Nostr user: "I believe in freedom!" Laeserin: "Well, then we shouldn't just let dictatorial organizations like OpenSats and the HRF decide what direction Nostr should take through the use of potential grant offerings, because then developers will always be at risk of having funding taken away if they don't abide by their grantor's guidelines and wishes. Then we'd just be repeating the same mistakes that users of centralized platforms and services continue to make to this day. A new, more democratic system where all Nostriches have a voice in the grant decision-making processβ€”as well as in determining how large grants should beβ€”is a more innovative approach. Isn't innovation and freedom what Nostr is supposed to be all about? A protocol where all those who are willing to voice their opinion on polarizing infrastructural matters genuinely possess some degree of stewardship over the protocol, rather than just pretending they do." Other Nostr users: "😑🀬How dare you go against the most followed people on Nostr!!! I'm going to make the completely illogical assumption that you're a Marxist and tell everyone to mute you!"

I spent the past week totally overwhelmed by my technology. These tools which give us so much, also tend to piece-meal my brain into chaos. So I put the tech away, and start to engage with the real world more, and a whole new mental-health crisis ensues from observing my #irl community; Americans are strung out, stressed out, and overburdened. Very few people I know are finding real hope and inspiration from their day to day. This could just be a reflection of my own experience, in which my own hope and optimism are constantly being challenged by unhappy people who have everything they need, but who continue to focus on the negative outcomes. I call it #aggressiveoptimism. I will beat your negativity into a bloody pulp, and pound your head full of positive thinking. It’s the only way I can survive this onslaught. Y’all give me hope. #bitcoiners know what matters. ✌🏼🧑 View quoted note β†’
