Don't, just don't participate in both eco systems, Google and Apple. At all. Their only leverage is your greed. We must build a parallel ecosystem. We must. View quoted note →

Three year npub anniversary! 🎉 Exactly 3 Gregorian years ago today, I created this npub, and I have been active with it ever since. Before that, sometime around late November or early December 2022, I made my first npub using some weird, ugly Nostr client and played around with it a bit. But sadly, I lost the nsec from back then. It was only two months later that I created a new one, which is this one.

Nostr is a good environment for you. First, it influences you to use Bitcoin as currency, then it encourages you to provide real value to the community, then it motivates you to boost your personal OpSec (VPNs, Linux, GrapheneOS etc.), since you've already cleared the tough hurdle with key pairs, NWC strings, and relays, it'll also make you even more tech-savvy over time, it might even plant an idea in your head to grow or raise your own food, at least part of it. In short: It's good for you to be here. Nostr makes you freer and more productive.
