Props to doubling down on the word though, CLINKs are the new zaps?

I also think it's a mistake to assume that sitting on a Nostr client posting notes is the only way in which one can spend time on Nostr. I have no idea what he does behind the scenes related to Nostr....

So when he went Nostr only that was just a LARP. Nothing changed between the value proposition of Nostr versus X. X is still a centralized cesspool.

Why go Nostr only? Why not do both and not make a big deal out of it? Because he is less convicted now than he was before. I don't care for the aggressive tone so, you can keep typing away but I think the value demonstrations are pretty obvious.

Yes, I agree. You're so right. Anyone who makes a decision and later decides it was the wrong move for them is a larper. I'm sorry for the aggression of pushing back. Anyone who doesn't commit to the same strategy forever, just like you, is a larper. No merit to be found. It was always a lie and the...

But I can't speak for nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx . He can do whatever the fuck he wants. I just haven't gotten the impression (from anything he's said on the...

Every new technology was a void at its inception. But if a guy in a car looked around and said "everyone is still riding horses, I guess cars are a bust" that would tell you something about his conviction in the new technology he's using.

1. You framed the situation in a way that it isn't. He isn't saying Nostr is a bust. 2. Using more than one technology doesn't mean someone is less convicted. I still use fiat because news flash: that's the fucking world I live in. That's where most of the world is. That doesn't make me less convic...

Is Nostr more important to you than your family, health, religion, etc? If not, you're saying it is by spending any of your time here. See how what you said makes no sense? Context matters. If he's...

What do you mean? Made no sense? In those moments yes, Nostr is more important. I could be with my wife and attentive, I am not. I am replying to you.

Of all available options, we choose what we want to do in that moment and that choice relays to others what we value.

At any given time I may be with my family or on my computer. What I spend the majority of the time doing or being around shows my value. If being with my family is not available, then it's not being weighted. (Though that may be a cost benefit analysis: I could leave my job in the middle of the shift to be with my wife, but she would be pretty angry if I got tired over it.)

I am saying he doesn't believe that the Nostr protocol is worth spending as much time on as X. That says something about what he values. "Building" as they say.

Matt - Spook, CEO NanoStrategy · 2d
So maybe in the moment he uses X reaching more people is more important than talking to the same people who already agree with him... What's your point? And how do you even know he spends more time on X than Nostr? So you're allowed to have mixed priorities and not value those things less but that's...
Matt - Spook, CEO NanoStrategy · 2d
There's really nothing to gain from making enemies of one another. We each have to do what we think is best, and the reality is that we aren't all in the same place. We are probably better off having ...

Your time is finite. Implicit in your expenditure of it is a proclamation of value. What you spend your life doing is what is important to you. This is an admission that Nostr is less important to Odell. If I put it in bitcoin terms people would call me lettuce hands and low conviction.

🙄 Jeezus! By @nostr:npub1de6l09erjl9r990q7n9ql0rwh8x8n059ht7a267n0q3qe28wua8q20q0sd, dude. Uhhh, anyone is allowed to send e-mails to a public company e-mail😑. And, so what, if I'm talking about...

You are incorrect about privacy.
Common law is nonsense.
Damus is Canadian.
Grinder is German.
An extortion threat is still a threat.
The sender's email address is not private information.
Claiming legal liability IS a threat in an of itself.

Anyway, I'm not really interested in doing this thread again. Read my other replies if you want more clarity.

Lucas M · 2d
Hmmmm... I'll admit that common law is nowhere near as effective as it used to be. The e-mail address isn't, sure. But, the content is meant to be private. It is a threat, but it wasn't directed toward Will or any other relay operators. Idk, i just see all this from a different viewpoint. I still do...

Fine. I'll concede that technically you are correct about never (though there's a case I can build for the use of it etymologically but that's just being pedantic and who needs that?). You're right a...

I guess I have a different perspective on trust. I never start with a trust assumption even if they are respected or an authority. I understand some/many people have the opposite approach. This does seem to burn them often which is why I have my approach.

I do however conceptually respect transparency of "Publishing all takedown requests" as a way to at least notify those using his relay of attempts at censorship.

It is unfortunate for Grinder that he made a privacy mistake. (I have nothing against him at all) But I find a takedown request (using the state to get what you want) personally more unacceptable.

Difference of opinion perhaps. But, I really respect your approach to discussing it. No ill will toward you at all.

The Beave · 2d
Same! You're someone I can respect even if I disagree on some points. I want to discuss this in public so people know what to expect. So far: Grinder made a decision that most here wouldn't have. Will made it worse. Fuckstr isn't taking any of this seriously so I am just highly doubting his allegat...

I think I agree on all accounts. But a person doing the wrong thing is still always in the wrong. I hate using the phrase victim blaming, but I do see it happen so often even in the smallest cases. Yes I live my life low trust as well, but it's exhausting and kind of unhealthy to your personal gro...
The Beave · 2d
Probably. It is a mess, for sure
