Oddbean new post about login | logout I may not have that many well thought out points to bring to a lot of the discussions here, mainly because I'm not intelligent enough to understand a lot of it. I try to run myself in the red with zaps, to the degree I can afford, because I want to support as much as I can, both content, paid relays and some devs. So I just go about my day and make obscure movie references, intentionally poorly constructed wordplay and memes that make no sense or just poke fun at the current shit of the day. I like making people laugh. If any of you find any of it moderately humorous. I'd consider my time here not wasted.
And if you don't find any of it funny, fuck me I guess 🤷 https://cdn.nostr.build/p/mY0v.jpg
I’m not sure where your confidence went but rest assured whatever it is you’re worried about, we don’t care about. Happy to have you as you are, don’t expect you to be anything else ☺️
No worries! You and I are like the first customers thrown in with the devs. It’s kinda interesting to see how the sausage is made I guess… We have a rare opportunity to look behind the curtain of something, but in reality I could care less about the hash and the latest nip and all of it. Their knowledge will sink into us through osmosis, and we will be l33t by the time others arrive. The OG nostr überchads.
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 😂
You're good craic man , I would notice straight away if you weren't around here .
💯 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.
Sadly no, I don’t believe so. This is Xanga. Remember Xanga came before MySpace? Neither does anybody else. I don’t know if nostr will continue in primacy among this type of media, but if it doesn’t we have the leg up. Just the same way as early adopters of Xanga became the cornerstone influencers of MySpace and Facebook, we have a seamless transition. Imagine all the Karens waking up and realizing they needed 20sats to angry face a FB post. They won’t know how to fund their wallet, they probably just won’t react to any posts, and they’ll wither away societally. They will have a hard time adjusting. We are already there. I’ve seen a lot of things come and go. Bulletin boards, and then forums. Xanga, and then MySpace. “Email” over ham radio, and then emails on your smart device. The biggest example, intranets, and then the Internet. Welcome to the future. It’s already here.
Like creating a bar to entry for the 0 INT people. You want it, you got to earn it. But we have to help the people who want in if we want it to "succeed." That includes the average people who don't know how to use bitcoin or sats. And I'd rather enjoy having some average people around. Maybe I'm crazy.

I'll do my best 😂🫡🤝 https://cdn.nostr.build/p/mYQQ.gif
