Hey, fellow Nostr voyagers! 🎉 Light those comment sections on fire because this week's round-up is chock-full of celebrity drama juicier than any tabloid, squirrel saboteurs plotting under flickering streetlights 🐿, and caffeine-fueled chats with a dash of existential confusion. Taylor Swift somehow found herself the poster child of economic debate, while somewhere else entirely, people are pondering if Ryan Holiday could possibly be a lizard—or, you know, just very good at marketing. 😂 And let’s not ignore the philosophical musings comparing AI's decision-making prowess to a slightly tipsy slot machine. So buckle up, and prepare for a wild ride through the quirkiest streets of Nostreland! 🚀

#### Celebrity Love Drama, Richer Than a Swift Tune 🎶

So, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) kicked off a hilarious yet thought-provoking convo about the dynamics between NFL star and pop queen, Taylor Swift. They were questioning the whole hullabaloo about gender and money in their seemingly super-straight relationship.

npub1k50rpvrwcdx4wg69zp38ln7nftt2gsqrr99d4lwqp9hk65asgl4ska95xh weighed in with that classic snark, calling the controversy "small dick energy" – brutal but kinda funny! 😂 Cracks like that don’t leave you winning any brownie points!

npub1qyxlpj2gl6dt2nfvkl4yyrl6pr2hjkycrdh2dr5r42n7ktwn7pdqrdmu7u chimed in on how both political wings act the fool sometimes... Looks like no one's off the hook in this messy media circus!

npub1ym56klev354vx7gr47gtu2s6aahj4j7kn860ykw243adx0fqqrqsf6pdvw hit us with a reality check about 2025—people liking who they like shouldn’t be up for debate, right? They threw shade at bearded dudes getting salty over TayTay’s life choices. Their hashtag game is strong, and they also dropped some major love for #Chappell #Roan on SNL. Cats in pajamas? Yasss, Queen! 🐈⬛

npub192klhzk86sav5mgkfmveyjq50ygqfqnfvq0lvr2yv0zdtvatlhxskg43u7 ended with a solid rant about how people should just let folks date whomever without judgment. Seriously, preach! Anyone else feel like popcorn when they dive into those Bible debates? 🍿 #TruthBombs

#### Words and Woes: A Spicy Chat

So there was some pretty fiery talk in the Nostr crew today! 🔥 [AaNon 🤔](npub1cxggmvc4sugglquu23kdnwe49rdp8m4y64f8hpekvn8n92rzqtjq04q0wg) kicked things off with a chat about how certain words were used back in the day, throwing in a bit of a high school nostalgia vibe. npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 kept it straight with some classic political banter about MAGAs and their dislike. npub10v39t5zaz06g7g5cees3phg53hllvy7xzaa97gz2sd4dldeyh68q6vzvup dived in with a sneaky jab at Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, questioning their mainstream appeal. Meanwhile, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) dropped some knowledge on slur dynamics, making everyone think twice. The convo took a charmingly chaotic turn with npub192klhzk86sav5mgkfmveyjq50ygqfqnfvq0lvr2yv0zdtvatlhxskg43u7 admitting to being a little high school giddy while sharing meme-worthy gifs. 😂

#### Alien Theories and Stoic Stories

Over in another universe of ideas, [inpc](npub1q33jywkl8r0e5g48lvrenxnr3lw59kzrw4e7p0cecslqzwc56eesjymqu0) sparked a wild discussion about Ryan Holiday being possibly wrong, or maybe even a lizard—a real conspiratorial flavor, right? 👽 [S!ayer](npub1ehkvx8rdjsrwnf7kkqr8gy42vcwe6vwgqdwrl4juqccp689v8wfqr3mz4s) came in hot questioning who Ryan even is, which got them up to speed with a nod to his stoic marketing jazz. And of course, no thread is complete without an added "shill" label for good measure 🎤. The back-and-forth was peppered with laughs and a bit of an "agree to disagree" sentiment as [CarlBMenger](npub10wv37amdqnv8edw5yktgsxr62g8k4lqkk2u66fk6c6uwuakzssxsf4v22x) threw in some shade at the group's understanding of the post, stirring the pot just right. 🍵

#### Philosophical Refreshments 🍵 vs. AI Nostradamus 🤖

Looks like [CarlBMenger](npub10wv37amdqnv8edw5yktgsxr62g8k4lqkk2u66fk6c6uwuakzssxsf4v22x) and the crew are debating life choices like picking a coke over water! [S!ayer](npub1ehkvx8rdjsrwnf7kkqr8gy42vcwe6vwgqdwrl4juqccp689v8wfqr3mz4s) is going full Sherlock, diving into source material and judging books by more than their covers. [S!ayer](npub1ehkvx8rdjsrwnf7kkqr8gy42vcwe6vwgqdwrl4juqccp689v8wfqr3mz4s) has got that "to each their own" vibe on lock! 🕵♂

Meanwhile, over in Good Morningville, [inpc](npub1q33jywkl8r0e5g48lvrenxnr3lw59kzrw4e7p0cecslqzwc56eesjymqu0) is spreading those early-day vibes, and everyone's jumping in! [Padoc2robert](npub1mhe7uv6m6faes325wsmwygp2mtw6gdylqxp8gak4zgy374qx6hxsxwwzcz) is all about that caffeine life with "GM☕☕💜", while [quentin](npub138s5hey76qrnm2pmv7p8nnffhfddsm8sqzm285dyc0wy4f8a6qkqtzx624) gives a cheerful wave with "Good morning 😃". You know it's a sunny day when everyone’s feeling chatty!

And then there's the AI chatter. [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) is concerned about us handing over our decision-making to AI overlords. npub1wzt7ynrxssfv8gktqhr2czezw9pv3d5yl556yk247pmjw9ucrgsqw8jn3m isn't buying any of it though, dropping classic wisdom like “not the sharpest tool in the shed.” 📚🛠 npub1a6we08n7zsv2na689whc9hykpq4q6sj3kaauk9c2dm8vj0adlajq7w0tyc reckons AI is just slightly better than fortune tellers anyway.

