Nostr Web Client

GM!

Shill me #nostr, please.

I don’t seem to grasp the impact of nostr. Please help me understand it better.

you own your data (contact list, posts, profile, etc). This is pretty unique, in every other online app the company owns your data and they are just letting you access it until they say you can’t.

your data is portable, it can be stored on your devices and copied to many relays. This effectively makes your online presence unbannable and undeplatformable

you are not just cattle for big tech to sell ads to.

It’s borderless. the protocol integrates the native money of the internet (sats via nostr #zaps) so you can freely transfer value to anyone in the world if you like their post.

Its bridged to other protocols like activitypub so its not isolated to just nostr weirdos

There are 10+ quality clients to choose from if you don’t like the one you first tried. No other social media protocol has this level of client development.

Dope content! I want to repost on my other socials. Want to add a simple how to set up Nostr account. Any good source to guide people to?

I would just tell them to download damus or primal on the appstore, it should be pretty intuitive.

Backerei Arschgeweih 1y ago

I have Primal, and it works great 👍

no protocol ever succeeded by focusing on also supporting others tho, just sayin

#nostr only

I am using Damus, I ❤️ it. However, I have an issue in zapping out. Anyone can help. It was working using the zapper. But now it is not working again. #asknostr

Run this and restart the app!

Thanks I will try.

Good points.

#Nostr doesn't necessarily prevent the current social media regime, it just prevents the regime from black holing you if you decide to opt out.

Worth mentioning that the more people run relays the more decentralised and secure nostr becomes. If you understand why that is so important for money #bitcoin then you will understand why it is so important for social media #nostr

I’m waiting on the iPhone relay node. Like Breez Wallet is a Neutrino Bitcoin node for on the iPhone 😊

Love it. Concise and to the point.

FYI the native money of the Internet is fiat. Literally every online shop from Amazon to DoorDash to AliExpress takes fiat and none take Bitcoin.

Reid Walley 1y ago

Bitcoin is native Internet money, coded in C++ and launched on the Internet Jan 3, 2009.

How was fiat coded and launched on the Internet?

I think it started in 1995 (?) when SSL was invented so we could use credit cards online safely. I think Amazon was founded around that time too.

Reid Walley 1y ago

SSL is not native Internet money.

“SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a standard security technology that encrypts data sent between a website and a browser or between two servers. It provides a secure channel between two machines or devices operating over the internet or an internal network, preventing hackers from seeing or stealing any information transferred, including personal or financial data.” - https://www.digicert.com/what-is-ssl-tls-and-https

Credit cards are also not native Internet money.

#Bitcoin *is* native Internet money. The Bitcoin Timechain only exists on the Internet.

Andreas M. Antonopoulos goes further, with his book titles “The Internet of Money” - https://aantonop.com/books/iom/

It is your open opinion or knowledge at the moment of Posting .

And nobody can change that!

Data cannot be owned.

Information is non-scarce, and thus private property is not necessary.

Incredibly well put!

I really want to dig into "you own your data" on nostr.

Do people feel like that's true?

I certainly don't feel like that. I feel like I can author whatever data I want, but once I publish it I don't have any control over it anymore. My data gets published to many relays in control of many different people with different ideas of how the ecosystem works. I generally have no way to delete or modify the data. I have access to my data whenever I want, but so does everyone else. And that data can be used for seemingly whatever purpose anyone that receives it would like. I'm not sure what would stop a company from using that data to, say, target ads at me.

It's not even really clear where the authority to do any of this comes from. There's no user agreement or anything. If I do own the data, it's certainly not treated that way.

I don't believe any of this makes the system *bad* per se. It just feels like something we haven't figured out yet.

With power comes responsibility. I think un-censorable publishing is power, and that’s a feature here that comes with the responsibility of being tied to what you’ve written in the past.

I also think this is in and of itself is a feature preventing folks from being massive dickheads on here.

As for the ad targeting and such, you can configure your usage of this open protocol in any combination you want and make decisions on value trade offs. We’re widening the attack surface, definitely not fixing everything about capitalism and human nature.
