Don't expect TikTok migration to Nostr. They will migrate to X. And that in turn might move a few X users to come here. A few percent of a few percent. That's all it will be.

Germany's Army (Bundeswehr) and the Federal Ministry of Defence have announced their decision to stop posting on the X. There was probably too much backlash from the right wingers and truthers out there, so they couldn't keep up (speculation).
But what do they choose instead of making their posts credible by signing them with a private key? Exactly, dependence on another privately owned US service provider, which is probably WhatsApp at the moment. 😁

And suddenly Meta is no longer woke 😂
Spineless, like a weathervane.
Not like the Nostr company.

Nostr client manufacturers, think about this. Hardly a beginner associates the name of your client with a Nostr client. Forget even the word "client", that's too abstract. Yes, of course, protocol is one thing and client is another, I'm aware of this distinction. But the beginner is not. They search for "Nostr" in the app stores and find nothing to download.
The word "Nostr" must be included in the name. There is no alternative. Come up with something.
Or leave it as something that only people with the concept of client/server architecture in their heads understand, your choice. Mental entry barrier or not? Your choice.
Naming things. Still so difficult. It requires the psychological property of perspective-taking.

Atheists keep saying this all the time, but actually it's the atheistic, nihilistic era of humanity, the current so-called 'modernity,' that has broken all records in this regard.
From world wars and colonialism to fiat pharma, fiat life style and fiat food, humanity had never before reached this scale of destruction and agony.

Hahaha, Jaguar is currently receiving a lot of criticism for its woke logo rebranding. Fun to go all the comments 😂

Someone's trying to sell a new Muslim shitcoin token to me right now on LinkedIn. Not the coins itself but they want my participation in the project somehow.
They have no idea who they are talking to (the deadliest maxi in the scene).
But I will approach my counterattack very gently at first. I will sneak up with carefully chosen questions, like a leopard in the thicket, before I strike. 😀

What bro? You can memorize 12/24 words, then you can also memorize your nsec(s). 😁

For anyone currently suggesting Rumble as an alternative to YouTube (bc of censorship), this is the email they sent to their users yesterday. It doesn't look very promising for them either. I think they will be 'rumbling' next soon.
All the VC-funded, centralized service providers will gradually go downhill. Either because they sell out to interest groups for big money and then have to dance to their tune, or because they can't find a better business model. Advertising has never worked as a sole business model on the internet. The internet is simply not made for advertising. I've always said that. The dumbest job title is "Online Marketing Manager," an oxymoron.
So far, they have all survived through capital injections, partly from intelligence agencies and partly from large lobbies. But these groups are slowly becoming impatient and eventually want to reap some rewards. However, this will not happen through online advertising. So they will have to implement other levers and budgets and be able to classify it as state propaganda or generally "narrative building." Just like with X. Thus, legacy "social media" will slowly turn into the Orwellian brainwashing instrument that can at least be repurposed and somehow monetized.
In the long run, Nostr will be the only credible, grassroots social network. And, what I personally hope for, websites or weblogs will make a comeback. But for that, the final boss Google must be defeated. However, there are already faint signs that its decline has begun.

Checking if Primal still does DoFollow links on the profile page ... it does. Few.
Listen: Corruption starts, when these links turn to NoFollow links. Mark my words.

Two opposing views on the Muslims in the West.
The more negative view:
and the more optimistic view:
I tend to assume the latter.
Because justice is the most basic good that Muslims have to defend, even if it is against themselves. And this criterion came before all worship rituals, before the Harams were even introduced. And justice is at its worst in traditionally Muslim countries.

Ok, expect a new wave of Brazilian nostriches in the next days. 'Cause Brazil will block X within the next 24 hours. And those caught using a VPN to access X will be fined R$ 50,000 (€8,000) a day.