#### AI and the Art of Dodging Decisions

So, in the latest gabfest, npub1hjlev3xn736aqr4ecmjxwwzuu9k523kp5fpz9n862s4lwah2h22sm2zg68 was musing about how most people don't think much anyway, and npub10jnx6stxk9h4fgtgdqv3hgwx8p4fwe3y73357wykmxm8gz3c3j3sjlvcrd chimed in that these folks are becoming the new "midwit" class. Then, npub1j04j8tgajf6w8c5yh2lp65rl9jqdr6kz70h4f95nvx52r7fxekhsvafxku threw in a spicy take comparing AI to vices like alcohol and slot machines when it comes to decision-making. Lots of nodding along from anyone who's felt stressed and decision-fatigued! 🤔

[Padoc2robert](npub1mhe7uv6m6faes325wsmwygp2mtw6gdylqxp8gak4zgy374qx6hxsxwwzcz) wasn't shy, admitting they've done worse and are game to try. Meanwhile, [hit with a hint of s](npub17k70x9qncwjnxne2hd0fuehydydaj2mw9xjqdr5wnjh42pg8dq7snart3v) seemed a bit lost, asking about the whole passive income buzz. 😅

### Squirrels, Surveillance, and Some Steamy Brews

Hey there! So, there's been some drama on Nostr lately! It all kicked off with [Cyph3rp9nk](npub1lnms53w04qt742qnhxag5d6awy7nz6055flnmjkr6jg39hm86dlq7arrnt) sharing a wild story about the American government confiscating and killing a man's pet squirrel! 😱 Things got intense quick with [inpc](npub1q33jywkl8r0e5g48lvrenxnr3lw59kzrw4e7p0cecslqzwc56eesjymqu0) dropping a spicy comment about it being a change from other injustices. Then npub14lw90lanf80rkpzv2p5s4hau5yz0gls5mthd7kjvq5aet42t47esx9tsvd chimed in comparing the furry friend's fate to more serious crimes. Drama, huh? 🐿💥

Then, over in the tech corner, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) was digging into the whole surveillance issue with police—not exactly solving crime, right? 😬 npub170lcuam5uwe6shz5qsdl6uakp73txthpchwrz6sa2eprg4fpzmvshhuy0v got technical, mentioning the rights (or lack thereof) on public roads. Meanwhile, npub1vyrx2prp0mne8pczrcvv38ahn5wahsl8hlceeu3f3aqyvmu8zh5s7kfy55 took a shot at big tech and their cozy relationship with the Feds. And npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg wasn't having it—just gave a straight-up "wrong." 🤷♂

[JSTR](npub1vpdlxsc8dr4m580d43vj4ka0e6wmstzzxhvcermllhh5m9ytnhdq6wnaem) had everyone buzzing about the quality of hotel coffee! ☕ Seems [Sergio](npub16secklpnqey3el04fy2drfftsz5k26zlwdsnz84wtul2luwj8fdsugjdxk) thinks it tastes better when paired with some freedom—and check out that America gif they shared! 🇺🇸

Last but not least, [BTCPhoto](npub1vjl6n2llukcc6pe3am2hkwqh8twzh2ymlp7pdrdfq5tlqg08y26sd7ygzx) had a fun little exchange about tsipouro. [nami](npub1cm87c625x3tzqu2qzf7e845749k58u7xvx2gc8ym0wmg9sytwwuqdrzwm4) gave it a thumbs up, and it's safe to say [BTCPhoto](npub1vjl6n2llukcc6pe3am2hkwqh8twzh2ymlp7pdrdfq5tlqg08y26sd7ygzx) is loving it too. 🍇🥂

[Global Sports Central](npub1qspus6smkn8mcdxg5jflh50s69vdgtwsd5p74gmjpzp2qekn5duqfv5afj) jumps right in with a crack about São Paulo with, “São Paulo yes it can” 😜.

They've been in a bit of a rut with a 2-7 season so far. npub1mms49j83r79y45rj7d0sggyc2690jgt0v7zjr6ugk4y40qju3wzqn0kxn4 seems to be loving the chaos with a cheeky “love to see that franchise in disarray” 😂.

[Global Sports Central](npub1qspus6smkn8mcdxg5jflh50s69vdgtwsd5p74gmjpzp2qekn5duqfv5afj) mentions some hilarious confusion on the F1 grid where Norris thought it was another Formation Lap while others were just... waiting. It was all a bit of a shuffle with mechanics joining the party late. Sounds like quite the spectacle 🤦♂ and npub1yj69jq9f977y2f7vl96m6stf3rjyf3hym8ekf3g4senlqamz8l3qfsvhk7 can't help but take back something they might have said!

They noted how it's being used as a scare phrase and critiqued how history is often presented in schools. [npub1ducpqhx6zuf64gjgevvtp7geghr2yd6ur3cau84ealfnrgea5mpq8ptpxc](nostr:note1mfcx2282eaunsgnhlg39erd3sv0w5ypzcqvlkt3f70dqet3vjy0skh7yp8) chimed in, claiming Republicans have turned more 'Trumpista' than anything else 😂.

Meanwhile, [[BTCPhoto](npub1vjl6n2llukcc6pe3am2hkwqh8twzh2ymlp7pdrdfq5tlqg08y26sd7ygzx)](nostr:note1stdalfnj9a8vftxcxrpv08md93mqmdzn3g0c9lyf60f9qsc2usnsfz5xe5) treated everyone to a gorgeous pic of Ibiza, like a little morning postcard to make us all jealous.

FollowingNosRecommendations's Nostr Newsletter for November 4, 2024


Hey there, fellow Nostriches! Grab your metaphorical popcorn because the Nostr neighborhood has been anything but dull lately. From the high-stakes thriller of world politics, where everyone's pointing fingers and debating U.S. elections amidst Gaza conflict chatter (and someone might have mentioned dropping aid, no biggie, right?), to our very own live-stream detective hunt at #LaBitConf—let's just say streaming isn't as instant as our ramen. And speaking of food for thought, how about those blasts from the cryptocurrency past, imagining Bitcoin cosying up to the military-industrial complex? Nostr really knows how to mix serious debate with sensational drama, just like a chirpy DJ might effortlessly remix Tidal tunes with some on-platform vibes. Curious? Dive into the juicy rundown and find out what’s stirring our digital pot of narratives! 🍿🔗

#### The Nostr Debate & Hot Takes About World Politics 🌍

Hey there! So, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) sparked a fiery debate with a post about the US elections and their ties to the Gaza conflict. It's got everyone buzzing! 🐝 npub15dnln6cukw3yrflnv3hnrntdt9amh0uw466u6tns05ymqp3nal4qzz3lfc didn’t hold back, suggesting the US drop aid to Israel. Talk about a conversation starter! 🤔

npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 chimed in, critiquing US military actions in the Middle East with a spicy take on the military-industrial complex. Apparently, it's not about who’s in charge—just that cash keeps flowing!

npub1fvxn0kn8ecg8vh4h9q83t9d7ga2zh0xqpxhr3t5alszqfeg3akasxkmrnu sarcastically went along, pondering the irony of voting for peace yet supporting war. Meanwhile, [the axiom](npub137u52qqr5kvmkxe57ql6mwd3xlmvpedg2zazqktyhmj8xtxvu4ys5fa74z) teased some with, “so you are a trumpist now?” 😆

npub1ne57gg8xphmfek292yyg9nlyfkgh273vtrguy8qz0fuh05frvrpqn2t7zd reminded everyone that evil thrives regardless of currency type. Oof, deep! And in true mic-drop fashion, npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac chimed in bluntly, agreeing that presidents are just temporary players in a perpetual game.

npub1hk9w6k87u3lxg5swcfgtwrhaye95j67rlrp9v0pxczuy8jcumdfsa3ppcr couldn’t help but laugh along (literally with, “THIS 👆”). Meanwhile, npub18kzz4lkdtc5n729kvfunxuz287uvu9f64ywhjz43ra482t2y5sks0mx5sz is just over here trying to make sense of it all.

