 I've finally found someone else using voyage. welcome!

It does not exist on Bluesky, Meta, X or other cor... 
 why does everybody keep claiming the tools are rough? I am finding my client (voyage) very easy to use and quite delightful 
 these pictures, wow! 
 I don't get it, you mean they follow people without them noticing? but is hiding that really important?

 thank you! now I can see quite a lot of stuff there (I didn't change any relays anywhere), it's really quite a fiery discussion! 
 I decided to unfollow most accounts that don’t follow anyone.
One sided participation isn’t p... 
 what are these accounts? I smell some professional influencer vibes

 what is there to see? just two replies and neither @fiatjaf nor @jack have replied 
 I hate apps that don't have a native dark mode.  
 why hate if you can go there and fix it, right?

 is the quality of the software too bad? I hardly see any difference between this and a twitter app, but maybe I am just being generous because of my idealism 
 I will never stop saying this. ALL elections are rigged as far as I’m concerned because of this... 
 couldn't there be fraud with open-source machines?

 so you think nostr is fun? I thought we were all here because we were idealists!

 now I am curious, what link was it? 
 People often ask me "is it worth investing my time in nostr?"

IDK IS IT WORTH BREAKING YOUR FUCK... 
 I am not sure if you got it but they were asking if they would benefit FINANCIALLY from it 
 no. thats what it would have meant if you said it. 🙂 
 I don't get why you answered so aggressively 
 there are alot of people calling bs out. you dont need to flatter ODELL. he’ll treat you the sa... 
 aren't you trying to flatter him with this comment? sorry just thought I would remind you 
 Man, I wish I have a the time to listen to 7 podcast a day. ;) 
 you can do it, you just need more dishes to wash and a bump on that speed 
 Like many, I really enjoy podcast, but fuck I absolutely hate the moment of prostitution where th... 
 the problem is when you are listening but has your hands wet while washing dishes and an ad starts, it can be cruel 
 would be nice to have a feed on voyage that doesn't include any media URLs

I have noticed that some profiles post image URLs almost exclusively 
 we all die, our existence in this world is ephemeral, we will be forgotten and our work will perish

but whatever has happened never leaves the realm of existence 
 I had tried other clients before but voyage is the only one that filled my feed this fast

it has a constant stream of profile recommendations with an easy follow button 
 whoa, that is very harsh
I am very sorry :(

life doesn't end, though, he will still be alive in other modes of existence

not that this helps with your pain here
I wish you my best wishes of luck and strength 
 That's not good. What are you searching that makes it crash? 
 I searched some profiles first and it worked great, but now it crashes before I have the chance to type anything 
 If it doesn't give enough context and there are like upvotes on the post I usually don't click th... 
 upvotes are a bad sign? haha :) 
 I very much like not seeing people's pictures, voyage is great because of that

just straight to the content 
 so @dluvian search was working but then it stopped working, every time I click to go there voyage crashes 
 I heard nostrcheck.me had free image uploads but I couldn't find a way to upload there. what did I get wrong? 
 this can't be true, right? 
 You shouldn't be seeing posts with just an image link but clients overload the text note event to... 
 so voyage filter out those? well now that I am thinking I don't remember seeing any post that was just one image link, generally they have some words too, but it's not enough context

 Why did humans evolve to be mostly right handed? 🤔 
 evolution is not a thing that happened 
 I don't think so 
 but they are!

 but I am not addicted, and I never have any idea of what the picture is before opening it because there is no context most of the time, please give me that option! 
 edited posts often gave me issues on twitter, like a link to an edited post would not show anything except a button to "refresh"

 most of these people's last notes were months ago! 
 once someone said dying is exactly like sleeping - not as a metaphore, not an uninformed ancient belief, it was a scientifically minded youngster - I hope it is not, because dreaming forever would be like hell 
 thank you, math ninja 
 outsiders probably have a hard time integrating into this mess, but it's probably fine, they should bring their own friends instead 
 I'd say turn off all other relays but with inbox/outbox and depending on what client you're using...
