I LOVE NOSTR. I use it as my news source, my social app, and my ask-anything tool via asknostr. I struggled with it at first, because everything is so different, but boy things have improved over time! Nostr is the place to be, and i'm here for the ride😊. #Nostr image

Do you have any concrete examples of what type of tech you have in mind that shares human values?

This is the #bookstr macro I want to use for publishing all of the Great Works, so anyone interested should scream at me, now. (Or don't, and scream at me, later, as I am always around. πŸ˜‚) I've been working on it, for months, by attempting to publish different `30040` structures and see how I would best-address the individual parts. Also, I've been reading a lot of citation pattern documentation. That's how I came to the conclusion to make one generic book macro, rather than something #Bible specific. #christian #catholic #biblestr

The #bookstr πŸ“– macro is hierarchical. If you find a section or verse event, in the wild, you can just drop the section tags, to find the whole chapter, or the section and chapter tags, to find the whole book. This means you can always backtrack to the entire publication, from just one quoted line or paragraph. We are going to be having these tags in all of our publications, so you will be able to "Bible-search" and "Bible-cite" any of our books! I love books. Name checks out. 😎

Some things: 1. *You have to scroll-right on mobile.* Unlike Jumble and Alexandria, Wikistr is an unapologetic desktop-focused app, and that's why it's cool. If you have a wide screen, you can open up lots of panels, and make some wider, and it turns into the document version of a Bloomberg terminal. Credit for this design goes to @npub180cv...h6w6. 2. The different Wikistr themes have different looks, help text, and *different relays*, for the document search and the social interactions. #Quranstr uses Nostrabia, for instance, whilst #Biblestr focuses on Christpill. The basic #Wikistr has been left secular. I am looking for a Jewish relay, but haven't yet found one, so #Torahstr uses generic ones. 3. All have light and *dark themes*. The light themes are so much prettier, but I know you will all use the dark ones. 4. All themes take *your personal relay list* into account, and share a few document relays, so you can just pick the theme you like and use that. 5. *We printed the Bible first because Gutenberg did* and he's the inspiration for our Nostr printing press. We will proceed to print all other open-license books we can find, including the Torah, Quran, classical authors, English literature, etc. They will all be searchable, with this mechanism. 6. This wikistr *can find and render kinds 300023, 30041, 30817, 30818, 30040*, and the comments are kind 1111 and you can vote at the top of the panels, using the up/down arrow buttons. Only kinds 30817/818 are in the left-most panel feed, to keep it uncluttered and true to the origins. The hyperlinks mentioned are: The original Wikistr, that I forked: https://wikistr.com/ Wikistr Imwald 🌲 https://wikistr.imwald.eu/ https://torahstr.imwald.eu/ https://quranstr.imwald.eu/ https://biblestr.imwald.eu/ GM

It's worth noting that Psalm 42 is prayed by the priest and altar servers at the beginning of every Catholic Mass celebrated according to the old form (1962 and previous).

When I was told about nostr I got some helpful tips, building community is about interaction, follower counts do not matter, because anyone can artificially boost their follower count and high followers + low interaction looks inauthentic. Not to give up even if it takes weeks to get any traction or get noticed, something about low time preference. The introduction grownostr and asknostr hashtags being useful. I appreciate @librekitty and @Derek Ross both gave me more helpful advice and explained things when I first got here. People have been really welcoming and I learn something new every time I come on here. There is a huge wealth of knowledge and wisdom on this protocol. The vibes remind me of how people were on YouTube in the early days.

It's more than natural. Each and one of us are chemically different. It's like for example in traditional medicine, you have people that the medicine effect is the opposite, that is supposed to be. Some have allergic reactions, some physical rejection and others instead of being calm, with a pill that should relax, they get 100% speed up. The opposite also happens. I think we should learn to listen to our body and respect what it tells us, what it works and don't, and honour it.