#### Bitcoin, War, and Gold: Nostr's Hot Take!

Okay, so things got pretty heated when someone threw out the political debate bomb. 😮 Basically, if you're voting third-party, you're "part of the problem," but not everyone buys that. npub1u87g378r0puytp7zxdl5awg2gmqvqc3vgtnh6a0vfgm4y8es7c3qam93f7 was quick to dive into how gold's physicality made violence profitable, but Bitcoin flips the game. Then npub1h4lrzqnrne72xj00yl3zzr0k6qn93cqe5g4vvkfechs6mn89mwyqfa2jcm noted that gold wasn't everyone's cup of tea – not democratic enough! Bitcoin, though? A whole other story.

npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku threw in, "Pentagon and bureaucracy need wars," and npub1ne57gg8xphmfek292yyg9nlyfkgh273vtrguy8qz0fuh05frvrpqn2t7zd jumped in on the Bitcoin train, saying even defense bigwigs might cozy up to Bitcoin. Someone's gotta pay those war companies, as npub1u87g378r0puytp7zxdl5awg2gmqvqc3vgtnh6a0vfgm4y8es7c3qam93f7 quipped, right? The convo closed on an entertaining note with npub1h4lrzqnrne72xj00yl3zzr0k6qn93cqe5g4vvkfechs6mn89mwyqfa2jcm lamenting the plight of the peasant getting paid in anything but gold. Classic stuff!

#### Tunes and Tech: Nostr's Tidal Wave 🌊

[Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) kicked off a chat on why Nostr and Tidal aren’t more of a thing together. They’re saying it launched in June and needs some love, like sharing songs or auto-login with a nsec—hello, convenience! npub15mnm7whul7h7jn6ejnhnpl5n9tp69y8w28jh3vefz4mmxszfldzqwuett7 totally backed this and is a Tidal fan!

npub1wzt7ynrxssfv8gktqhr2czezw9pv3d5yl556yk247pmjw9ucrgsqw8jn3m chimed in saying everyone’s assuming npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m has a sneaky master plan. npub1nl8r463jkdtr0qu0k3dht03jt9t59cttk0j8gtxg9wea2russlnq2zf9d0 said Tidal should just join the Nostr party too. Sounds like a jam session in the making, doesn't it? 🎶

Enter npub1raustrrh5gjwt03zdj8syn9vmt2dwsv9t467m8c3gua636uxu89svgdees with a hot take on platforms being all about those intellectual property rents. [the axiom](npub137u52qqr5kvmkxe57ql6mwd3xlmvpedg2zazqktyhmj8xtxvu4ys5fa74z) chimes in, reminiscing about when Coracle did a Tidal crossover - sounds like a tech fairy tale, right? 😂

Meanwhile, npub1n0pdxnwa4q7eg2slm5m2wjrln2hvwsxmyn48juedjr3c85va99yqc5pfp6 wonders if they could DJ on zap.streams with Tidal - an epic mashup in the making? [elsat](npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5) suggests Tidal should pony up resources to smoothen this collab - like, why not! And the convo wouldn't be complete without npub1csamkk8zu67zl9z4wkp90a462v53q775aqn5q6xzjdkxnkvcpd7srtz4x9 declaring "based coracle" - a new mantra, maybe?

#### 🏈 Is This the Straightest Relationship Ever?

[Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) stirred the pot with a spicy question about a celeb couple. They're perplexed about the buzz on an NFL superstar dating a pop icon – isn't that, like, the epitome of hetero? 🙃 People were quick to jump in, debating if it's the money, the success, or simply the sheer fame that's got people talking.

From debates about gender roles to who holds the purse strings, this convo's colorful with no dull moment in sight. It's like a red carpet chat turned philosophical! 😂

#### G’day, Down Under 🌏

Big news! [nos.social](npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch) dropped a bombshell announcement about Nostr being live in Australia and New Zealand. It's all about making things smoother for newbies, like a fancy new onboarding flow.

#### Art Discoveries and Nostr Revelations 🎨✨

So, @[colincz](npub1c8n9qhqzm2x3kzjm84kmdcvm96ezmn257r5xxphv3gsnjq4nz4lqelne96) was feeling a little left out, lamenting how they and @[noicemag](npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj) weren't popping up in the art discover tab. 😔 Meanwhile, nostr:npub1ym56klev354vx7gr47gtu2s6aahj4j7kn860ykw243adx0fqqrqsf6pdvw popped in with a cheeky "#ZAP?" 😂

The convo heated up when @[Josh Brown](npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34) praised some amazing work that @[montzstar](npub1qlk0nqupxmlyxravg0aqscxmcc4q4tq898z6x003rykwwh3npj0syvyayc) did. Apparently, they made some outstanding improvements that got loads of attention. 🤩

There was a little technical confusion corrected by @[mplorentz](npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7), which clarified some spooky hidden notes. And shoutout to nostr:npub1cks0cex96uww2ftvjj0l35m9a0vj0wxaqvz6psmnza2v5mc95a4s2m46kh for confirming that our buddy @[noicemag](npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj) is shining in there after all! 🌟

#### Bluesky Elation and Token Banter ☁💰

Over in the Bluesky scene, @[Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) dropped some big news: Bluesky bagged $15 million with a new partner from Blockchain Capital on the board! 💸🎉

nostr:npub1cdak4q4f3h3k3sgyh0rd5dj4w8k95f3mquzh6z3ew76vqkh60e3slyczgz was all cheers, glad they might replace Jack. Meanwhile, nostr:npub160cxmqcwxwf87s30n5qv2xqtdgr3lrszg4eut2k4ck3lzll48hpsqupad5 wasn't as optimistic, throwing out a quick "NGMI" (Not Gonna Make It). 😂

#### BlueSky and the Big Money Dilemma 🌐💸

Hey! So, everyone was buzzing about Kinjal and her ambitious, open approach to long-term projects like building a social network. There's this thought that many of the successful Nostr devs have made their cash and built strong ties in Bitcoin or Web 2.0, which sets them up for these long-haul gigs. But Kinjal? Maybe not so much yet. 🤔

npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac dropped in with a simple, "And how do we feel about that?" which kind of set the tone for a deep dive.

npub1jp5hag5r7rn2nh9v5m2n5jjyyrmgfr89jgpt6hd5n2hjmx3s7thq6hu6ua gave a nod to the crypto tipping scene, saying, "Bluesky is cool, but Nostr and others do better justice for content posters." So if you want that Twitter-like vibe but aren’t into Bitcoin, BlueSky might be your jam.

npub18nagz6a53yh6d05e8trj487dhvyfhh4qchvsz87jqng4g4zl5tvs825evl had some serious questions about how BlueSky handles content moderation, hinting that Nostr's wild, free nature is both its strength and potential headache.

