Gonna be honest this mindset is literally the reason there is a "male loneliness crisis". Talk to people! Build connections! Talk about your emotions!


Guys remember Trump digital trading cards


But still not by that much


To be fair using amethyst is a much better experience now


Last time I was on nostr it sure was in a fairly similar place to where it is now, take that as you will


Tired


Feel like the bitcoin-y audience on here would enjoy this https://youtu.be/7uANqJvfZxc


Hey there chat


aint this a web3 thing


as an indian guy who could potentially be drunk one day i love that for you


Hah I don't even come on here that often and even I can clearly see it's not dead


I wish we had a Presidential candidate who wasn’t authoritarian


Point me to the coolest projects going on in the Nostr space! #asknostr #nostr


how free speech of you


We want to start actively promoting #Nostr events on our site. These include game jams, hackathons, art collabs, unconferences, live listens, and webinars.

We're currently looking at using an events calendar on our site, with the goal of integrating it with the greater Social Web. This includes ActivityPub, Bluesky, and Nostr.

If you're an event organizer, and would like to have something included on our calendar, give us a shout!


A spectre is haunting Nostr... the spectre of Bluesky.


But they cheated, those are just Tenor links the client renders!


Hey now! Gifs are hard 😅


Hmmmmm not currently aware, haven’t checked out Urbit much heh


getting reports that i am unzappable after screwing up my alby hub and losing all my bitcoin, which i guess means i can't open a channel to recieve new zaps anyways. can someone test this? does anyone know a fix? maybe even nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm  support knows?


hmm. i tried that, can you check now? not sure what the actual issue might be 😅


We have a small gift for you today: over the past 8 months, we've been building an icon library for various decentralized social platforms and protocols within the space. It's an ongoing effort, and we're happy to release our initial version today. It's like Font Awesome, but for the Social Web!

https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/decentralized-social-icons/


I guess if you want you can send some bitcoin to bc1qqm5gsz593w40sfr0j5gg5ke48jfktaemrnf6my or just zap me

nostr:note123ued5xcx388m8m42uwx0ka2a3tvf7rumpp2ula63je3xew2ppssw8uf6d


Did something really stupid and lost all my Bitcoin Lightning funds 😭
Luckily there wasn't a lot of it, only like 60k sats


almost always beethoven


nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is there a way to use an existing Nostr key as a new *master* key?


LINDA AND ELON LEGIT THINK MOST X USERS ARE RETARDED. MAYBE THEY ARE RIGHT.

THOSE OF US WHO CAN SEE THROUGH THE BULLSHIT WILL CONTINUE BUILDING OUT NOSTR. A TRULY FREE GLOBAL TOWN SQUARE IS NECESSARY.

Alright Nostr, orange pill me. I already want to get into Bitcoin, just give me your best orange pilling to solidify it


Well, learned something new on Nostr today - that  nostr:npub18s4zkd0wjq5gkthz4paw2704ty4s354wcp2krvxy0sewz3g9z2cs73ydrt exists!
Very cool!


Who is this about lol


Yoooo you were the one who gave me my first lightning tip!


every time I come back here it’s so fun to see what’s been cooking up


Back on Damus

#introductions


oh! im curious to learn more


i'd say it is. just in a way closer to nostr's model than federation


someone explain nutzaps/nutsacks/whatever to me please


ez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT2z0nrsQ8o


personally i dont really think agi is possible but i also believe that's all the more reason to try


that would be ideal. if only that was as simple as it sounds.


second one, but really federation is a misunderstanding of the atproto architecture as i see it


thanks!


the "unlike in bsky" part is both unnecessary and not really correct, either. and what's normal does matter to my experience on here. i will definitely enjoy the experience of nostr more if i find people to be generally aligned with my values here!


I'm quite leftist. Is that normal here?


Can someone link me to a good explanation of  nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch's labels/community moderation system? Want to write about it alongside Bluesky's system


me, right here


new nip05


Devs of nostr, how does primal sync its notifications-read state across devices?


Nostr is so cool. Decentralization is so cool


I'm doing my part!


Open protocols ftw


Sure hope so!


Careful! Apple might take you off the app store for saying this


My takes are probably not the kind that will be very popular on nostr. I do like the protocol and ecosystem though!


I think Harris is a capable candidate


Please don't do this, I thought we were above tribalism. We all want the same thing here! A decentralized future for all social media, and the entire internet. We can work towards this together.


But it already does! No take backs now


Imagining a future where you use the same private key for both nostr and atproto decentralized ecosystems (I already do!)


