#GM Nostr. I've been here a couple of weeks. It's sssllloooooo going. I've tried getting some friends onboard. No luck. Family has no interest. I get it. Not everybody wants to spend time on social media or switch from already entrenched habits. I'm here for the freedom, because I want to contribute to parallel structures, and to escape the toxicity of other platforms. I do have to say though that the "permanence" of posts here is a double-edged sword given the persecutions taking place. It's not like you can delete something that becomes dangerous to one's person. I think a delete functionality is essential.

#GM #asknostr Fairly new here. How do you block obvious bots? Can you?

#GM Nostr. Time to write a song along the lines of 'two sides of the same coin' 'cuz all I'm seeing is a whole lot of irrationality and hypocrisy everywhere.

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate...Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.