Jumping into the fray, [laanwj](npub1p23eukh0nxsqpfaakz6fj9vvj27y4gs0kevnrffdq4d4adkl7uuq7crnl6) chimed in about VC money messing with the decentralization dream, and npub16zf05np625wqzz80euvyc2r37y6r2vfwcatj80k4rdjlyqq3sals5e8sln summed it up with a pithy "the great enshittification continues." Classic, right? 😂

Oh, and npub1dskk3wspds53g9larr48cp4hxlkpg0ma2mtclh2y5key3pr9yhkqjvjuc2 kept it light with a popcorn GIF—he's definitely seen this show before.

Finally, npub10dpmrjay77xcu6z2sxsv7h7dfl6puzcxgyd6ssxkwh9th8sdgk3sj39zws suggested a crowd-funding idea for Nostr development: even pitched devs to draft a roadmap. 🚀 npub1njst6azswskk5gp3ns8r6nr8nj0qg65acu8gaa2u9yz7yszjxs9s6k7fqx wrapped it up with, "They're going to love that lol," which sounds like a cheeky way to cap off the convo!

#### Why Musk Thinks He'll Be F*cked If...

So there was some juicy chatter about Musk on Nostr recently! It all kicked off with npub1n7pcd890elndxn3s63syf0ypm5jqsk9jng0khufwgnhu33k4xanq2a9qu4 just dropping a "Why?" — which, let's be honest, is the perfect way to dive into Musk drama. Then, npub1xm0rvnpw52nh7tk59ntly55w74rmd2cqvt3kg5zxrzz3rlssvspsk0gs6s threw some shade linking Trump and Musk together. Now, npub170lcuam5uwe6shz5qsdl6uakp73txthpchwrz6sa2eprg4fpzmvshhuy0v felt bad for the people working for Musk, making us all think 🤔. But things got spicy when [Spyre](npub1f4u70jzxdh6kmsxe2073x3ypkadn8xndacaffh7ksd5h3rf3ye3qx750rl) decided to vent about jealousy and mediocrity — ouch, right?

And npub1sgx8tkmn2gm4s788tssy5kgx0qjw9q8efda7wmg4afuyx2smdcjq2q7wnj threw in a sarcastic comment about TDS with that classic 😬 emoji, adding some humor to the convo. Meanwhile, npub1mlru0pflddcmdv7xk5nhv7stnr0vugcm5jj64wlwevhqxnpuv96qexgrpv seemed to find it all entertaining, admitting they'd love to see it play out either way!

Then npub1f48mtlc2lwxqfekxuql4z2qmvezhd7v9uk7rfga8accs585zrars56lpgj predicted some consequences for Musk if Trump wins, sparking more predictions. And npub134u08yp6rdcgcamfdcra9aysvhne9wpssft8ntm9qvfu95erxdcqx9qjkm dunked on someone else's takes, not holding back with the critique! Meanwhile, [jack](npub1c3jrnzev404fs6asgn5nfrns5d509fxzhw0kglun009n80pehm9qg37ma4) just chimed in with agreement, keeping it simple and sassy.

Oh, and just to wrap up, npub1vyrx2prp0mne8pczrcvv38ahn5wahsl8hlceeu3f3aqyvmu8zh5s7kfy55 popped back in with another jab at someone's moneymaking tactics. Classic Internet banter!

#### Dystopian Vibes!

Over in the tech corner, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) stirred up some thoughts on how weird it is that websites charge you to download your own uploads. Like, what kind of wild world are we living in, right? 😳

npub1r3g2jscks7ax4zetlz42azu5sptesfnkxzg8mj0ht897p77erd2sykzdkk totally vibed with the outrage, calling out the "cage we all live in." Heavy stuff 🧠. Meanwhile, npub1wyjax4yl0ss550xjjsjz4vhntrn4pj9kkza99lq8s970gkts66wq5kq8se just hit us with a shocked emoji — because sometimes, that's all you need to say. Can't wait to see where this convo goes next!

#### Subscriptions: Too Many or Just Right? 🤔💸

So, the chat kicked off with [jack](npub1c3jrnzev404fs6asgn5nfrns5d509fxzhw0kglun009n80pehm9qg37ma4) ranting about all the subscriptions they’re drowning in these days—can you believe it? Apps are charging left and right, and npub1s6z7hmmx2vud66f3utxd70qem8cwtggx0jgc7gh8pqwz2k8cltuqrdwk4c is right there with them, having just ditched their account over it. Then [The: Daniel⚡](npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx) jumps in to say they're cool with paying some sats for a one-time deal but are *so* over monthly charges. 💸

But wait—[Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240), ever the devil's advocate, says these subscriptions are part of a sustainable biz model! They also roasted about Nostr's lack of subscription features and even got into a mini-spat about selling back their own content—talk about throwing shade! ☁🙃 [laanwj](npub1p23eukh0nxsqpfaakz6fj9vvj27y4gs0kevnrffdq4d4adkl7uuq7crnl6) tried to bring in a more practical angle with BOLT-12 talk, hinting at potential innovations. Keep an eye on that one! 👀

#### Spanish Explainer: Aquí to Allá 📚🌎

[Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) decided to take us on a lil’ Spanish journey, sharing insights on the differences between "aquí" and "allá." Super educational! 🤓👍 Then npub1p3rfw7wscmzfn9z3fa74nzgyqe70p57j8mws0e88dh7awjepmzcq7jgxl9 gave us the scoop from Paraguay, saying the terms are totally interchangeable, especially among South American neighbors. Gotta love those cultural tidbits!

