 I want to bring back nostr graveyard, but for pruning lists this time. kind 3 can die 
 Investing in Bitcoin is actually the easiest thing in the world if you ignore the emotional pain lol 
 just ignore the price and it's painless 
 Hello Decentralization.

 if they sign up that way, what's the easist transition to desktop/web apps? 
 I will delete you AI bot, If I see React in code one more time.

 What can we in Nostr learn from the recent surge in users for bluesky and mastodon? 
 I didn't think they had ads 
 Who has a fiat job?

 I use Ungoogled Chromium on Windows 
 thanks for the satoshis! 🫡 
 that's kind of like what Vanadium is on GrapheneOS 
 my nostr algorithm disregards any profile that doesn't have a nip-05 
 it's so easy to spin up spam bots to game the algorithm, nip-05 blacklist puts a stop to that 
 I think they should get one 
 it's basically a captcha. any profile that has one from a domain that is not blacklisted is statistically less likely to be spam 
 you can also manually add profiles to lists so that they will influence rankings even if they don't have a nip-05 
 Can someone explain to me why to use this app? What are the benefits of this compared to other so... 
 we can have anarchy here 🤙🏼 
 This is the key. Algos don't have to be evil.

 there is always some algo, the straight chronological timeline feed is a dumb algo that wastes time and pumps up influencer profiles 
 we won't let the nostr CEO curate our feeds 
 Moved from Twitter to Bluesky and It’s way better 
 how about nostr? 
 Trying out the Nostr network!

 do we have an actual leftist in the house? 👀 
 I was gonna say at least 9 🤣
find your tribe and share the vibe 🤙🏼 
 Feed algorithms on Nostr should not only be signed, open source and free to choose, but those run... 
 yes, it has to be done on the client. that's what I'm developing at https://nostr.thecaptain.dev

I client like this can also run as a self hosted server app

 Good morning.

 Nostr and Bitcoin fundamentally clash with the ideology of the modern left. To highlight the impo... 
 too complicated for my 80 IQ pleb brain. just stack sats and grow nostr 🤙🏼 
 GM!
I’m here to zap people and chew bubble gum. 
And I’m all out of gum. 
 GM! ⚡⚡⚡ 
 thanks for the zap 🫡 
 they could just ignore him. I hope they come here 
 what if everyone stays in their own relays?

 We need community notes for Nostr 
 I agree we need to move away from follow based systems, but what can take its place as a metric for trust?

 how about donating directly to devs? 
 So we have a censor option for NSFW content. It even states it is "ideal for any NSFW content".

 I think lists will be better for identifying NSFW accounts, and reports for alerting relays about accounts that violate their rules 
 I kind of think having 2000 followers on Nostr is a bigger flex than having 200,000 on other plat... 
 nostr makes follower counts meaningless! 
 first I stopped paying attention to follows, and now I've found that I don't care about likes either. maybe they're still useful for algorithms? 
 those are the best lmao
