## about me

Hi, my name is David Rinaldo.

I subscribe to [Crocker's Rules](http://sl4.org/crocker.html).

There's a new decentralized social media built around the [Nostr protocol](https://nostr.com/) which solves a lot of the centralization and [censorship problems Mastodon has](https://nostr.com/comparisons/mastodon). Similar also to [Secure ScuttleButt](https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/) but without the focus on [local only asynchronous communication paradigm](https://nostr.com/comparisons/ssb) which solves some core usability problems with SSB. I host a Nostr relay which is locked down to close friends at the moment. If you want to use it get in touch with me and I'm happy to add you.