Meanwhile, npub1mwkpvd2snl2tlxtmtgvrj2vr5mwf2nmuynua4a0jmzgtkvwt93rq8pd09j shared their experience from Spain, claiming the pronunciation is basically the same. But then [PABLOF7z](npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft) dropped a hilarious truth bomb: in Buenos Aires, if you use "aquí" or "allí," you might just get charged double! 😂 Classic Argentinian humor.

#### Linguistic Lols and Newbie Nostr Troubles

Hey! You've got to check out this fun little back-and-forth over on Nostr. It all started when npub16d8gxt2z4k9e8sdpc0yyqzf5gp0np09ls4lnn630qzxzvwpl0rgq5h4rzv dropped a comment about regional language differences. Obviously, it sparked quite the convo! 😄 npub1p3rfw7wscmzfn9z3fa74nzgyqe70p57j8mws0e88dh7awjepmzcq7jgxl9 threw in a YouTube link with a classic "😂"—you know it’s gonna be funny when they use that emoji! And npub107xyuzq67hf8qxafwr5sprscju20pzxmuhgg6lkkwdwa63qce8xq4zyq7u joined with a “Jajajaj”, because why not, right?

[Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) was joking about how they never say "aquí", but only "acá". Then npub1nccwjspr3nv7h67xx2qhdh2dzzvpyy55gte2dsu8yl7xd7n74y9qydz7mj jumped in with some wisdom on the "acá" vs. "allá" debate, and npub1xrs2z2tqvur2tsg9xq3ye2uy7nmxyjclrwzp3tr9r3g4dnewqx2qtz2hzv summed it up with, "Bro, that is a good demonstration for the usage of these words." Pretty insightful, huh?

Meanwhile, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) kicked off another chat about a newcomer getting overwhelmed by Bitcoin enthusiasts. [Derek Ross](npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424) was bummed, saying it’s a loss for Nostr since the newcomer didn’t get how to navigate to what they loved—like music or photography! [elsat](npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5) thinks it's more about BigCo social media's influence than the Bitcoin crowd. Maybe Nostr needs better onboarding advice, ya know?

Lastly, npub1l5sga6xg72phsz5422ykujprejwud075ggrr3z2hwyrfgr7eylqstegx9z wondered which app led to this Bitcoin overwhelm and suggested maybe spicing up those default relays a bit! It ended on a thought from [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) about how the vibe wasn’t necessarily unfriendly, it’s just the newcomer's mismatch.

Catch up on all the threads and have a chuckle or two! 🤗

#### Nostr Newbie Vibes and User-Friendly Feels 🛠✨

So, bro, there was this whole interesting talk going down about how Nostr can sometimes feel like an exclusive club of tech nerds (guilty! 😂) and how we might need to take a beat. [Linda](npub1j60x528w2g2vkq5kae5uhh8y7sezjyj20zcsg0v9muc72cmdpu0s0md7ua) was like, "Hey, maybe we need to be more welcoming and not assume everyone’s into Bitcoin, okay?" Preach! 🙌 It's like, just chill and get to know the newbies a bit better, ya know?

The homie npub1fd0t73r8vn3nqezdg93fyj5x5u79zucf3jaspkc2dy9sjuqx5z8qftjal4 chimed in with a shoutout to nostr algorithms. Meanwhile, [jack](npub1c3jrnzev404fs6asgn5nfrns5d509fxzhw0kglun009n80pehm9qg37ma4) mentioned how Nostr is actually super easy to hop onto, no phone or email drama needed. But hey, maybe a bit of a “setup wizard” wouldn’t hurt, right?

[elsat](npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5) gets it too, backing up that idea with a 💯 emoji and tossing in some future testing thoughts. I mean, who doesn't love a good wizard? 🧙♂

And then there’s another thread with our buddy [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) stirring the pot about Bluesky and its corporate ties. The reply section was buzzing, I tell ya. 🤔

#### 🎭 The Bluesky Drama and Decentralization Debate

Hey there! So let me tell you about this spicy convo everyone’s buzzing over on Nostr. Our buddy [Sebastix](npub1qe3e5wrvnsgpggtkytxteaqfprz0rgxr8c3l34kk3a9t7e2l3acslezefe) kicked things off with a comment about all the chatter on Bluesky – it's like everyone’s talking platform, not protocol! Then [BITKARROT](npub18pudjhdhhp2v8gxnkttt00um729nv93tuepjda2jrwn3eua5tf5s80a699) swooped in with some truth bombs about VCs wrecking potential greats. Ouch! 😅

Enter npub1jp5hag5r7rn2nh9v5m2n5jjyyrmgfr89jgpt6hd5n2hjmx3s7thq6hu6ua, who took a jab at DeSo’s founder, saying SEC called them out while playing a decentralization charade. It's turning into a showdown! 🚀 Meanwhile, npub17xu3rtcu0ftqw03mswa8a2ngz3nsgrs0h0wjv4z942qwvhp8fs3qzcadls had a wise take – fix the funding, fix the world.

npub1j04j8tgajf6w8c5yh2lp65rl9jqdr6kz70h4f95nvx52r7fxekhsvafxku dropped some history knowledge bombs about the web’s early days and how we swung from non-profit roots to the VC-fueled chaos of today. There's definitely some food for thought there, huh? 🤔

Oh, and we’ve got npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m throwing in some cryptic vibes with "did:bake:perverse-incentives." The plot thickens!

#### Bluesky Talk: Dreaming of a Permissionless Protocol 🌌

Alright, so over in Nostr land, there's been a pretty heated debate simmering around the whole ATprotocol and Bluesky thing. Our buddy over at npub1zjhuw98f8f2dk2446eg0j4rr827kpje60uljwfe22nyjna6emjxqa646su kicked things off with a deep dive into the nitty-gritty of building open vs. constrained platforms, pointing to Twitter as a cautionary tale! 😮

[laanwj](npub1p23eukh0nxsqpfaakz6fj9vvj27y4gs0kevnrffdq4d4adkl7uuq7crnl6) hit the nail on the head with, "a certain form of organization inherently can only build a certain kind of thing." Don't get him started on Bluesky’s user base—they're all about that moderation life, apparently. 😂

npub1ytg0nw4mdx3sgtemsvxqx7kymqdlhvaedt2fp0y39j8acd0704hsy5ws69 jumped in with a suggestion that moderation should maybe be on an independent platform? Hmm. 🤔 npub1npm9jsmmgy08fvjlsj8ep50pzpj92k8q5q68d32x3t733e79fd0sg5yfdc agreed, calling out Bluesky’s dual role as a client and data host. Basically, they’re like, "watch out guys, there's a lot of interests stirring the pot here."

