Nostr Web Client

Outside of large corporations, the internet is and has always been free as in freedom. If you grew up in the pre-Facebook era you know it was a different place back then.

Part of why I love Nostr so much is that it feels like a return to the internet I grew up with. No corporate overlords, no central control, just communities of people keeping their community alive as long as enough people pay the hosting bill.

Indeed, the reason I got attracted to Nostr a year or more ago is because of the similarity with NNTP. It is that UseNet experience that I'm trying to recreate with the more-speech app.

Is that why you include the > quotes in your replies? It's a bit noisy for the reader... :)

Yes, it allows me to respond to questions and statements in-line.

It can be, so I delete them if I think they are extraneous.

Going by memory, it seems like you always leave them in. :) Might be better to default off, except when you need to do the inline response? Just my 2¢. 2 sats? :D

It is interesting though: everyone else here is building Twitter or Facebook, and you're building Usenet. This is the kind of client diversity that Nostr promises: a world of loosely-joined ends. I love it.

I leave them in frequently. I also delete them frequently. It depends upon my mood.

And, yes, I agree. The range of applications is enormous. Nostr is not twitter, is not FB, is not UseNet. Nostr is a protocol and a community that is growing and exceling. I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

Now we just need groups! I don't see a NIP for that...
