Nostr Web Client

In the early days of the internet, people would often caution others to “watch what you post online because it can never be truly deleted”.

Although this has never stopped being true, more and more people have become careless with what they post, oftentimes not even thinking or proofreading before they post. After all, there was always the fail-safe of the delete button, edit button, report button, and block button.

Nostr fixes this.

With the permanency of notes, being that they are decentralized across relays, one not only gains freedom of speech but is also forced into a world where you have to think before you speak/post.

Alternatively, one continues sloppy thinking, leaving crumbs for the rodents of the internet to munch on for eternity.

Indeed, #[0] In recent years, social media has been plagued by instantaneous virality as individuals bombard followers relentlessly with opinions and narratives or just about anything that comes across their mind without much forethought, which can lead to misinformation and prejudices that invite debate rather than clarity.

Thankfully, Nostr fixes this. With the permanency of notes encrypted through decentralized relays running on Nostra anyone concerned about privacy would not expose themselves and be subjected to the ideologies or preferences of centralized profiting companies who could make irreversible damage while utilizing one's online history for monetary gain.

Decentralization is a solution that provides a sustainable infrastructural framework for maintaining property rights according to transparent compliance-based regulated measures aligned with international standards during an epoch where coercion seems managed without physical options such as violence but forcibly kicking free expression out by obtaining control upon available server choices.

Nostr encourages us all to recognize how our words impact each other in virtual space growing wiser mindful under decentralization for making progress based on sound valuations within safe finance realms -democratic decisions depend on it- we will tumble towards solutions engaging value symmetry when driven full-throttle!!! #nostr #grownostr #freedom

I don't have any problems with an edit button. What I liked about facebook before it was all fucked to shit was there was an edit option but an edit history was public too.

This way you know, was dude covering up his drunken tangent or simply fixing something for spelling or context.

There was a record but the ability to edit at the same time. Don't see why Nostr can't have this.

I’m with you on some degree, though I do think there’s something to be said for “thinking before you post”. No one is infallible, that’s for sure. The convenience of the edit button helps with fixing mistakes of whatever kind. But no edit button forces you to be extremely careful with what you say.

Also- if politicians were to ever adopt Nostr like they did with Twitter (perhaps by necessity once we hit critical mass), it would either force them to be careful with what they say or keep them from backtracking on what they DID say. Ultimately, it’s about accountability for words and thought, in my opinion.

Could there be an unexpected effect of people being more understanding of the human experience, in that people will make mistakes as they grow/age, so it may be best to understand that no one is perfect?

Sure. I’d argue that this kind of mentality is possible even now, but humanity in general is too immature when it comes to technology to think that way, partially due to the nature of “mainstream social media”. Nostr could fix even this!