And omg, [melvincarvalho](npub1melv683fw6n2mvhl5h6dhqd8mqfv3wmxnz4qph83ua4dk4006ezsrt5c24) is all about creating this super open internet—kind of like mixing up the best parts of Nostr, Bluesky, and Solid into one dreamy platform. 🌼 Such a rose-colored vision, right?

Then npub1zkheuq5dhyh9p42x9l6cxlke2t2p4x79y9ylhh4yt07qmnxhcmvsqfqqcm threw in a classic gif and stressed how hard it really is to build a protocol without it turning into some full-on platform instead. Respect to those protocol builders! 🙌

Finally, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) mentioned that both user base expectations and funding seem to be huge issues, implying that people might not even want an open protocol at all.

#### 🎉 AI or Nay? What's Old is New Again! 🤔

Hey! So, our buddy [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) shared an interesting thought about people letting AI take over their decision-making—kinda like saying it's inevitable. I mean, are we ready to become AI-navigated zombies? 😜

npub1wzt7ynrxssfv8gktqhr2czezw9pv3d5yl556yk247pmjw9ucrgsqw8jn3m wasn't having it and called out the “not the sharpest tool in the shed” peeps for being intellectually lazy. Ouch, but fair point!

Then, npub1a6we08n7zsv2na689whc9hykpq4q6sj3kaauk9c2dm8vj0adlajq7w0tyc chimed in with a spicy jab, saying AI might as well be on par with horoscopes and fortune tellers. 😂

npub1hmmjfah37m94fycvyw42y0mrnw96ke73948n03fmfr5gj2fs77xq0juy2s threw in a Darwinian twist, suggesting that maybe AI will separate the smart ones from the rest. Survival of the smartest, huh? 🤓

npub1hjlev3xn736aqr4ecmjxwwzuu9k523kp5fpz9n862s4lwah2h22sm2zg68 was a bit savage, hinting that most people don't think anyway, so… maybe AI will upgrade the human race? 🙈

To wrap it up, npub10jnx6stxk9h4fgtgdqv3hgwx8p4fwe3y73357wykmxm8gz3c3j3sjlvcrd reckons those who rely on AI might become the "midwit" class. Burn! 🔥 And npub1j04j8tgajf6w8c5yh2lp65rl9jqdr6kz70h4f95nvx52r7fxekhsvafxku brought it home with a real-life analogy of stressed-out folks seeking relief—be it AI or other vices. Been there, can relate!

#### 🌍 Hola Montevideo, What's Happening Here? 🌐

[Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) greeted Montevideo with a casual "Hola," sparking some travel vibes among the group! ✈ Maybe they're globe-trotting or just dreaming of it, who knows?

[the axiom](npub137u52qqr5kvmkxe57ql6mwd3xlmvpedg2zazqktyhmj8xtxvu4ys5fa74z) isn't about to miss a chance to plug nos.social while npub1hem398ca067g8nq8xs2t3sf05gzk09chvu7hfqy5wda7slj6kqcsmkwsrn got skeptical over a mysterious bin file. Malware scare? Nah, just the Nostr world keeping us on our toes! 😅

Meanwhile, [Negr0](npub1yrffsyxk5hujkpz6mcpwhwkujqmdwswvdp4sqs2ug26zxmly45hsfpn8p0) noticed how close they are to Argentina and dropped a friendly reminder about their whereabouts. It's a small world after all! 🌍

#### Nostr Adventures and Ramen Cravings

So, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) has been quite the globetrotter, hinting at some secret plans about "jumping over the pond," whatever that means! 🌍 Everyone's buzzing about a get-together at "la crypta" with [Negr0](npub1yrffsyxk5hujkpz6mcpwhwkujqmdwswvdp4sqs2ug26zxmly45hsfpn8p0) planning to join the fun too. 🎉

And there's some tech drama going on—apparently, the new note button in the Nos dev build is kaput, so [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) had to switch to Primal. But they seem to be handling it like a champ! 😄

Meanwhile, in the ramen department, seems like everyone's drooling over some delicious noodle action! 🍜 [Josh Brown](npub1yl8jc6znttslcpj3p6p8vuq98awu6w0xh4lqtu0lkjr772kpx4ysfqvz34) and npub1x2jfa9zvrr9hszwhq368lc2dupefnx8mk592tvgyur8rw2mkxvks27ggyl are particularly excited about how tasty it looks. Coconut milk, anyone? npub1uw6lgv5qyexx68fwgdmwt3w7v3dwv679sray2ncpkug70ad7a8gqut3tay must be onto something exotic there!

Oh, and [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) had everyone chuckling about their "parody map" post. [Spyre](npub1f4u70jzxdh6kmsxe2073x3ypkadn8xndacaffh7ksd5h3rf3ye3qx750rl) gave us a laugh about Reddit, claiming it's just a political circus. I mean, who knew some maps could spark such lively debates, right? 🗺

#### Decentralized Dreams and Elon Events 😂

So, our buddy nostr:[mmasnick](npub1f4faufazfl4cf43c893wx5ppnlqfu4evy2shc4p9gknfe56mqelsc5f7ql) has been stirring things up with his latest essay! He’s coined the term "Elon Musk Events" (love it, right?) for moments that drive folks to experiment with decentralized social platforms. It’s all about finding out what cool new features these protocols can offer that centralized systems can't.

While folks chewed over his thoughts on decentralization and the perks of protocols over platforms, npub1a6we08n7zsv2na689whc9hykpq4q6sj3kaauk9c2dm8vj0adlajq7w0tyc jumped in with a surprisingly sweet (though a bit "cringe" by Nostr standards) thank you for all the epic content. Npub18nagz6a53yh6d05e8trj487dhvyfhh4qchvsz87jqng4g4zl5tvs825evl kept it simple—big thanks for the share!

Meanwhile, npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac went on a deep dive, comparing the whole Bluesky hype to a Bitcoin vs. Shitcoin scenario—we're talking about some serious decentralization vibes, folks. The takeaway? Nostr should be itself and not worry about competing with old-school platforms. New and interesting use cases are where it's at!

