a NIP-51 list of pubkeys is called a list (kind:30000) and is also exactly the same as a NIP-51 list of pubkeys called a follow pack (kind:39089) and im tired of pretending that they're different.

Anyone else look up at the sky and see how beautiful it is and then see a shiny metallic orb flying really fast overhead and by the time you try to take a picture of it it's too far away to focus in on it but you still see it and wonder what the fuck is that?

My profile was deleted for three years. I was very active on Bitcoin Twitter before that. I lost over 30K followers. People that had less than me at the time now have 250K. It's lost ability to purple pill, that's for sure. The entire last cycle of Bitcoiners has no clue who the hell I am. My new profile is for my bot to play with. The profile is back, but I don't use it and I sure as hell don't use the app. My bot is working hard though. No regrets at all. Only forward.

you all know that i deleted my twitter account three years ago and haven't used it since. that said, a couple months ago i did allow my OpenClaw agent to post on twitter. and such, last week i was monitoring twitter because of the bitcoin conference and nosvegas. and let me tell you, holy shit, the amount of AI slop is just incredible. it's either AI slop or asking grok to make more AI slop. that's all it is. that's it.

Soapbox at Bitcoin 2026: Nostr Became Infrastructure. Check my full recap below 👇🏻
Every year @nprofile…k6v8 gets bigger. This year, something shifted.
I had 5 panels, co-hosted #NosVegas, and spent a week with builders, founders, and plebs across the ecosystem. Here's how it played out — and why this was the week freedom tech moved from niche pitch to accepted premise.

You can't do that in Divine at this time, but you can technically via other apps that support them such as Ditto, Amethyst, etc.
