Oddbean new post about login | logout If you use all caps you can be cool. The best way to help build this protocol is to bring your community, post everyday, zap and note.
If there was a tool to cross-post from X to Nostr I would. But I just simply don't have time for both and think the audience on X needs pro-privacy, pro-freedom tech, pro-freedom money content more right now.
I appreciate your thresh hold, I think such a bridge will be impossible as the centralized powers will not open their walled gardens. May you reach the masses while there is still time. Hopefully you can use zap.stream or halba.news and cross post that content to twitter.
Agree that Twitter users have a more urgent need for your content than the average nostrich I do miss your hard-question-Sundays here, though…
definitely need to bring those back 🫡
You’re complaining about Nostrs privacy but have an X account? You’d rather give your government ID, phone number, and email to Israeli intelligence than use Nostr… in the name of privacy? 🤣
LARP 😅🪦
People can’t quit the Twitter drug because they are addicted to their followers and their “reach”. These people will learn very quickly that neither are truly theirs if they ever say anything truly meaningful. Limiting “reach” is already a standard practice on Twitter and will only get worse as time goes on.
I didnt give ID, real number, or real email to X. No one has to. Not sure why this lie persists on Nostr when it's demonstrably false.
Maybe, but it could be the reality tomorrow and you'd have zero say in the matter.
And that's why I will always keep Nostr handy as a fall-back, worst case. Of course im not going to KYC for social media.
Why not give ‘em this info if you want? Is it necessary for companies to have ever needed this information from anyone?
You’re being rate limited then. Those restrictions get worse over time, never better. Good on you for not giving in yet though! I made the assumption you were a blue check and I had no way to verify. Still, many users DO give up personal information by design, especially big accounts. Why would you want to give energy to that system?
I am a blue check, doesnt require KYC and never has 🤷♂️ I'm not giving energy to that system, im ising it as a platform to help give people the resources they need when they wake up. if we're all here on Nostr circlejerking theyll have no idea what theyre missing and what to do next to gain freedom.
Ok I’ll bite. I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong, if I am. I’ll download Twitter right now just to see what information it would take for me to get a blue check. In terms of the “Nostr circlejerk” I agree that Nostr is a community of very like minded individuals. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to try and “wake up” others online, but I’ve never found any success. It’s hard to know if you’re even talking to a real person, much less what their views are and how best to reach them. I come to Nostr to share ideas and learn from an online community which I enjoy being a part of, not to educate the masses. People in the real world who are connected with us physically are the types of people it’s more important to wake up, and that’s where I fight that battle.
No blue check without at least verifying a phone number. Not to mention that you have to pay somehow (probably debit or credit card) and you were asked for an email and date of birth upon sign up (these are easily spoofed but most won’t). I would be shocked if you were using this platform without leaking absolutely all of your privacy, especially seeing as you claim to have a blue check. https://image.nostr.build/b42a3391fd789257485b004c8e1845f26dbcb3dc11672763e00122759244af03.jpg https://image.nostr.build/8726ec6a0ec56afd2535a3c414926898261d84e26222ecb307be309a6bc58a59.jpg https://image.nostr.build/ac0bf8fa9431ee9179a711298955e75389135e7d88ff2bb656d4291516d7ed2d.jpg

So let me get this straight 1. Fake email 2. Fake date of birth 3. Fake name 4. Debit card not connected to my identity which I filled up using Bitcoin 5. Phone number not connected to my identity which I bought (how? I don’t even know) All to only leak my IP to Twitter (Israeli intelligence) instead of leaking it to my relays? And I’m still not completely sold on the ID argument seeing as their graphic included ID verification, but I couldn’t get further without giving them my phone number
Out of curiosity, what do you think your success metric is for helping “wake up” people over there?
The problem derives from Management. Always does. Time and management are at best At best against each other. No hogwash can fix this bullshit. Although I can’t ignore time being an issue, but I repeated time and time again everyone’s outlook on how long this or that will be is oh years and years short.
Feeding the monster doesn't really help the ones getting munched.
Ctrl+A. Ctrl+C. Ctrl+V. Should work. Ymmv.
Connect.nos.social works for posting from nostr to twitter (x)
👀 Is a twitter account required? Can I chat with twtr users? Can I see or follow a particular twitter account via nostr?
It just posts nostr content to twitter. It’s not as good mostr.pub which is a full two way gateway between nostr and the fediverse.
D'ailleurs il y a plusieurs nostriches qui ont leurs comptes sur X, et créent autant de comptes sur nostr éphémères pour booster des notes, critiquent ces autres plateformes.. et ceux-là sont la plupart des adeptes du Bitcoin dont l'objectif est de vendre du Bitcoin (propositions de gains souvent illégales à tendances frauduleuses..) tout en critiquant ceux comme Ftx (Sam..),
will give it a try, thanks!
It’s funny that Seth has tried to stir up the Nostrich nest and all he’s actually done is show that he doesn’t know what’s been happening here or why people have stuck around on nostr. Massive self-own.
Ego. That seems to be the originator. Folks concerned more about their engagement numbers than the fundamentals of what the protocol and/or [enter freedom tech service here] have to offer for the betterment of society. Previous example being Archie from Bitcoin Archive. Dopamine from likes is a helluva drug.
🎯
this really makes sense if we want people to smoothly transition from x to nostr, and really "own" their followers i have been considering starting something similar. @rabble are you the author? would you be interested in chatting?
I didn’t write the code but i was involved. Happy to chat. Here’s the source: https://github.com/planetary-social/nos-crossposting-service
Does it work with other social platforms/apps too?!
The idea is to support other platforms. It’s open source so we can do it together. https://github.com/planetary-social/nos-crossposting-service
It's a good idea, saves time. Including more social platform or apps will be even better.
Do I have to keep Connect.nos.social webpage active each time when I want to get my Nostr notes posted on my Twitter account?! Will there be a "connect.nos.social" tab on the sidebar or settings of nos.social app?!
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4d/8a/fa/4d8afa3a5fe5a95960fe647168879772.jpg
It's not about crossposting. The only reason to stay on X is making people aware of Nostr. And publish high quality content here.
Why do you still have X? If you want to advocate about privacy do it from your website/podcast/wherever you can keep your privacy. If you deliver quality stuff people will fins you anyway. By keeping your account you are justifying the existence of X's business model. But the truth is that, below the surface, we still need X to gain popularity asap. And this is the original sin. Find the courage and get rid of it.