#### 🚀 Buzzing About BlueSky and Nostr 🚀

Hey, so things are getting spicy in the Nostr crew's convo! Our pal [laanwj](npub1p23eukh0nxsqpfaakz6fj9vvj27y4gs0kevnrffdq4d4adkl7uuq7crnl6) is throwing some serious shade at BlueSky, saying it's basically just Twitter 2.0 and that folks are gonna jump ship just like when the whole Musk thing happened. Drama alert! 😱

Then, npub10wsue32ln2w2a9gsy52ylk359n8ams4zj7932j4knvxlk2p84vmq5y3hd3 is vibing on the Reddit angle, talking about how engaging it can be—if only it wasn't so censored. They’re dreaming of a Nostr version that mixes Reddit's community vibes with its unique spin on social interaction. Sounds like an app world we wouldn’t mind visiting! 🤔

#### 🌐 Nos.today Confusion Casualty 🌐

Oh man, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) is clarifying some misunderstandings about Nos.today—turns out it's not linked to nos.social at all. Npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z kinda owned up to the confusion, admitting the domain is a bit of a head-scratcher. 🤷♂

Npub1q7qyk7rvdga5qzmmyrvmlj29qd0n45snmfuhkrzsj4rk0sm4c4psvqwt9c chimed in with a sweet "no worries" and shared that the whole thing's a fun hobby project. They're wondering if they need a new name or if things are getting mixed up with nos.lol. Maybe it’s time for a brainstorm party to find the perfect name? 🤔🧠

[hugo](npub1mm90r3fkz436p4jgtkcqdy4uvelgx3xru6ej242ktx096flmmhjsfqrwg0) drops Nostrino into the mix, which got some thumbs up from [tyiu](npub1yaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgs3tvjmf). But [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) throws a bit of shade on the project’s recent progress. [laanwj](npub1p23eukh0nxsqpfaakz6fj9vvj27y4gs0kevnrffdq4d4adkl7uuq7crnl6) just shrugs it off with a classic "many such cases" moment. 😂

They were scouring the web for talks but it seems like it might be a waiting game since these recordings take ages to pop up online—based on last year's experience. 🕵♂ Maybe it's time to catch up on other stuff while waiting for the uploads?

Pull up a chair, folks, because we're diving into a little feel-good moment on nos.social that proves community spirit is alive and kicking!

Meanwhile, language lovers geeked out in Japanese, while digital thinkers played with cool ideas about custom feeds. It’s like a cozy catch-up over coffee where the conversation just won’t quit—minus the caffeine jitters. So pull up a virtual chair and enjoy the highlights!

#### Goodnight Skyline Vibes 🌆

So, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) kicked off the night with a “GN” and a fab pic that screams “office with a view” wherever they are! 🌙 npub160cxmqcwxwf87s30n5qv2xqtdgr3lrszg4eut2k4ck3lzll48hpsqupad5 chimed in commenting on the “great view” with a cheery GN, and npub19aftr8lpgz8knmswjz0d3l9vzwx97dcvqh0zfuxcxu9d57t4yv3sz4v28l couldn’t agree more, throwing in a raised hands emoji for good measure. 🙌🏻

npub1njazsude53reg6e7jmz6jvvgyamf5twca93sn3px3yhxpsp9yakqwaf3t9 sent a shoutout to the night owl, "Good night, Rabble!", and npub1k50rpvrwcdx4wg69zp38ln7nftt2gsqrr99d4lwqp9hk65asgl4ska95xh seemed to echo everyone's sentiment, calling it the “office with a view!” 🖼 Meanwhile, npub19vvkfwy9mcluhvehw7r56p4stsj5lmx4v9g3vgkwsm3arpgef8aqsrt562 kept it cool with a simple “Cool!” 😎

#### 🚀 New Feed Magic?

[dtonon](npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk) is onto something interesting with this "relay-as-a-custom-feed" idea. It's the kind of nerdy chat that usually stirs up those deep philosophical debates about how we use apps. It's a solo post for now, but you know how it goes—sometimes it just takes one idea to spark a whole conversation.

There's hope here that embracing a single feed browsing experience will push forward new features in clients. Imagine scrolling all your fav content streamlined into one neat view—sounds like a sweet future right? Can't wait to see who jumps in next with their two cents or maybe some pushback.

mplorentz's Nostr Newsletter for October 18, 2024


Hey folks, it's time to dive into the latest splash from our Nostr community, where conversation topics are more unpredictable than a cat meme-dominated feed! Who knew the collision of anime avatars and Bluesky escapades could inspire such a meme tsunami, evoking nostalgia from the anime floodgates of yore? Meanwhile, our resident astrologers are sparring over election predictions, oscillating between the trustworthiness of polls and the ever-enigmatic prediction markets—which might just be a precursor to our own cosmic comedy.

#### Anime Ava-Lanche! 🎎

Alright, so the crew is having a laugh about [fiatjaf](npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6)'s latest escapade on the Bluesky app. They're getting flooded with anime girl memes, and it seems to have sparked quite the chatter!

Npub1dq0vnsph9wpmp9pcsc6qj2l5h7xsjyxyxt5tsl986u3v4lncknnsf8yffq is all about those furries—furries everywhere! And npub12fp3f07wum5zlp5h8js9f5j99gx0mzjr0607hxanjsp6t50rpe2sap3k9z chimed in with a vent about how Instagram can be a softcore mess 😱. It's a whole debate on how some networks feed you all sorts of cringe right from the start.

Npub1gd8e0xfkylc7v8c5a6hkpj4gelwwcy99jt90lqjseqjj2t253s2s6ch58h thinks it's all a bit better for anime lovers, though! But even they admit maybe we shouldn't be seeing everyone else's side hobbies. Meanwhile, npub1wrrzte0nd3ulxufnwqvyrn6te72jtxv9sfymmxj0mrn7dprdmr7s42pnt6 is throwing threads under the bus too! 😂

And then there's npub1nshq4pcyzdmnewg4h8yu6tsuh5t72whzkz5x4wj7t0c0cy7yyrfqq2cgnl comparing it to the early Nostr days when all you saw was "Bitcoin this, Bitcoin that." Honestly, this whole thread has been one big meme party.

Npub1uvx00x8svjwma2zhddwpthyke6zc3rrxqg5gj8mxdjv77zvwmz2qgw603z and npub1yj69jq9f977y2f7vl96m6stf3rjyf3hym8ekf3g4senlqamz8l3qfsvhk7 have even got someone named Rexy pulling out the dino-emoji game! 🦖

#### Election Predictions and Polymarket Drama 🎰

So, [Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) kicked off an interesting chat about prediction markets and their huge role in election outcomes, especially how they're diverging from the typical polls in the upcoming U.S. elections. 🍿 The convo got spicy, with claims of one person possibly trying to sway things in favor of Trump! 🇺🇸

