I do find it funny that I only learned about #Bitcoin so young because I was wondering how #LulzSec got donations.
It was strange to see a clearnet site with a donate section that was a BTC address at the time, let alone one for a hacking group.

It seems to me we might not be suited for constant communication or even the constant ability to communicate with everyone at anytime.
In the past, the norms around reaching out to someone were remarkably different, as not everyone was instantly connected. Communication often occurred through slower means such as in-person interactions or mail, where waiting weeks for a response was typical. There was a mutual understanding that individuals had their own lives and responsibilities, resulting in less immediate expectations for replies compared to today's instant communication culture.
Perhaps there's merit in revisiting or evolving our communication norms to reflect those values from the past. This could involve embracing a slower, more intentional approach to communication that values patience, presence, and deeper connections. By doing so, we may find greater fulfillment and meaning in our interactions, thus fostering more genuine and enriching relationships. I think direct intentional communication can create boundaries and have a more fulfilling life.
By embracing that slower, more intentional approach to communication, individuals may find greater satisfaction in their relationships and feel less pressure to keep up with a large network of contacts. This could involve setting boundaries around communication, prioritizing quality over quantity in relationships, and making concerted efforts to nurture deeper connections with those who matter most to us.

I've listened to many people give reasons to use #Nostr.
I think there is a clear divide however with what #nostriches deem as "value" and what value is. Value isn't simply zaps and money.
Value is also clout, a like, a follow, etc.
Actual good reasons of Nostr is the that in most instances it can't be shutdown easily and that your social graph can be moved around.
Maybe it's just me, but people are tired of paying for services, so why pay when liking a post or boosting it is free?
STOP SAYING THE ONLY VALUE WORTH ANYTHING IS ZAPS.

The weird people who work retail or fast food makes me realize I'd rather not do that again. I worked with a dude who would talk about weather machines anytime there was rain as an excuse why he was late to work.
First off, there are no weather machines that manipulate the weather.
Second, why would they only happen to stop you from coming to work?

Honestly looking at the DAU and not really seeing an uptick anywhere besides 6 months ago for a brief period of time. Only 10k active people daily. It just seems quiet here so far.

I always wanted a virtual library experience within virtual reality. The idea to have analog experiences within a digital world at any moment just sounds amazing. Similar to why #BigScreenVR is cool it's because you can pop in and watch a movie with randoms. Imagine doing that but going to read a book with random around, having an library with every book digitized and ready to read in VR.

Not me literally looking lost in a bookstore because I look at my phone to lookup a book and forget what I was looking at 5 secs later