Really enjoy this article! Will update my article with a link to this as a nostr explainer (my article being one I wrote comparing atproto and nostr)


There's an NIP for requesting relays to delete your content from their database, you mean. The nature of nostr really does make deletes largely meaningless


yoooo

That article is so full of lies and shitty psychoanalysis it's genuinely impressive


true deletes will never be possible because the concept doesn't really make sense here

The dude has quotes from Hitler in his bio, I think it's safe to ignore him


There's bluesky the company and at the protocol. Bluesky the company has a ceo. The at protocol is developed by said company with the explicit goal of decentralization.


It's not a protocol requirement. Just was an anti spam measure on Bluesky pbllc hosted pdses. Replaced by captcha


how about both


you seem to have a lot of time to spare


should i write one?


I didn't realize Damus would chop it off!


somebody wasn't happy!


Nostr and ATProto https://shreyanjain.net/2024/07/05/nostr-and-atproto.html

TIDAL Embeds - full-length playback using Nostr authentication and open sourced!

1/ Add your npub to your TIDAL account

2/ Add a NIP-07 extension to your browser, for example nos2x

3/ Load the TIDAL embed player, login, sign and enjoy

Not seeing a TIDAL Embed? Help us, or your Nostr client, to fix it!


The widely-known music platform is embracing Nostr, but it's a small demo that's only a taste of what's to come.

Watch this space:


Quite decent, but extension support is janky and it crashes easily


On don't recognize you yet! What's your bsky handle?

Client-wise, I'm enjoying Damus


I think they're exactly analogous


Currently writing this exact thing


Nostr really only works well with good internet huh. Same with Bluesky but less so


Definitely agree with nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 and support tools people can CHOOSE to use if THEY want to or feel like it to make this a better experience. Idk why people assume freedom of speech does not also imply freedom of listening. Just because someone is “free” to say whatever they want, does not mean everyone should be forced to hear it. There are bad apples in every bunch and I can confirm that there are some bad apples here whose aim is to hurt, intimidate, or even scare as much as possible with language.

When I’ve talked to certain people about this, I gotten a few, “just mute them and toughen up” and “you’re too soft”. I’m not talking about friendly trolling though… I’m talking about legitimate hate coming from miserable people who only get fulfillment by shocking or insulting.

If I wanna continue to be “soft” and limit my exposure to legitimately negative and combative users/language, I should be able to if I am truly sovereign here.


Gonna try to spend some time on here every day now


nos is a very interesting client, it just doesn’t feel smooth enough yet


What clients does nostr:npub12m2t8433p7kmw22t0uzp426xn30lezv3kxcmxvvcrwt2y3hk4ejsvre68j work in? nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240


Shut up and come back when you have some empathy


nostr:npub180x9vv4yuagf2w3qzmuertvv46ccee6n0wp0yh3zcz7nhyqrmzuqzjmehq, All i know about you is that you’re in to bitcoin and you haven’t personally seen harassment on Nostr. I don’t know if you’re straight or like meat. ;-D There are after all queer vegan bitcoiners. From your avatar and username, I can guess your politics probably lean libertarian.  I didn’t intent to insult you in my post pointing out some people who have been harassed, just that different people can experience the same space very differently.

I think we need to work on make spaces that people can govern themselves becuase without self management of our shared public spheres then we’ll face arguments for corporations or the state to do it for us. Not everybody has the same issues or needs the same tools.


Nostr isn’t free for some of us until it’s free for all of us. And to do that we need to build a space where people and communities of users can set and enforce community norms for themselves. If we don’t build these tools then we’ll not be able to make Nostr for everybody.  Nobody’s saying you need to use moderation labels or relays that take down reported content.  Just that for people who want them, they can use them. We need good tools for self management. Authoritarians take and hold power because they claim that they’re the only one to keep people safe. If we don’t build in tools on Nostr to help us keep ourselves safe, then people will think their only option is to use a system with opaque unaccountable centralized control over the platfrom.

That’s why I do the work on nostr:npub12m2t8433p7kmw22t0uzp426xn30lezv3kxcmxvvcrwt2y3hk4ejsvre68j and other projects to provide tools for trust, safety, and moderation on a permissionless open protocol.

