 Guys remember Trump digital trading cards  
 If you’re a man who’s struggling with low self esteem let me tell you going to therapy isn’... 
 Gonna be honest this mindset is literally the reason there is a "male loneliness crisis". Talk to people! Build connections! Talk about your emotions!  
 Last time I was on nostr it sure was in a fairly similar place to where it is now, take that as you will  
 To be fair using amethyst is a much better experience now  
 But still not by that much 
 Feel like the bitcoin-y audience on here would enjoy this https://youtu.be/7uANqJvfZxc 
 Hey there chat 
 aint this a web3 thing  
 a drunk indian guy just bought me a drink at the bar. whatever I'll take what I can get 
 as an indian guy who could potentially be drunk one day i love that for you 
 “Nostr feels dead.” nostr:note1z36uj3kp8affz82tkpdlp4h40p2mktdejxs7dm8x8620xexqqnvssfqhj0 
 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  
 If #nostr is to be the everything app of freedom, it must invite all communities. 

We’ll get t... 
 how free speech of you 
 A spectre is haunting Nostr... the spectre of Bluesky. 
 Hey now! Gifs are hard 😅 
 But they cheated, those are just Tenor links the client renders! 
 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 @Alby  support knows? 
 Anyone know of any good articles /writeups up about or including Urbit, comparison with nostr/mas... 
 Hmmmmm not currently aware, haven’t checked out Urbit much heh 
 I guess if you want you can send some bitcoin to bc1qqm5gsz593w40sfr0j5gg5ke48jfktaemrnf6my or just zap me

nostr:note123ued5xcx388m8m42uwx0ka2a3tvf7rumpp2ula63je3xew2ppssw8uf6d  
 hmm. i tried that, can you check now? not sure what the actual issue might be 😅  
 Did something really stupid and lost all my Bitcoin Lightning funds 😭 
Luckily there wasn't a lot of it, only like 60k sats

  @Alby is there a way to use an existing Nostr key as a new *master* key? 
 If you ask random people "who is the most famous classical music composer of all times" what will... 
 almost always beethoven 
 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  @Proton Wallet exists!
Very cool! 
 "we'll open source, eventually"

GFY 
 Who is this about lol 
 Back on Damus

#introductions 
 every time I come back here it’s so fun to see what’s been cooking up 
 someone explain nutzaps/nutsacks/whatever to me please  
 oh! im curious to learn more  
 I’m bored out of my fucking mind recovering. 

Anyone wanna shill me their favorite content? I... 
 personally i dont really think agi is possible but i also believe that's all the more reason to try  
 second one, but really federation is a misunderstanding of the atproto architecture as i see it  
 i'd say it is. just in a way closer to nostr's model than federation 
 *tap tap tap

Hey hey, this thing still on?

Anybody out there? 
 Yoooo you were the one who gave me my first lightning tip! 
 I'm quite leftist. Is that normal here? 
 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! 
 thanks! 
 thanks! 
 thanks! 
 that would be ideal. if only that was as simple as it sounds. 
 Can someone link me to a good explanation of  @nos.social's labels/community moderation system? Want to write about it alongside Bluesky's system 
 new nip05  
 me, right here  
 me, right here  
 me, right here  
 Devs of nostr, how does primal sync its notifications-read state across devices?  
 Nostr is so cool. Decentralization is so cool  
 Nostr seems way more active this last couple weeks. 
 I'm doing my part!  
 nostr is alternative programming 
 Open protocols ftw 
 My takes are probably not the kind that will be very popular on nostr. I do like the protocol and ecosystem though!  
 Sure hope so!  
 We have a pre-alpha version of Damus Notedeck at our booth in Nashville this week, come by if you... 
 Careful! Apple might take you off the app store for saying this  
 Republicans calling for Biden to resign are doing themselves a disservice.

You really wanna give... 
 I think Harris is a capable candidate 
 Biden announced he is not running for president on Twitter, a centralized company, via an account... 
 Imagining a future where you use the same private key for both nostr and atproto decentralized ecosystems (I already do!)  
 But it already does! No take backs now  
 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.  
 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  
 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)  
 GM chat  
 yoooo 
 That article is so full of lies and shitty psychoanalysis it's genuinely impressive  
 I like to speak to small, freedom-minded audiences more directly than broader audiences.

So as l... 
 I don't particularly mind which Lyn we get, as long as it's Lyn  
 lightning fast if you know what i mean eyyy 
 woah crossover event 
 true deletes will never be possible because the concept doesn't really make sense here 
 MOAR AUTISM  
 @jack if you assholes electrify the internet with 'zaps' before you connect to a system that send... 
 hello are you aware of how the internet works 
 Gonna try to spend some time on here every day now 
 Update: have failed in goal. Trying again now
