It's good to see your enthusiasm for freedom and informed autonomy. The technologies are able to be used by moral actors to accomplish ethical goals. We have been living in an increasingly decentralised world for many decades. Open source encryption, operating systems, software, and hardware has been developed for many purposes.

One project of particular interest to me is making knowledge and technology anti-fragile for thousands of years. The interplanetary file system is one of the more gratifying developments in recent years. Decentralised knowledge systems are growing in scope and shrinking in cost.

Financial autonomy is also developing new levels of sophistication. People are and of right ought to be free.

I think I am somewhere between Digital Nomad & Cyber Muse.

Would love to be more of a Cyber Homesteader though. Need to start putting more efforts into that...

Great resources.

I started a Noster (Primal) page as a backup for when I eventually get booted from X. I have a whopping 3 followers!

Do you have a Nostr page somewhere Gabriel?

Yep, I have one for LSN:

I'm not great at keeping it up to date but I do use it occasionally!

You can also follow my main LSN account on the fediverse through the mostr bridge (mostr.pub)

Sorry for the newbie question, but how do see your page? I plugged that address into the search bar at mostr.pub or even added it after the URL with a /, but I can't see it.

Plus, the Greta Thunberg on their home page scares me a bit. LOL

It's cause threads is more establishment friendly, that site bridges the fediverse, threads, and nostr all together.

Both profiles can be seen from ditto.pub which is where I use nostr from these days.

You just throw the npub string into the address bar, because technically nostr profiles don't exist on any service but on the relays they're connected to.

So, I did this:

https://primal.net/p/npub1v5vuemdfxlv5pyqmllmecdcnw8fercus0knqdxvf005vyp76xvmqs9n0ys

and it gives me a page that has 43 notes and says: Joined Nostr on Apr 17, 2024, is that you?

Thank you!

I worry that claims of a polluted information landscape are overblown.

I won't deny there are issues and that it's generally bad, but the crucial distinction is that this is largely an individual problem.

I can't "solve" somebody else's information environment. I can only point to tools and techniques that I've found helpful to tune out the noise and preserve what's important.

"Social media bad" is an easy drum to beat, but I can't help but notice that the "solutions" generally offered are awful. I don't want leaders, government, or corporations to "fix" the problem.

I want people to make use of the tools to rebuild genuine community on and offline without being beholden to corrupt institutions.

Pardon the rant. I agree with the main thrust of your point!
