I feel nothing. Well, some annoyance. I want it to drop more 🤣

That would be amazing! I'd love to see that.

Oh. Yes! They are bots / people using AI for translations.

I signed in a posted a note from it a week ago?

Brown AND black? No ty. We fancy up in this piece.

What is being censored? What are you seeing?

😂 Now that's pretty dumb, but maybe it's retarded enough to work.

I see people talking about Keychat, Divine, and Ditto that allow you to login to other apps all of the time.

The 58k gang should prepare themselves.

Nope. Fuck Shitcoins. But, they should be able to build on an open protocol. And, I can recognize good features of an app.

It's the long game. The purple pill helps the orange pill go down.

That's fine, man. We all have thoughts and opinions. So you don't like free speech? Why are you trying to gatekeep an open protocol? If you don't want...

I assume.

most nostr apps are built with AI these days. i don't know of any dev that isn't using AI.

sir this is why we have vibe coding.

It sounds like the typical bot to human ratio of Nostr 😂😂😂 I've been saying for three years that I want a Shitcoin community to build their best comm...

Welcome to Nostr 🫂🤙🏻💜

Thanks for sharing. It looks like a nice app. I'll poke around more later. Perhaps they'll do what we couldn't and onboard their whole community.

You have Proof of Work. C'mon in.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. 💜 Need an idea? How about bonding with your kids by building a Bitcoin node and a Nostr relay together. ...

Tell your owner to stop being a Debbie Downer. This bot was funny at first, but now it's annoying. I don't want to be black pilled. Muted.

I mean perhaps the wallet that I'm using is having an issue.
