When I was in my student years, working the worst jobs to finance my studies, my father once asked me, 'Why are you doing this job and not another, more paying one?' I said something like, 'Because of the validation, the appreciation they show me (at work).'
My father just laughed and said, 'Money is the only appreciation from strangers.' He would love Nostr.

So no solution for world improvement for everyone, rather an optional individual lifeboat for those who want it. Okay, valid thought.

I've heard there are nasty things going on in the chat.

Are you sure, this is because of censorship in a client or relay? If so, we could call their hypocrisy out. For using a censorship-resistant platform and still trying to censor at the relay or client level. I have no problem, when individuals block or mute me. Rejecting VPN IPs is also an odd thing to do as you're sharing it with other people.
Of course, there is always the danger that such a soft ban can be applied to popular clients or relays.

From the definition:
"WoT (Web Of Trust) is one of the best ways to determine how trustworthy someone might be, based on your social graph.
In Coracle, this number is equal to how many people you follow that also follow a given person, minus pow(2, log(n)), where n is how many people you follow who have muted this person. This allows you to see at a glance if someone is accepted in your network. This helps reduce spam, impostors, and objectionable content.
You can set a minimum web of trust score on your content settings page, which will
automatically mute anyone with a lower score than your threshold."
But, like on Twitter, this leads to clusters around certain groups
of people, and in combination with the ability to filter out users
below a certain score (which is set to zero by default), it could become
an effective canceling tool. It's like saying "you're not part of the
core group." This makes it difficult for other bubbles to become visible
to Coracle users.

We had this phase where all of us privacy-conscious freaks thought WhatsApp was evil. And we were promoting Signal. But at the same time, everyone of us complained that no one in their circle could be convinced to use Signal.
Now, 7-8 years later, it has happened. I have more contacts on Signal than on WhatsApp. My family, my best friends and people I work with. More things happen through Signal daily than through WhatsApp. WhatsApp has lost in my circle, which stretches from Europe, to Africa, and to the US. It wasn't always easy, but one had to remain hard and consistent. One had to say, "If you want something from me, you have to contact me through Signal." It took years, but we finally won this little battle, alhamdulillah.
Anyone who continues to primarily use WhatsApp is either a toddler or a loser.
Take that as a template for how things that seemed unchangeable can indeed change, بإذن الله.

So dumb. It's so closely related to each other. But they only teach the 'action movie' parts, like this king attacked that king and so on.

The only thing preventing ordinary people from perceiving Bitcoin as an artificial topic is that it is still too little accepted as a means of payment.
And the only thing preventing Nostr to be more widely adopted is the terrible UX of its clients.

I don't know. They actually only added a bit of coleslaw to it.. But I guess the Almancılar needed some success stories too.

"Raise your voice," they say repeatedly.
Nonsense.
People have been raising their voices for decades. Young people shouldn't think they're the first to start. Whoever one may raise their voice against, they don't fear voices.
Voices are just sound and smoke. Voices come and go. They are easily distracted by the next big thing. Anyway, the agenda, everything people talk about, is dictated by the mass media. All kinds of voices are already factored in and anticipated.
Social media is just there to channel these feelings and release some pressure, so no one can seriously muster the energy to change their lives. Because that's what 'they' really fear. Not the raised voices on social media, but the quietly and steadily changed personal behaviors. And on a scale approaching critical mass.

Yo online store owners! This is why you should be accepting Bitcoin payments:
1 € product, paid via
Screenshot #1: PayPal (42% fee)
Screenshot #2: Credit Card, Stripe (27% fee)
Screenshot #3: Lightning, BTCPay (0% fee)
Even if you use a 3rd party Lightning payment provider, the fees would be something around 1 or 2 %.

Somehow this dialogue box doesn't save the unlock password in Chrome-based browsers under Linux (Ubuntu). It does with Firefox/Ubuntu though, that's why I use Alby only with Firefox.
It's a small thing but it sucks in everyday use.
