Nostr Web Client

The more I think about Nostr the more it blows my mind.

I can just say whatever crazy shit I want and there’s like no guardrails or mods—it’s just out there, and people will actually see it.

No one appreciates just how powerful this is, how important it is, monumental even.

It creates a totally new possibility for the social web, which is really something else entirely. It’s the possibility of a new world in which people own their data; their information. No longer to be exploited, or owned, people can really say whatever they want.

And that is truly extraordinary.

but we don't own our data on Nostr. The vast majority of people doesn't run relays and even those who do copy their daya to a dozen other relays.

All data here is free to be exploited by anyone who wants.

We can't even revoke data here. If you say something that you later regret, you are screwed.

nah just like internet, some tools are one to many, and some are one to one, and more secure

Data vending machines arent even new on nostr, people alreasy showing you can buy or sell data.

It's not if its free or not - its the right to do it. And the impossibility of being stopped.

I know, I wasn't trying to say that Nostr is bad because of this, but saying "we own our data" here doesn't seem right.

For this, all data would have to be encrypted and we would have system where we can set who is able to decrypt the data and for how long. Would be a very different network (and maybe could even be built on top of Nostr).
