 I did a thing today.

#Nostr is now my only social media account. 

Decentralize.

All in.

Onwards.

 LFG! 
 Well done. Personal sacrifice for the greater good will be rewarded I hope :) 
 Well done Doc! 
 It's things like this that prove to me that there is no free will.  Just weeks after I quit twitter for reasons unrelated to NOSTR or freedom, there has been an exodus from Twitter.  My subconcience knew something then and I still don't know what that thing was.

nostr:note1mk9hygwd8nedysln77dllzfskw50dvyxejm4dh6s0klrek3ajw7qees5y3  
 Let's go!  
 I respect this immensely, @Dr. Jeff 

Only reason I still have my Twitter is to encourage others to join the freedom protocol #nostr

Let’s build a better world together 🤝 
 This is the way! 
 Purple pilled 
 This is the way!! 💜🫂 
 🧡 
 I was not following you 

But now that your main unit of account is Nostr ….. 

Followed ser 🤣 
 🍻 
 Not easy but we are a few on it too 🙏 
Thx to do it , I’m sure it will be more resilient build 👀 
 Yeah! 
 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.  
 🤝 
 Congratulations! Breaking free! 
 🍻 
 Many will follow 🫡 
 Wow. respect man. I want to, but first grow a a audience, and take them all with me ;)

🫂 
 STAY HUMBLE AND STACK ZAPS 
 Lesgoooo

 great work 
 Respect 🫡

 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I've deleted Twitter on my phone, feels good so far 
 🤯 Onward and upward 
 Turning your back on an established audience is not easy.

A move of integrity 👏🏻👏🏻 
 🍻 
 Nice Jeff. 
 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 🙂). 
 elon is a bitch.  
 Elon may be on Freedom's side, but he doesn't really know what that entails. He likes shitcoins like Doge and only allows KYC'd people to pay for his platform. 

Worse, X is already being blocked by whole countries like Brazil. How long until the rest block it? There is certainly an organized effort to destroy free speech going on around the world and Nostr really is the only thing standing up to that in the long run.  
 True... not gonna argue with that. But X is one of the only large platforms where free speech still exists. And that makes it worth supporting. At least while it's still available.  
 Will you use nostrnests.com too?  
 Hopefully. 
 Here. We. Go. 
 Respect. 
 is it accredited investors only still with your fund Jeff & would U consider v4v for private calls? 
 Same. I’m Nostr only now. Feels great! 
 nice man! Messenger included? 
 As in Facebook’s? 
 WOah woaH WOAH... 

*flips table* 
 Thank you for you service 🫡 
 Fuck yes Jeff! This is the way 🫡 
 Love it! 
 I hope more persons do the same  
 Badass move. I know this is my future eventually. Well done, Doc! 
 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. 
 💪💪💪 
 Congratulations! Onwards to freedom!  
 Inspiring 
 Jeff’s the guy in the music festival video who joins the crazy dude dancing by himself. The party’s getting started! 
 Accurate. 😂 
 kudos! 
 Amazing. Not there yet, but by now, my focus is primarily and automatically on NOSTR when I want to add value through social media. The rest has become much less relevant to me, but I don’t yet have the courage to ‘turn it off’ since, for example, I still generate a decent amount of revenue through LinkedIn. 
 Great job! 
 Now you're out of the Matrix... 
 I followed you. 🫡 
 Fuck yeah Jeff! 
 Yeasss! 
 LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOO https://i.nostr.build/D7BV3YAzlq5gaWxo.jpg  
 I dare say, this is better then the original.  
 and bring more  
 Did the same this last week ⚡️ 
 I'm about it! Which client are you using the most? 
 Damus on my phone. 

Primal on my desktop. 
 Damus on my phone 

Nostrudel on my desktop 

Primal in the garbage 🗑️ 
 Why primal in the garbage? 
 I see that you have a strike wallet linked for your lightning. I was having issues with having users send zaps using my strike account, but I resolved it by using the primal wallet. Would you know why your strike account seems to work? Did link it on a specific client? Appreciate the help 🤝🏼 
 Nice! 
 NOICE! @noicemag 
 Did the same couple of days ago. 👍 
 🤝 
 I deactivated my X account a few days ago too 🦾. We are gonna make it. 
 🤝 
 big win 
 How big is your conviction? 

30 days or 12 months reactivation period? 
 BASED 🔥

 What did you do with Linkedin?

How can you transfer your resume to Nostr? 
 I deleted LinkedIn and 10,000+ connections months ago. I haven’t regretted it at all. 
 Good for you, LinkedIn is the worst of them all imo 
 Smart move. Same here. 
 Oh my gosh. Bolt move!!!

You are right. You don’t OWN any of those 10.000+ connections. Linkedin could take them from you any moment!! 
 Yeah but still Linkedin is a way to get leads and to know the background of people. 
 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.

