ugh yeah … I have not encountered so many males who label themselves as “carnivores” on their profile about me until I joined Nostr.
A few years ago, for Earth Day, I learned that farming large animals for meat contributes more to excessive amounts of carbon than “all vehicles combined”.
Although, probably the main problem is all the restaurants in densely populated areas that keep on pushing meaty and oily dishes to make money.

something i’ve been wanting to look up … is decentralized social media only possible due to blockchain technology? Is this why it hasn’t started earlier?
Putting this as a note like tying a string on the finger. 😐

extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence … I’m not the one making extraordinary claims here. The responsibility is on the guy who is.

just saw your comment! Someone on reddit shared a video tutorial by that guy who is coding Damus… I had to go to a website called zap.army and toggle on, so now I have the ⚡️ on posts and comments. Someone on reddit also suggested I use Coinos wallet, which is working. So now I just set it and forget it ☺️ just allow the magic piggy bank to be.

I’ve read posts with similar sentiments on Reddit, in the subreddits of r/antiwork, r/leanFIRE, r/simpleliving, and r/adulting.
The slightly frustrating thing for me reading those posts is that nobody mentions Bitcoin. That’s why I’m liking Nostr. Those same topics are discussed, but with the inclusion of Bitcoin.
So basically everyone’s complaining about wanting more relaxation time for themselves …
it also gets repeatedly pointed out by people who have financial independence that - the problem shifts from ‘surviving’ to ‘thriving’, as in, having meaning and purpose in their daily life.
I’ve read a few posts from basically some newly rich person going, “now I’m bored!” haha

Oh like this post that Jeff Booth reposted? #note19xr…vqn3 (via Bitcoin Apex).
I totally agree actually. I can see how that has happened for me on a individual scale.
That actually is very intriguing and exciting. I think that’s always been possible even when people are “poor” though … but I’ve also see in my own life, how the toxic cultures of higher education and workplaces can exacerbate divisions. It sucks. Hence, the “broken system” phrase.

So you’re saying, “nation state and corporate treasury adoption” is *not* boring because it is part of the path for Bitcoin to become global currency (and not just lumped in with other risk assets). … but … then this is somehow connected with enabling a more Utopian society based on the values of Christianity?
Your other comment with the catchphrase “fix the money, fix the world” makes sense. I guess that’s why it is a popular catchphrase.
Anyways, GN 💤😴

I think my main thought is, by making the economic system more fair and balanced (via Bitcoin vs. USA fiat only) is a pretty sure fire way to reduce a certain type of suffering for a lot of people.
Your comment about how in some religious views “it is important to ensure that everyone is not corrupt, not criminal and saved.“
…. how do you ensure that? People make their own choices?
I actually wasn’t sure how your comment related to the topic … but it made me think of other spiritual worldviews

in other spiritual beliefs, it’s important to reduce suffering …

idk… if any ⚡️ were given, I don’t see it on my coinos page. I think I might’ve accidentally zapped you back 1000 cuz I didn’t set the default amount. 😴💤🥱 GN

2025-03-21 23:12:09

I really hope this is done now. Switched from the Alby wallet to coinos … it does seem to be easier … wow what a wallet setup journey.
First, I asked chat GPT what wallets to use with Nostr. The ones it suggested (ex: Wallet of Satoshi) did not work either due to region (USA, NY), or phone (iOS), or was not actually compatible with Nostr (Speed, Strike, Muun).
So then I got the bright idea to see what Nostr recommends, which is how I wound up with Alby. But that one needs Alby Hub, and the free “diy” version apparently requires setting up a node.
So, finally - Coinos.
This felt like I was at work. 🤷🏻‍♀️

#nostrzaps Is it possible to zap a post or comment? I’m not seeing a way to do that… (newly connected lightning wallet)

well I can definitely put three or more words together without AI, just not on any of those listed topics.

2025-03-19 17:41:25

I think I set up a lightning wallet using Alby. Went through like 3, before realizing only certain ones work with Nostr. (I tried Speed, Strike, and Muun, and those do not work either due to my region or it’s not compatible with Nostr). Slight frustrating friction.

it does for me! I occasionally use the option to slow it down, like .75 or something. Whatever that one lower option is.

It falls under the category of stories about a person’s ‘awakening’. I think any genre can go with that important theme, and do it in their own style. The style could be light, or dark/heavy/cynical+hopeful. I think the Matrix is in the 2nd group.

just saw this from someone who apparently works with AI technology. Currently I think AI is helping the average person (me, for one). I’ve had very therapy-like chats with it (which has a social aspect), and learned about financial planning and stuff so (informational), it’s been very practical. https://image.nostr.build/af50b8b45cb75ecbc25a0fc221a76358fa95e070db6819aac865a06622995427.jpg

#socialisolation
I think I mainly feel “social isolation” after 7:30 pm during long winters. (Every winter eventually feels like a long winter ha).
It’s like, the light is too dim to wanna do any desk stuff. My vision has gotten sensitive to light/dark contrasts (I sometimes get ophthalmic migraines, so need reduced screen time), so it’s actually not really “social isolation” but something that has been written about in literature since at least 200 years ago … what they called “the tedious hours”. Especially in winter.
Also, something else that gets lumped under the word “social isolation” is just that life has a repetitive aspect. Whether you’re married with kids, or a college student with a core friend group since highschool, or a couple with pets, there’s a repetitive aspect to daily life… even if you do occasional out of the ordinary things like go on a 3 day ski trip, or take a month-long vacation.

every person obviously cares about their health, physical and mental-emotional, and everyone is aware of their own energy levels on a daily basis. Individuals gotta make their own choices. For me, eating mostly vegetarian has been working out pretty well compared to when I eat junk foods or meals heavy on red meat, salt, and fried at high temps.
therefore, I cut out red meats, and sharply reduced white meats. Been doing this since the 3rd grade.

I don’t know about other carnivorous animals, however, what I’ve learned about dogs is that they have much shorter digestive systems compared with humans, which is better for digesting meat. Humans have much longer digestive systems, which is better for digesting plants.

oh cool. Yeah I see your posts are talking about micropayments or something … I would like to figure out how to set up the zap / lightning wallet thing, just cuz it’s cool to have that option! Although I want to avoid feeling like I’m posting just to get a small payment.

#introductions follow up - first time using a decentralized social media app.
It feels like a mix of Reddit and Threads, except that everyone on here seems to be a self-selecting bunch of people who value decentralization in its two major forms (in social media, and in finance). So, for that reason, I’m liking it.

haha I like all of those things except “carnivore”. I think eating red meat is really unhealthy for the body and the environment. I think I’ll probably just “lurk” a bit and get used to this whole deso thing.

thank you for explaining! It gives me a few more questions though don’t feel the need to personally respond haha. I would want to use Damus Nostr, though I might wanna also try pixelfed, the one that is like Instagram.
what does that distinction mean about Bluesky being “filtered” not decentralized? 🤔 that might be a question for chat gpt later…