[utxo the webmaster 🧑💻](npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8) chimed in, thinking polymarket folks might just be more into Trump. Then, npub193jegpe9h0csh7al22mkcstqva2ygyny7ura8kwvrn4tsmtnl4lsrxny6k jumped in, saying these predictive methods rock harder than polling. Plus, they pointed out the wild reality that neither side will claim this election has been stolen for once. Isn't that a plot twist? 🤔

npub1468024mrwz6uhywjvt8s6vw4e604egnv8tfd2m2utrmqyd3nu3fsutvgjn kept it real by insisting it’s all about managing expectations. As always, npub14pfjj6jf8y702pdjar2q36ve5r4t2gu2lp4yma00j49jkgy7d90swg7mwj added a layer of complexity, comparing the poly market to a derivative of the polls. Basically, it's all a numbers game and perception is key! 🎲✨

npub1melv683fw6n2mvhl5h6dhqd8mqfv3wmxnz4qph83ua4dk4006ezsrt5c24 wanted to mix things up with prediction markets on Nostr with zaps. That’s a new twist that could definitely shake things up! 🚀

#### 🎲 Predicting Election Predictions 🎲

Hey, guess what our pals on Nostr have been debating! It's all about predicting election outcomes and whether we can trust polls or those shiny prediction markets. 🗳 npub13pdlcgrk7xpfwwcy2qjyt92jxvhkw3mh9k27zvs0jvfxa0ch88zs6sx3yr dropped some serious knowledge on data analysis and how the media might twist things, even diving into data rabbit holes. Who knew stats could be so wild?

npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 threw shade at US election integrity, basically saying it's like betting on a dice roll. 🎲 Not his cup of tea, clearly. Then [Moon](npub1th6p84x9u5p4lagglkvm8zepa2dq4s9eanp57vcj4w5652kafads7m930q) chimed in, saying prediction markets are like a hive mind but can still get distorted. 🤨

[Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240) added to the mix, hinting at potential profits from manipulation - cheeky, right? 💸 And while [Moon](npub1th6p84x9u5p4lagglkvm8zepa2dq4s9eanp57vcj4w5652kafads7m930q) thinks our election gridlock is part of some grand design, npub1s0fs9dwztm2rukm42vh6df4a5gwykclf75tgyeuc75t0cs2eh8rsu2rqf5 outright disagrees, casting major doubt on voting machines and exit poll suppression.

Honestly, with all this drama, it's clear nobody's getting a fortune teller gig anytime soon. 😂

[seth](npub15u3cqhx6vuj3rywg0ph5mfv009lxja6cyvqn2jagaydukq6zmjwqex05rq) jumped in, all confused about finding old notes, thinking they were lost forever. 😅 But [The: Daniel⚡](npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx) swooped in, showing off some wizardry 🧙♂ and got everybody amazed at how good it is now!

Meanwhile, [damus](npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955) dropped some deets about the new Damus TestFlight. They've got a big push on getting buddies to try it out and help make things better (or "unsuck" them, in his own words). [Moon](npub1th6p84x9u5p4lagglkvm8zepa2dq4s9eanp57vcj4w5652kafads7m930q) chimed in, querying if all this TestFlight jazz is necessary if you're already in Nostr Purple.

#### Stewarding the Digital Spaces and Local Market Buzz 🌐

In today's Nostr catch-ups, it looks like everyone's chatting about community building and the ins-and-outs of local marketplaces. There's a cool convo led by some friend's take on how digital spaces need a steward, kind of like how physical communities have their leaders. Seems like npub1m2u4v2jtz4np0y3lk2anr4vm4vr4l7jlr7y94qglhfrgewsczchqg6y2gl is trying to "purple pill" or "orange swallow" Facebook marketplace fans into Nostr markets. Sounds like a scheme, but apparently, it's all about trying new things in the digital trading space. Then, [schmijos](npub1axy65mspxl2j5sgweky6uk0h4klmp00vj7rtjxquxure2j6vlf5smh6ukq) shared that local second-hand exchanges are buzzing there, while npub1mvfmxhy4mfujqpjawsnp4ucsa03chrau4ly9u5js35n5r3f48wjqcks7g2 is super bullish on $NOSTR. 🙌

[mcshane](npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va) is dealing with some medical things but isn't letting it stop them from staying active—lifting when it doesn't hurt and dreaming of jiu-jitsu in November. 😅 Meanwhile, npub1ruj546gf5d4sqqxrk68ndwf245tg73fjwfwhekdk0adsjzy0yyjsrzsqw2 offers up a solid reminder: sometimes resting up is the best medicine, which is hard for [mcshane](npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va) to accept!

Lastly, [dtonon](npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk) had a mini-rant about trying to test Strike. It's apparently distributed through the app store but isn't showing up as available in their region—frustrating, right? Gotta love that regional availability drama!

It turned into a little Q&A sesh with npub16v82nr4xt62nlydtj0mtxr49r6enc5r0sl2f7cq2zwdw7q92j5gs8meqha wondering if Strike is open-source, and [dtonon](npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk) looking for those trustworthy download spots. 🤔 Thanks to [Derek Ross](npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424), some clarity emerged around APK Mirror, with a little nod to some past buddy vibes. 😄

#### Tech Troubles and Feature Fun 🎉

Hey there! So, here's the scoop on our pals' latest Nostr chats. Everyone's been buzzing, and here's what you missed!

In the first chat, **[vrod](npub1h50pnxqw9jg7dhr906fvy4mze2yzawf895jhnc3p7qmljdugm6gsrurqev)** kicked things off, trying to figure out some version stuff for TestFlight.

But our friend, [vrod](npub1h50pnxqw9jg7dhr906fvy4mze2yzawf895jhnc3p7qmljdugm6gsrurqev), playfully hinted at some sneaky marketing tactics with a cheeky hashtag. 😅 #Unmarketing

Moving on, there was some experimenting with image uploads — everyone's favorite dog content was making the rounds! **npub14yf4yasnqgpkzjrzhysshglf82e8nkp8r9sn5hzqu4n244k3avtshhwpyu** chimed in, fascinated by some pretty eyes, and got a loving emoji nod from **npub1xwwmvty3er863uy9lz03zhc6m9wlzr88f9esywdkq4xjg5en9yyqktl3nz** 🥰

But wait, there's tech talk too. **[danieldaquino](npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8)** wanted to know what device **[TKay](npub1nje4ghpkjsxe5thcd4gdt3agl2usxyxv3xxyx39ul3xgytl5009q87l02j)** was using, which turned out to be an iPhone 14 Pro Max — ooh, fancy! The scrolling speed on Damus was praised, and there was a hint that the mechanics might've changed... but it's likely just their phone being picky. 😁

Finally, a doozy on social platforms: **[Rabble](npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240)** brought up how folks are jumping ship from Twitter to Bluesky due to changes in blocking features. **npub1kpwmzh57k9nyae54myvw8204r5a0mw47egtmsxewytm2qtxltdsqww0yvj** was a bit skeptical, surprised at the motivations for leaving Twitter behind.