And if you don’t believe harassment happens, please listen to people like nostr:npub19vvkfwy9mcluhvehw7r56p4stsj5lmx4v9g3vgkwsm3arpgef8aqsrt562  who helped organize the first Nostr conference in her experience: nostr:note10c90rf00lttrxdvn2q6creqn0u274r9g2qz967wqgvm2myxlgz6sjmdrsv

Or look at what was said to me today: nostr:note14vmyqnz4mgj06fghjjy0ppv53dfexpzzz37ua4z3mmaf33nnf98q742jd4

Either we figure out a way to goven ourselves without centralized control or we’ll end up with that centralized control we’ve been fighting against.


Trying to restrict llms is a losing battle


CAPTCHAS ONLY STOP HUMANS

Randomly remembering just how cool nostr is and installing Damus for iPad


Hacking away in oslo on an iOS-style navigation control for egui, the ui library we use in damus notedeck/android. Slowly building a multiplatform, mobile-friendly ui toolkit not dependant on any particular operating system.

Since this is not web tech, we have all of the power of a bare metal app. It’s so flexible you could even embed damus into a game engine and render it within a game, all we need is a graphics context to render to.

Maybe one day this stack can be used to build a completely sovereign mobile OS with native nostr and bitcoin integration. Might be a crazy idea, but you never know!

Future proofing and building sovereignty into every layer of the stack 🤝

I don't trust


hey


I'm not ;)


nice! this is very good


I HATE CAPITALISM


Literally anything tbh


Do y'all talk about anything other than bitcoin here yet?


Nostur is a good app


Nice, I should fix that


Hi!


Hmmmm, I think the level of control bluesky has is exaggerated somewhat


Does my NIP-05 even work???


soon™


Bridgy Fed is going to be adding built-in Nostr support as well!


Yes! I'm more excited for the first-class bridge than the indirect one we have right now though.


bit of an indirect bridge atm, but a real one’s coming up 👀


If bluesky and nostr are bridged, would you opt in to it?


So can anyone explain the disparity of the number in the stats between apps on Nostr? Damus is showing 5 zaps and Primal is showing 20 zaps for example.

(I’ve also gotten very used to writing in alt text for images and don’t see a way to do it at least with Damus.) https://image.nostr.build/eeaf5ae6fda5140bdc59e159368ee056e667d08950f53828bb3797cd6b28e099.jpg https://image.nostr.build/ef684907fd814d48ab5603ae38b689e65dc605e1e733646d009c81756d93db25.jpg


Will do


Nobody talks to me here :( can my followers hype me up


yes


Knowing how nostr works always makes it seem all the more incredible that it even does


Nice! Exciting


As long as open protocols are winning I'm happy


Say more

What are your feelings about that?

IMO people are focusing on the wrong things when it comes to advertising decentralized social


Whining about "tech illiteracy" is stupid most of the time. Yes there are some people who deliberately don't learn but 99% of the time it's the tech's fault. Most tech intentionally tries to keep you in the dark about how it works and people have been conditioned into this "tech illiteracy"


Hello Nostritches!!!


Jack, meet jack


Whales are people too


Way to miss the point


Agreed, I'm writing a very long article about the similarities and differences right now, will publish soon


What if I don't live in the EU


This is exactly why protocols like Nostr are important - nobody can stop the zaps from flowing.


Fine, fine, I'll write one


Today I woke up and chose rich


What the hell


still shocked nostr works


soon™


Hello fiatjaf


Still genuinely crazy that nostr actually works. So cool


yes


just shilled bitcoin to someone


I had one or two


Honestly, I think protocols like nostr and bluesky should be working together right now, the two are very similarly designed and getting more similar by the day. No reason for us to be fighting right now


IMO, that protocol is bluesky

What is up on here guys


bro nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m i'm seriously wondering why you left bluesky


nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m are we to assume you have resigned from the BlueSky board? what's your position on what's going on over there


lol hi guys


- Open protocols don't die easily
- nostr can't go bankrupt
- All accounts already exist
- Social media is only the 1st use case
- It's an identity and reputation layer
- Many "stupid" things will run over nostr
- (Calendar sync, TODO apps, etc.)
- Private relays will be big
- Pay-to-write is not a paywall
- Paywalls (pay-to-read) = stupid
- NIP-07 kills usernames and passwords
- It will improve massively over time
- Time and attention are horrible graph currencies
- Sats fix this & enhance the social graph signal
- Special clients will replace whole networks
- Pivot to nostr or perish


As an NIP?


Maybe there should be a NIP to use IPFS as storage for images, videos, etc... on nostr?


People will also often reward you with sats


It's a CORS issue


Hehe


#[0] another BlueSky question... are there still plans for Twitter to become a BlueSky client eventually?
