
It’s if you want to see your own notes in your timeline. In damus and I’m sure most clients you can unfollow yourself. You can even mute yourself in some clients. I miss that 😂
This sounds like Using fiat in a world where sats Exist makes absolutely no sense to me. But yea 💯💯💯🧡‼️
nostr II getting better every day
What would you say is the worst thing about Twitter apart from the KYC, and the algorithm, and the shreiking, the torment . . . anguish . . . regret . . . the lambs Clarece, those awful screams, when will they stop?
I don't know how. You have 65 likes on a Tweet - I can't get 10 people to see my posts, I'm doing something wrong with relays.
Pretty simple. I just decided i don’t want to use a company to enable me to read/write to a database which they own and control. Where they own my identity and prey upon us all as a result. and i don’t care about engagement. The only reason that note got the likes is cause @ODELL shared it. You either see and know the problem and are actively orienting yourself in opposition or you’re supporting the enemy - and for meaningless interactions on their db they call likes of all things
Oh you mean how to get the likes? lol You won’t get the same engagement on nostr yet. But it’s not about that - or shouldn’t be imo. Nostr is tiny still. And thats amazing. Its beautiful to see it being built out in the open and to decouple from being a slave to bullshit metrics like “likes”
I don't care about likes per se it's just a marker of the number of people that see my messages. Size of my audience matters to me because if I'm going to make a difference I'd rather my efforts reach many people.
Yep fair enough. I get it. I think it’s just more about genuinely engaging with people on nostr and conversing, as there is for the most part no algo that will unnaturally feed people your notes like on corporate social spyware platforms.
So do I have to actively make my own list, and manually visit their profiles, or just be lucky to be online and see their post the moment they release it on the feed? I see about 5 to 10 people's posts over and over again, I think something is wrong. Maybe it's Iris/Amethyst combo that's bad.
also to clarify people may be seeing them, and just not reacting - which is most likely the case.
But for for example for the same tweet on Twitter if I get 200+ likes, on nostr there might be five.
Yeah. Meh. Twitter is a shitcoin. Who knows how much of those bullshit likes are bots vs actual people. You do you mate, but as far as i am concerned its about supporting the networks effects you want to see persist. So for me im singularly focussed on nostr
As I said, likes is just a form of measurement and I don't think my point has gotten across because you haven't got passed this language point. I even forgot what we we're talking about LOL
