The one thing that I like about Nostr (the protocol) is that you don’t need to create an account for every platform.
Instead, you create a pair of keys (public/private) that can be used across all #Nostr platforms/apps and everything (content to social graph) is just there, wherever you are.
And you can change your handle (to a domain) as often as you want without losing anything, because you’re not locked into platform-specific accounts.
I wish ActivityPub had this.

Unless you’re a Threads user in the European Region. 🫤
But the new Bluesky updates are most impressive.

Found my Nostr keys (in between the couch cushions). Decided to learn more about the protocol and its community. Just for fun.

Tag Groups in @npub1cnh…wtw0 is an absolute game-changer, and I can’t believe it took me this long to use them.
Instead of following hashtags (and killing your home feed), you simply group them by topic, name it, and pin it.
Ice Cubes is now my main Mastodon app because of this and several other kick-ass features.

I’m an American living and working in Finland, but I work from home and my exposure to Finnish is limited and transactional vs. conversational as a result.
I do aspire to learn Finnish though.
In the meantime, my daughter goes to a Finnish public school and is quickly learning the language.
