Jack Dorsey backs diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive of six-second, looping videos. A new app called diVine will give access to more than 100,000 archived Vine videos, restored from an older backup that was created before Vine's shutdown.

well in this case it was made clear they were mistaken about the whole thing and therefore the passive-aggressive tone they were using was completely unwarranted.
I thought we were talking about where they asked what was meant by “crypto powered social media” because that was vague wording that could correctly refer to all social media’s use of cryptography / nostr’s more advanced cryptography, but could also incorrectly imply nostr runs on a blockchain or something, depending whether the crypto is supposed to be short for “cryptography” or “cryptographic currency” (cryptocurrency)
I didn’t see anywhere in this thread where the user asking that question was mistaken about anything
I have never put a lightning address on my current nostr profile. I spend hours a day on nostr and people only comment on me being “unzappable” (untippable) a few times a month
But are you saying you’d quit piefed if they added a built in wallet for every user? For me it would depend how it works
Either way I thought we were discussing the rhetorical question about “crypto powered social media.” That seemed like a totally fair way to save time getting clarification, instead of explaining the whole issue with the vagueness
nostr has a pretty bad reputation due to the nature of the protocol’s inception and the people involved. any time that specific network is brought up, the discussion pivots.
So if someone says “the moon is made is of unicorns” and I say “what are you talking about? no it isn’t…” is that JAQing off? I’d call it challenging someone making an absurd claim.
There aren’t any concepts or domain expertise I’m hiding here – I’m merely saying “wtf are you talking about??” to someone spouting off random nonsense.
I mean, re-reading, I guess I should have asked how it’s like Twitter. Lightning being duct-taped to the side, while being normatively loaded, is actually accurate since the lightning integration is just that. One protocol interacting with another.
instead of asking obviously leading questions, why not tell people what you know?
What’s wrong with using rhetorical questions as a response when people talk shit without expanding on it?
depends on the thing you’re asking about.
The example we were discussing

What are you talking about?

this was discussed elsewhere. nostr is tightly coupled to lightning.
I have never put a lightning address on my current nostr profile. I spend hours a day on nostr and people only comment on me being “unzappable” (untippable) a few times a month

That wasn’t a question…
If people are going to make wild assertions, I’m going to question them about them.
your previous two replies were. and by “just asking questions” about things you obviously know more about, you’re not adding to the conversation.

false equivalency. they made a plausible claim.
Which one?
the fact that nostr is very tightly integrated with bitcoin, to the point that the lightning network extension basically is part of the standard.
I mean, re-reading, I guess I should have asked how it’s like Twitter. Lightning being duct-taped to the side, while being normatively loaded, is actually accurate since the lightning integration is just that. One protocol interacting with another.
it is like twitter in that it’s designed to be like twitter.
