Some of the most-hated people are actually the most-influential because you don't hate something empty of information or activity. There has to be some substance, there, to raise one of your strongest emotions. And it often also raises the exact opposite emotion in other people.

That's why Jesus is the most-hated person of all time, as well as the most-loved. Be more like Jesus.

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth." Revelations 3:15, New Testament, the Holy Bible.

You all act like I'm suggesting some sort of magic, when it's a public data set, and we can see what someone has liked, zapped, bookmarked, labeled, added to a topical list that isn't "follows", muted, given a badge, reported, labeled, replied-to, highlighted, boosted, or quoted, and which relays that they can be found on.

Following someone doesn't even imply that you have ever seen anything they have written. In fact, many of you are following npubs that have never even posted anything. They followed you and you immediately followed-back, and once they got their "WoT" count up, high enough to not be considered "spam", they started sliding into people's DMs and asking them if they want to learn about crypto.

Write a better algo. Or don't, and someone else will.

GM #nostr 💜

Kind of gave up on simplex and just using messages within nostr.

What does the privacy icon do in amethyst messages?

Long weekend. Busy weekend. Always forward.

Goodnight and wabi sabi, Nostr. 🫂💜🤙🏻

relay.nostreplebs.com is back.

#WoT relays based upon follows are turning Nostr into a gigantic circle-jerk.

That brief moment of panic, when you're out of the WiFi and you accidentally open #Amethyst.

My son just scored his first goal of the season! ⚽

Follow lists are the solution to the problem of finding some particular subset of items (in this case, npubs) within a very large set. A set the size of "all Twitter users" or "all Instagram users", for example.

They are a solution to a problem we do not have.

Our problem is the opposite:

We have lots of disparate data sets and need to find particular items somewhere in them.

Help, @npub1kva...tkzv I can't zap!⚡

I'm just now getting into VPN usage and I'm surprised how not straight forward it is. So I paid NordVPN and downloaded these ovpn files and set my network manager to use these but to my surprise, IPv6 leaks my real location/country even if I disable IPv6 in the network manager for both the wired and the vpn connection? How can it be that easy to screw up VPN usage in 2025?

This is a good video to share with people who aren't used to nerding out on this topic. Explained clearly, simply, and accurately.

Is primal.net severely throttled for people who aren't logged in?

Good morning ✌️🧡
