Happy Halving Day! 🍻 What are your thoughts on the obsession with the person/people behind Satoshi Nakamoto? Who and/or what do you think has contributed the most to bitcoin? Any parts of bitcoin history that particularly interest you or are you squarely focused on the future?
P.S. everyone welcome to respond
Heard he’s lovely to work with. He’s got some obsessive fans though. A beautiful young woman posted a photo with him from a beach. Some of his fans went off on Twitter about how she wasn’t good enough to be his girlfriend and put her on blast. Turned out it was just a fellow fan who met him for a few minutes and asked for a photo. 😱 Yikes for her.
I find it interesting that so many people reacted so strongly to the idea that users should have more tools to curate their personal experience on Nostr. I feel like some people confuse having the right to free speech with the idea that I should have to listen to or read it. I do highly recommend people step out of their echo chambers and follow people with differing viewpoints. I’ve always wanted the ability to have different presets for my feed that I can turn on and off before scrolling. Like some days I just want to turn off all political posts and just see things I consider fun and funny.
I curse like a drunken sailor sometimes. If someone wants a bot to prevent seeing posts where my language gets colorful. Great! I’m not owed an audience. Nor do I really care to interact with people so easily offended. I figure it works out for both parties.
@jack's vision for NOSTR shouldn’t supersede all. Neither should @fiatjaf's. Protocols should have a way to take on a life of their own. The most amazing possibilities for NOSTR I don’t believe have been imagined yet. Build what you wish to see. If you’re not a dev contribute to devs building what you want to use. Also extend devs grace. Building takes time. They can’t starve or let their families starve in the meantime. If there’s something you envision that isn’t being built, learn to code, or hire a dev. Be a different kind of keyboard warrior. nostr:note1d5adc6qqafgj79qwcsh6fttvu6ce6pvm7ztcxtxurel6fsuv2wtq3zlqwf
Feedback is helpful when you build something. I know sometimes I need to work on how and when to provide constructive criticism. I see others who maybe struggle with it even more than I do.
P.S. @Kieran and @Derek Ross it would be awesome if scheduled nests would appear in UTC or show as the local time of those looking at the nest preview.
@damus used to be better about muting all the subsequent notes if you muted the original hell thread post.
Just noting an issue brought up by the hell thread.
Is it wrong that as soon as I posted this my brain started singing, 🎵
Let's talk about books, baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that we read
Let’s talk about books 🎵