 🤝 
 dedication 👌 superb!  
 That's courageous with 97k followers! 
 Good choice, your mental health will thank you.  
 Sounds like your sacrifice calls for some Creed:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-fyNgHdmLI 
 Uh 
 Im putting more and more time on nostr. 
 Which one is it 30 days or 12 months?  
 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?

 
 recommendations  for a good VPN? #askNostr 
 Only 3:
ProtonVPN
iVPN
Mullvad 
 Proton 
 Mullvad & Proton. 
 I use proton, seems fine. although I use all their stuff so it makes sense to use the vpn 
 nostr:nevent1qqs8wekawm8x7scjrdjcf3gsy7dm6f7my2v4usasysenzu0kya9lgsgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgswmdrsyuff0tz6v8e80u7dzn09f3n7khxdyrhsm80jn0scdpdmqpqrqsqqqqqpjf6jm2 
 why pfsense vs openwrt? 
 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. 
 Good job.  Burn the boats. 
 NOSTR ONLY 
 Nostr only! 
 My only worry is how class of  '24 will manage when all the great minds are off to Nostr? 
 Welcome to the #NostrOnly club! It’s so much better on this side. 🫂⚡️🤙 
 Chad move, welcome sir 
 This is the way 🙌🏻👏🏻🤝 
 Bold decision. I'm still on X because of my other hobbies. 
Having fun with Bitcoin is not everything😁 
 I'm not there yet...but I should be. 
 go for it my dude time is your scarcest! 
 👏👏 
 Welcome. Hedge funder 
 The few. The bold. 
 Congratulations.. On my way! 
 How much are 97k followers worth? 
 Not as much as freedom. 
 Decentralize - All in

Sooo... which one is it? ;) 
 Nice man 🙌 
 LFG! nostr only! Congratulations on escaping. 
 Wow. Legend 
 Bold move. Let's go Jeff!

 🔥ALL CAPS FOR THE WIN🔥 
 Love it 
 Just done the same thing. No regrets :) 
 Yesterday, I was thinging on the same move, but didn’t make it. Today? Maybe. 
 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! 
 Welcome home 
 U joined the club! Awesome 
 LFG DOC!!! 
 that's a big deal 
 We focus our energy on the world we want to see 🤝🫂

#nostr 
 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 
 🫡 onward! 
 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… 
 This post has Google Plus energy 
 Yep.  the writing is on the wall, all else will land all good people in jail for wrong think. 
 Gm 
 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. 
 Congrats 
 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. 
 
 Followed, and I did too! #Nostr 
 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. 
 Yes. I liked those features. 
 yes, I wanna edit notes. I'm sure it will come eventually. I literally just write about this. 
 THIS IS THE WAY 
 I just checked, there’s still at least 20 of you over there! 
 lol… hundreds of imposters and scammers, unfortunately 
 Signal > Noise

Lots of noise. 
 Thanks. Faantastic 
 only the start  
 🫡❤️ 
 Ooophft! Fearless. Sometimes you've just got to nuke the old. Hopefully that's not the case in humanity. 
 Came over to see where everyone went.  Wasn’t dissatisfied.   Need some good relays.  What do you use? 
 Visit Nostr.watch to explore many relays that we have throughout the Nostr ecosystem. 
 I can’t seem to be able to follow anyone, tried adding/changing relays but it doesn’t add/change them. 

Using primal, anyone any ideas how to resolve?

@jb55 
@Derek Ross 
 @miljan should be the one for @primal 
 You can try logging into Damus and using the first aid fix under settings. 
 If you load your nsec in damus you can use settings > first aid to fix, if you are on ios at least 
 Trying this 
 This worked, thank you! 
 It’s such a common issue, this is why we built the tool! Cheers :) 
 Yes… same thing happened to me on @primal  last week. I didn’t do anything but it started working after a little bit. But still iffy. Not very fluid. Strangely this only happens on new accounts, as far as I can tell. 

Try switching to @damus generally speaking I think Damus handles relays much better. 
 Having same issue on Damus 
 Go with @jb55 suggestion then and try the first aid tool in settings. 
 When checking your profile on Damus I see you’re following 116 persons. On @primal it’s 0 
 Oh, strange, I can’t see my own list of following on Damus maybe that’s why 
 Not sure what’s happening. You had 116 in Damus and now it’s just 2 😅 
 Congratulations brother. Welcome to the #NostrOnly club. 
 Thanks Derek. 
I appreciate the good work you do here. 
 You're welcome and thank you sir.  
 The #NostrOnly movement is growing. We are the signal.

 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?" 
 Love it - haven’t bravely made the move but I support it 
 YAAASSS 
 Bull-crab memes will now ONLY be found on Nostr. 
 As was foretold. 
 Good news… As of late-August, Dr. Bullcrab has morphed into Dr. Bull.
