 A town square should serve the people, not a billionaire with incentives. 
 THIS! 

But also, it's soooooooo hard. Be kind to yourself and know that the striving towards is ... 
 Keep working hard Jeff! 
 Hey, would like to get in touch with you and @jack . I have been working on something awesome. 
 The guy that made this meme (like actually took the picture) has been publicly enjoying the fact ... 
 @Collin 
 Come on people I need some interaction to know where to go! 
 Damus doesn’t have an algorithm so it’s hard to connect with content you align with right off the bat. Nostr feels like eating plain oatmeal and berries instead of a McDonald’s double cheeseburger (X) 
 The backend has to get more efficient for sure. It’s posting a nostr event with a link of your updated pfp to every relay you are connected to 
 The web faces a larger range of attack vectors compared to mobile apps. There are some people on here working on solving the complexities around all of this stuff. Rabble’s interactions will probably lead you places

 Nostr attracts the adventurers, frontiersman and tinkerers to participate in a new era of computing. Let’s keep pushing to make this a growing ecosystem for all. #nostr 
 When is the next major nostr event? #asknostr 
 Cool. Where is it? 
 This is a really interesting idea and alternative to the way we could do custom algorithms with D... 
 Would love to pick your brain on a nostr project we are working on if you have time for a call. Thanks for all your great work! 
 We got a bunch of Nostr devs together to talk and it was tons of fun. I hope you enjoy listening ... 
 Great stuff 
 The fate of the world may depend on the efforts of a single person who builds the machinery of freedom that makes the world safe for capitalism. 
 Is there or will there be a way for nostr relays to whitelist/blacklist read access? Relays can r... 
 What is the most efficient way to manage read access permissions on a relay?   @fiatjaf 
 We are working on the next era of computing. I can’t wait to share it with the world! 
 I am so excited about the future of Nostr! 
 I am trying to figure out how a pubkey can assign ‘child keys’ on its behalf. 

Ex: Employees need the ability to engage on behalf of their company.

Is there any work on this? #AskNostr 
 Thank you very much. 
 Thank you. 
 We are working on something cool. Thanks for all your work on nostr. 
 I am trying to identify the best way to hide metadata from direct messages (NIP-04).

Has anyone used these techniques? #askNostr

 Thank you very much.

Would’ve been slaughtered if I posted on stack overflow… 
 Great things are born from those with high energy. Everyone has this trait, you just need to find it. 
 You can be great, your vision is still alive! #nostr 
 When you see people doing great work, doesn’t that make you want to follow? #nostr 
 Tesla is the greatest American success story of the last 20 years. We desperately need Tesla, and they need our help. #nostr 
 There is currently not enough that attracts the average internet user to join & stay. I am on Damus right now and I find my timeline to be much less entertaining than X or IG.

We need more than just bitcoin talk, probably algorithms as well. 
 The network effects and breadth of content needs to be improved. 
 Great work! 
 Why aren’t your friends on #nostr ? 
 How can we entice them to come join us? 
 Is anyone working on algorithms for feeds on here?

It just seems so obvious that this is one of ... 
 Nostr needs more normies. Sports, news, technology, comedy etc

- Get well-paid tech job
- Realize it's all a scam

 Naval says to get rich early so we can truly focus on things that give us meaning 
 I’m working on an application that uses the #nostr protocol. 
 What can nostr offer that no other social network can?

 Awesome fight! DP’s hands are lethal 
 It is kind of messed up that as a human born into this world - a planet you inherit, you are unab... 
 Interesting thought
