You should try different apps. based on your complaints about nostr it seems you've only ever tried primal. I like nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q , it has the same features that make primal popular like the trending feed and inbuilt lightning wallet, but it...

Go back to Twitter and Instagram, keep on using a permissioned centralized censored services with a business model of national state collusion and psychological manipulation via privacy invasive data collection and targeted advertising.

nostr:nprofile1qqsgeksa4tajm7x673gq2v7t56dkgkh6pjhhzdhrgxlpke4za8jmmkqth3wq8 why do you think Synonym flopped?
John Carvalho profile picture
Well, we're still here, and I think things will look a lot different in 2027. Nostr is basically a flop now. Bitcoin is boring. No one actually fixed much in the last 10 years. We have a bigger plan.

My biggest mistake was vastly overestimating the integrity and intelligence of Bitcoiners as a community. If we hadn't been sucked into the same derivative R&D as most teams the first few years, we'd be closer to our goals.

I no longer care what Bitcoiners think. The culture is wholly retarded right now. I care about helping people solve real problems.

So if @Laser says its okay, its okay? This is open source software, ask your AI to analyze my claims, not random uninformed people. THIS IS WHY YOU KEEP GETTING REKT.

Why should Tether scare anyone in this context? Tether has helped millions more people than Bitcoin, no? I am not aware of any crimes, any deception, nor any examples that are remotely relevant to Synonym tech. Tell me exactly why Tether is a factor?

Why isn't Jack a factor? He actually censored all of us in Twitter.

Why isn't Odell a factor? He led all of you to get robbed by Coldcard.

But here we are on Nostr, debating... Your ability to assess trust is severely broken.

John making good points here.
Bitbear · 1w
All good John - just asking questions and weighing everything up, filtering it etc. I've never been REKT thankfully - mostly because I do just that... ask a lot of questions and listen to a lot of perspectives from people I trust - you and Laser being 2 of them. Sometimes I make assumptions which a...

I would love to join Primal to see what they do at Primal. I say this genuinely. I'm sure they must be doing a bunch of stuff, just bottom 90% of the iceberg stuff (hopefully).

So its a decentralized pointer to a centralized repository of information? Less syntax errors: Pubky uses the world’s most decentralized address book to locate individually centralized data stores.
