Oddbean new post about login | logout I can't keep up with the Nostr stuff as well. Too much too fast from too many directions, as not a dev or coder I have a hard time following a lot of the terminology. I understand Bitcoin a little bit better, so being around a lot of others who are equally as enthralled by it, and more technical, is nice. The social thing has never really appealed to me before, but I also never saw the point in arguing with people you'll never meet over the Internet over every stupid ass thing. However these last several months have been a weird and exhilarating experience. Sometimes I can't believe any of shit shit works 😂
💯 It's crazy too how good the translation is most the time. I forget I'm interacting to people who aren't even speaking the same language as me. Which is glorious. It feels way more global here. Like an eclectic group of outside the box thinkers stumbled into each other across the world and all have this crazy idea that we don't need to be shown what we are supposed to want. Honestly that manufactured feeling has become so prevalent that everyone fits like check boxes now. A lot of YouTubers and "influencers" all tick the same list of "how it's done" and it all feels samey. This feels like the raw early 2000's internet of experimenting and bafoonery.
