Always watch out for which key signer you're using. Not all of them are equally secure. View quoted note →

Controversial opinion: People have always organized themselves into clans. Like big extended families or groups of those families and neighborhoods. That has always been our natural way of setting up society. It's been like that for thousands of years. This modern hyper-individualism is unnatural and it has just made us all lonelier. Lonelier, poorer, powerless, dependent on government welfare and institutional help. We've traded away our security and power, in the form of sovereignty, for our egos that are so vulnerable to temporary trends. What a crappy deal. View quoted note →

You know what I also love about Nostr? There are all these different bubbles here, like various friend circles or groups. If you sketch them out schematically, they're basically these clusters of users who interact a ton with each other. If you really keep an eye out, you'll notice that every now and then, two big bubbles merge together. You can totally see it happening. A pack leader from one bubble connects with the pack leader from another, and all of a sudden, new followers from Bubble A start following folks from Bubble B, and the other way around. I always find that kinda stuff fascinating. It's like in ancient Arabia, two tribes teaming up because two people from different ones got married. 😄
