It seems, looking through my feed here, that the users of #Nostr are more likely to embrace #AI than users of the fediverse. I just find that interesting. Also, if one were to look at using AI on a more regular basis, which one is least likely to abuse #personalprivacy?

I took this screenshot a few years ago. I needed this. A reminder that it's ok not to be normal... Because I ain't normal.

If Nostr could implement the Privacy Groups feature of Hubzilla, I think it could easily be the Fediverse 2.0.... Or maybe 3.0 or whatever an upgrade would be. This feature is literally the only thing holding me back.
Not all posts are public. Some posts need a limited audience.

311 in the ears tonight.
I've been on a band rediscovery lately. Listening to bands I listened to years ago, but haven't picked them up recently. Relistening to the lyrics. I'm finding that the same lyrics mean something different 20 years later In many cases.

When I first joined the Fediverse many years ago, most of my timeline was filled with people trying to understand how to use it or troubleshoot issues they were having. Not very many posts about interesting things. Fast forward to today and 90% of my noster timeline is people trying to understand it or troubleshooting issues that they have with it. Just an observation.

This is a local beer, found in the St. Louis area. But nearly all breweries are making a pumpkin beer so you could find something local to you.

Mondays are always long for me. But hey, I made it home after a long day's work. Now to partake in a O'Fallon Pumpkin Beer. Cheers! 🍺🍻🍺And good night. Oh, and my Alby Hub is broken... So I need to get that fixed up. That's a problem for another day. 😉

Good evening, y'all. I took the top of the Jeep for the first time. I couldn't ever be confident it wouldn't rain for an extended period of time and I haven't bought a soft top yet. Nor do I have a garage. It's not supposed to rain for a week. I cruised around the whole county today. It was a blast. Skillet playing loud. There's something freeing about driving around with the wind blowing all around.

I'm not sure what I did, but Nostr lost my profile picture, banner, some follows, my name, my lightning address.. pretty much defaulted my profile. But my feed still had data. I was fooling around with some things last night, I wonder what I did to cause that.

I'm here to play with Nostr again. I think the biggest thing missing for me here is audience control.
There ought to be a way to post in a way where you can designate who sees your post depending on the degree of friend they are to you.
Friendica, Hubzilla, Streams, and Forte does this. Facebook & Instagram does this. Maybe someday, someone will build that into the Nostr system.

2024-09-15 03:47:33 UTC

If I wanted to control who sees what posts on Nostr, would I have too run my own relays and only let certain people join the relays?
For example, I want to post a family photo, but not publicly.
Or maybe I want to post content about a certain subject to only those I trust. I'd need my own relay for each 'Access List'?

$13 of my $50 disappeared to fees? That seems like a significant loss. Is that fee dependent on how much I'm moving? Is that percentage of loss normal?
I'm fully aware that I probably don't see the bigger picture, yet.
I'm just asking questions so I can learn.
