Nostr Web Client

For those of you who are still on Twitter, I had a long debate thread today with Parker Lewis about Nostr. I'm a big fan of Parker, so I figured I'd share it here for shared learning.

Here's the latest post. I'm not sure it'll be the last or not but it's the latest one as of this writing. You can scroll up to see the exchange from the start.

Linking to my own post in isolation is bad form and the thumbnail is awkward depending on what client you're using, so I'll also provide a pic of the start of the debate too, with two posts of his and one of mine.

I'd be open to any thoughts about this debate.

I think these 2 points summed up your rebuttal of what nostr:npub1w69ya7xs697hk3hky3gllryz8rwverfa0ylz89chf9qnhfcskc2s64zltw was trying to get at:

On fixing CEOs getting arrested:

“I do think Nostr de-incentivizes app CEOs from getting arrested since it's way less impactful on the network and there's not much for them to turn over. So if they are arrested they can easily comply to minimize their personal impact without harming the network much.”

On the benefit of #nostr as a technology:

“Socio-political things can affect things temporarily and locally. Technology, on the other hand, can affect things permanently and globally.”

This is why github needs to be fully replaced by nostr. Even though most popular nostr apps are open source and on git (a dvcs), the underlying project and configuration management (PRs, issue tracking, wiki, acls) cannot have its value underestimated. Without it, distribution and maintenance of a project is crippled. Right now, it exists at the grace of microsoft.
