Oddbean new post about login | logout It looks like Nostr is being organically discovered and slowly adopted by some non-Bitcoiner Brazilian personalities with a huge number of followers that see the dangers of centralized media.
Gradually, then suddenly..

Super curious to whom are you referring?
Love it. 🥹

Who remembers Orkut by Google? Okrut was most popular in Brazil. It eventually died though. Let's hope we do better 😂😂 Anyways, organic growth such as this makes me even more bullish on Nostr for 2024. This could lead to our breakout moment. Keep building. nostr:nevent1qqsxjy4xvqp25sqhuya05mn0zmxcllcjy5nvzf3mlx33wkqjqtj28hqpz4mhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2un9d3shjtnrdaksygpm7rrrljungc6q0tuh5hj7ue863q73qlheu4vywtzwhx42a7j9n5psgqqqqqqs6rswm4
You mean this? https://manualdousuario.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/perfil-orkut.jpg
Yes! Did you use it?
It was massive in Brazil and I think Turkey was the other big market? I remember it, was around the time Chatroulette was a thing and each country had their own social networks before they all absorbed into the borg of Meta.
I remember trading an Orkut invite for a Gmail invite back in April 2004 🥹
What are the PT/BR language relays? cc @andreloja @NVK @andre @renatarodrigues https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/1749
Is it possible to have something like WhatsApp groups in Nostr?
SimpleX is a good private message/ group message app
Correto… Bem na hora!
oh shit Nostr is about to go mainstream
Explains the increase in traffic on @shopstr from Brazil.
see @CrisCyborg as an example. But she's a bitcoiner, too!
I remeber No Agenda discussing how Google Places or whatever that social experiment Google did was extremely popular with Brazilians but Google shut it down anyway. You can't shutdown NOSTR. You can't shutdown TCP/IP.
Was huge in a lot of countries world wide
Orkut
Yes, that was it! Thanks. Set up you lightning wallet so I can zap you for your input.
Like taking a train(a mean to get somewhere) and when you reach your stop, you get off no matter how many people are still there. Someone stays until the end though.
Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000. The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered. To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct. The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance or guidance you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated. I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact. Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide. BTC: bc1q9vfmfwj6av9pxj50r6xyl652mwhqvw5ds86nw2
Brazil was one of the early adopters of Google’s Orkut (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkut) back in the day. Nostr getting a real boost in recognition by Brazilians?
I don't care about the West. #LatAm is where it's at for the rest of this century. nostr:note1dyf2vcqz4fqp0cf6lfhx79kd3ll3yffxcynrh7drzavpyqhy50wqf73adc
This is the way, let the grass roots movement take hold
There are a lot of networks that are unknown to the world because they cater to specific communities and countries, but people moved to big tech over time, hopefully nostr brings it back! A few years ago the biggest social media app in South Africa, was a local one named #MXit, then #Facebook came along with Messenger and WhatsApp and killed it I think that nostr can be the plaform for these developers to try again and create experiences that users in that region want, not this dry stale apps that must cater to everyone nostr:note1dyf2vcqz4fqp0cf6lfhx79kd3ll3yffxcynrh7drzavpyqhy50wqf73adc
So we're back again? https://m.primal.net/HZbp.jpg

Boa!!!
Let’s go!
This is the way! Just like #Bitcoin, we can't get people to use #Nostr until they feel like they actually need a decentralized and uncensored medium for communications. These Brazilian folks are realizing that they have that need and Nostr is ready for them.
At the same time, people of latin American origin are a major force in reshaping American politics against the "woke" degeneracy of the Democratic party. I see hope coming from Latin America. And a lot of cocaine, too. 😁 #america #politics #grownostr nostr:nevent1qqsxjy4xvqp25sqhuya05mn0zmxcllcjy5nvzf3mlx33wkqjqtj28hqpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzqwlsccluhy6xxsr6l9a9uhhxf75g85g8a709tprjcn4e42h053vaqvzqqqqqqyfz4ajp

We brazillians are suffering censorship.
the world is under censorship. try accusing chabad jews of their wrongdoings, and you'll see who runs the show for real
If #nostr stays a bitcoin only community. It will die a slow death until something else better comes along.
Who, for example? I wish you are right, but I don't see it yet. Maybe now that X is censoring who dares to accuse chabad fake jews of their wrongdoings, ppl will wake up to the fact that Elon is a fake hero, and will come here
This has been long predicted. Just didn't know exactly how many brazilian of them.
